- Will
the wedding be recognised in Ireland ?
Whether it is a civil wedding or a church wedding
in Italy or Prague the marriage is recognised legally in Ireland.
- What
if either partner is divorced?
Divorce precludes the availability of a catholic
wedding but ceremonies in other churches are possible and civil
services remain an option as long as the final decree has been
obtained.
- Is
it possible to avail of a full religious ceremony everywhere in
Italy ?
Not quite everywhere as some Bishops have refused
to allow overseas weddings in their diocese. Be sure to check
before booking that this is not the case in the area of your
choice.
- Do
you organise weddings of all sizes ?
From 2 to 200 and more if necessary.
- Do
you organise weddings for just the bride and groom ?
We have arranged weddings where only the bride
and groom travel and we can arrange witnesses for the day.
- How
long does the legal paperwork take ?
While it is possible to complete all the requirements
in two months it is best to allow four so to have ample time.
- Are
there any restrictions on music ?
Many places, particularly in towns and cities
insist that all music ends before midnight and some even stipulate
that any music must be subdued at all times. It is possible
however to book receptions in certain locations not too isolated
that allow for music dance and drink into the small hours.
- Can
we have a DJ ?
Most places we use for receptions allow for disco
but be sure to check.
- Can
an English speaking priest perform our ceremony ?
Invariably we can source an English speaking priest.
- Do
you have a coordinator in Italy who could help us should we decide
to visit a preferred location ?
We have different coordinators in different areas
and so long as given adequate notice they will be happy to meet
prospective clients and show them a location in advance of the
final decision regarding location.
- Once
we decide on a location how soon should we put down a deposit
?
The location including ceremony and services will
be confirmed only on contract and deposit. So the sooner the
contract is signed and deposit is paid the sooner we can confirm
and guarantee the package.
- Can
we include extras in our package ?
All packages we show are samples and each couple
build their own package to include any requests they might have.
- How
far in advance should we start planning our wedding ?
In order to be sure to get the location of your
choice the sooner the better but where circumstances demand
and a good degree of flexibility is present we can arrange weddings
in 4 to six months.
- Is
there a variety of choices of menu ?
The wedding meal is extremely important to Italians
so menu choices and other options are always plentiful.
- Do
I need to have witnesses if I want a civil wedding ?
Yes it is impossible to have civil certification
without witnesses but we can if necessary provide witnesses.
- Can
I arrange a meeting face to face to discuss locations ?
We encourage at least one face to face meeting
and there is no charge for these consultations.
- Can
we get testimonies from other couples who have availed of your
services ?
We have a number of previous clients happy to
assure you and give you pointers.
- Can
I have my ceremony and reception outdoors ?
Most locations have the option of outdoor receptions
but must have availability of an indoor option should the weather
turn inclement. Catholic weddings take place in church only
but there are some outdoor possibilities for civic only weddings.
- Can
we rent a castle for our wedding ?
No problem, well as long as your budget can stand
it that is !!!
- If
I have already organised the church can you still assist me in
organising the wedding reception and accommodation ?
We will try to assist in any way possible but
of course cannot take responsibility for any aspect that you
choose to arrange for yourself.
- If
either partner is not Irish is there a difference in the documentation
required ?
Each country has its own paperwork requirements
but most are quite similar. Check with your coordinator as soon
as you are ready to go ahead.
- Do
you arrange flights ?
No we do not arrange flights as it is now safest,
cheapest and easiest for individuals to book their own on the
web.
