WEDDINGS IN ITALY
You travelled across the world for this moment.
Your ceremony should be just as unforgettable as the view.
In 2028, I'm bringing Under the Arbour's award winning wedding experience to Italy, offering personalised English-speaking ceremonies and behind-the-scenes content creation for couples celebrating abroad
Why Italy? A little about our next chapter
Sometimes the most exciting chapters begin with a decision to do something a little different.
In 2028, my family and I are taking a year to live overseas. A chance to experience life in another part of the world, embrace new adventures and continue growing Under the Arbour beyond Australia.
As an Australian celebrant and Italian citizen, Italy has always held a special place in my heart. And with this next chapter comes an opportunity to bring my love of storytelling, wedding ceremonies and content creation to couples celebrating in one of the world's most beautiful destinations.
For Australian couples, that means having someone familiar in your corner. Someone who understands home, brings years of wedding experience and can work alongside your chosen Italian wedding team to create a ceremony that feels entirely yours.
It's a new chapter for me, and perhaps a beautiful part of yours, too.
How I Can Be Part of Your Celebration
A ceremony that's yours
A personalised, English-speaking ceremony written around your story, your relationship and the experience you want to share with your favourite people.
Wedding content creation
Alongside celebrancy, I'm offering content creation for Italian weddings in 2028. From the excitement before the ceremony to the moments unfolding around you, I'll capture the atmosphere and memories you'll want to revisit.
Wherever Italy takes you
From lakeside celebrations and Tuscan villas to intimate coastal weddings, I'm available to travel throughout Italy and work alongside the venue, planner and suppliers you've chosen.

For Australian couples planning a wedding in Italy, there's something special about having someone who understands home, while sharing your love for celebrating somewhere extraordinary.
✓ Australian celebrant and content creator
✓ Italian citizen with a personal connection to Italy

Planning Your Legal Marriage
A beautiful ceremony in Italy. The legalities taken care of at home.
For Australian couples planning a destination wedding, one option is to complete the legal marriage formalities in Australia before travelling.
This allows your Italian celebration to be a symbolic ceremony, with the freedom to focus on your story, your vows and the people who have travelled to share the experience.
If you'd like, we can also arrange for an authorised Under the Arbour celebrant to conduct your legal marriage in Australia before you depart.
Considering a legally recognised ceremony in Italy?
Legal marriage requirements in Italy are different from those in Australia and depend on your circumstances and the local authorities involved.
I'm happy to discuss your plans, but any legal ceremony in Italy would need to be arranged and confirmed in accordance with the relevant Italian requirements.
Wherever your Italian wedding takes you
There's something extraordinary about choosing a place far from home to celebrate one of life's biggest moments.
Perhaps it's exchanging vows overlooking Lake Como, gathering your closest people in a Tuscan villa or celebrating against the backdrop of the Amalfi Coast.
Wherever you've imagined your Italian wedding, I'd love to hear about it.
I'll work alongside your chosen wedding planner, venue and professional team to create a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed and entirely yours.
And if you'd love to capture more of the experience, we can explore wedding content creation as part of your celebration too.
