WEDDINGS IN ITALY
You travelled across the world for this moment.
Your ceremony should be just as unforgettable as the view.
Under the Arbour is bringing its award-winning ceremony experience to Italy. From the vineyards of Tuscany to the coastline of Amalfi, we'll create an English-speaking ceremony that's deeply personal, beautifully delivered, and remembered long after your wedding day.
Why Italy?
Every destination wedding deserves someone who understands home.
Australian couples planning a wedding in Italy often find themselves choosing between a local celebrant who doesn't understand them, or flying someone across the world.
From 2028, you won't have to choose.
As an Australian celebrant and Italian citizen, Nat brings together the warmth and familiarity Australian couples love with the local presence that makes planning in Italy feel effortless.

Planning Your Legal Marriage
The simple option
Most Australian couples choose to complete the legal marriage formalities in Australia before travelling.
That allows your wedding ceremony in Italy to focus entirely on your story, your family and your celebration.
If you'd like, one of our trusted Under the Arbour celebrants can conduct your Australian legal ceremony before you depart.
Looking ahead
As an Italian citizen, Nat will also be working with individual Comuni to explore opportunities to conduct delegated legal civil ceremonies where local regulations allow.
Wherever your Italian wedding takes you
Italy is filled with extraordinary places to celebrate, each with its own character and charm. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony among the vineyards of Tuscany, exchanging vows beside the waters of Lake Como, celebrating along the Amalfi Coast, or gathering family in a quiet countryside villa, we'll travel wherever your story takes you.
Every ceremony is thoughtfully created around you, your relationship and the people who have travelled to share the day. The setting may change, but the experience remains the same. Calm guidance, genuine storytelling and a ceremony that feels deeply personal from beginning to end.
