EspañolBilingual ceremonies
Bilingual wedding ceremonies in Italy
When your families speak different languages, your ceremony should speak to all of them. Our celebrants lead ceremonies in six languages, and with an interpreter in any other.
How it works
One ceremony that flows in every language
A bilingual ceremony is not simply a ceremony said twice. We write it so every guest is involved and emotionally present from start to finish, keeping the emotion and the rhythm of the moment. No language, and no group of guests, comes before the other.
We work with international, Italian and mixed-nationality couples, and we match each couple with the celebrant whose languages and style fit best.

Reviews
What couples say
We met Francesca over a Skype call and immediately clicked! It felt like we had known each other for years. Francesca helped us plan our ceremony quickly and easily, which was so helpful since we are based in California planning a wedding in Italy. My now-husband and I eloped so it was just the two of us and Francesca made our ceremony so special with her readings ...and perfect English! She even spoke in Italian throughout the ceremony by our request. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day in Lake Como, Italy. I highly recommend Francesca to create a warm-hearted ceremony for any size wedding - large or small. Thank you!
Our wedding was conducted by Raffaele, who was very friendly and professional at the same time. He came on time and gave us a wonderful ceremony that everyone enjoyed. Communication to plan the event was solely done through e-mails with Francesca and Chiara, who were very helpful to us in providing information and answering our questions. We thank them and Raffaele for that very special moment on that very special day.
We had the most amazing Wedding Officiant in Francesca! She made the ceremony so meaningful and personal. She had a huge smile throughout and was so friendly. She is so very helpful and speedy before the big day, which is especially great for a nervous bride in another country. We could not have asked for a better Officiant. She was a very special part of our ceremony.
FAQ
Questions couples ask us
Which languages are available?
Italian, English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese directly with our celebrants, and any other language with a professional interpreter.
Is everything said twice?
Not word for word. Some moments are in both languages, others alternate, and we write it so every guest is involved and emotionally present all the time. No language, and no group of guests, has priority over the other.
Can the ceremony be in three languages?
We prefer not to. A ceremony in three languages easily becomes long and loses its rhythm, so we do not suggest it. Tell us about your families and we will find the best way to involve everyone.
Can one celebrant lead the whole ceremony in both our languages?
Often, yes: we match you with the celebrant whose languages fit your families, so one person can lead the whole ceremony.
What if some guests speak a language you do not cover?
We work with a professional interpreter, so every guest can follow the ceremony.
