 enice is an ideal backdrop for the most romantic event of your life. Its magnetic beauty, and an inimitable fusion of the welcoming qualities of its people together with cuisine that can be second to none, attract thousands of couples every year. But what if you are already married?
We suggest reliving this most important of moments in your life all over again – but this time in a city that has no peer; one that oozes romanticism and love and that is, quite simply, Venice. Imagine exchanging your vows all over again in one of her great Palaces (details), or in the secret garden of a palace, or in a gondola on the Grand Canal, or in Piazza San Marco (or in front of Venice’s greatest church, the Basilica di San Marco)!
Afterwards you will receive a special marriage certificate that may not be legally binding, but which will forever constitute a treasured memory for you.
Types of Symbolic Ceremony
Symbolic Ceremonies, performed by an actor expert in presenting these occasions, fall into three categories, depending upon the role desired:
- Civil ceremony (performed by a Public Official)
- Religious ceremony (performed by a 'Priest')
- Renaissance Ceremony (performed by a 'real' Doge of Venice)
Advantages of Symbolic Ceremony
- If you have already been married in your own country, you may wish to relive the event in a more informal and original way
- It provides an original way to celebrate a wedding anniversary
- It could provide a wonderful surprise for the one you love (if you come to Venice on what appears to be an ordinary holiday and then spring this fantastic surprise on them)
- The financial angle. A civil marriage at Palazzo Cavallo (one, therefore, that is legally binding), requires considerable preparation and expense, not least because in the cases of some nationalities the couple must present themselves personally (for bureaucratic reasons) at their Embassy in Rome or Milan several days beforehand. Thus it may be easier to have a simple civil ceremony at home before celebrating the event there with a wide circle of family and friends and then come to Venice for a symbolic service with only those closest to you – or just the two of you.
