Welcome to The Legal Wedding Planner

We guide you through every step of the legal process for your civil wedding in Italy: from obtaining the Nulla Osta required under Italian law — which, for U.S. citizens, is fulfilled through a sworn affidavit executed at the U.S. Consulate — to completing the Atto Notorio before the Italian Court, and handling the required legalizations at the Prefettura.

Since each country follows different rules and international conventions, we provide tailored legal assistance based on your specific citizenship. This includes dedicated support for American citizens getting married in Italy, one of the most frequent and carefully regulated cases we handle.

Thanks to our direct coordination with Italian Town Halls, Prefettura offices, and Courts, we streamline the entire procedure so you can legally marry in Italy within a realistic travel timeframe.

We also ensure that your Italian marriage certificate will be fully valid and legally recognized in your home country. Many couples ask whether a marriage celebrated in Italy is valid in the United States, and we guide you through the legal steps required to ensure full recognition abroad, giving you complete peace of mind.

What Our Clients Say

The wedding service provided by Alessandro was absolutely perfect! They organized the ceremony without any mistakes or issues, always keeping us updated and feeling secure. The process was very smooth and the planners were available on WhatsApp all the time. They guided us through the preparations with lots of care, providing us with details along the way. On our wedding day they were there to help us with the final steps and assist with the final details!

We are really grateful for the help from Alessandro for managing our civil union in Rome. As a couple residing in Singapore, where same-gender marriages are not recognized, we had to jump through a number of hoops to get together the necessary documentation. Alessandro provided clear informations on the entire procedures. As non-residents in Italy, we had to get a lot of helps from Alessandro to gather the prerequisites before we eventually fly to Rome. We completed the civil union in October, and are now back in Singapore living our happily ever.

Alessandro and his team were so fundamental for my husband and I to get married here in Italy. Since my hubby is in the military, dates kept changing and Alessandro did a wonderful job in this stressful situation. Andrzej and I wouldn’t be married without his legal help!

Alessandro’s service is above and beyond! We had some difficulties arranging appointments and getting all the right documents for our marriage in Italy ourselves as Australians. From the moment we made contact through to the execution of documents, his whole team have made the process stress free and comfortable as foreigners. I would have no problem recommending the Legal Wedding Planner again and again, not only to Aussie's, but to anyone who wants peace of mind that it will be taken care of! Alessandro is so genuine and legitimately saved us from our marriage not being official and legal. Grazie mille

Alessandro is a unicorn in the Italian wedding planning industry. He’s a lawyer and runs a wedding planning company. If you’re interested in getting married in Italy and need to navigate the amazing amounts of bureaucracy, you need to get in touch with them early. We tried 15 different avenues to get our paperwork in order and only Alessandro knew what we needed and got it done. We are now legally married (we from the USA) in Italy!

Alessandro made our dream of getting married in Italy come true. We had no idea how to handle the legal paperwork and were lost on where to start. He was always there to help us and answer our questions. We are truly grateful for the support and hospitality he has shown.

Alessandro helped me and my now wife’s dreams come true. We had a difficult situation of different nationalities and last minutes decisions to get married on our upcoming trip to Italy. Even in the limited amount of time we had and with the difficulties we encountered Alessandro never stopped helping us, never stopped looking for solutions and always kept us informed. To anyone reading this that may be concerned about trusting a stranger on the internet I could not be happier with the service I received. I didn’t feel like I was dealing with a business, I felt like I was dealing with a friend that was committed to helping me and my wife achieve our dream.

Alessandro is absolutely phenomenal! He responded to both my email and texts right away, giving me incredibly helpful, correct and reliable information about the legalities of getting married in Italy as an American (to a German). My process was very confusing to navigate, but because of his support, I can breathe easy. I 100% recommend Alessandro and his team's services for anyone getting married abroad, to reduce the stress and be able to enjoy your wedding planning process! He is also fluent in English and very professional, something that can be hard to find among Italian wedding vendors.
Amanda & Adam
Alessandro and his Legal Wedding Planner team were terrific to work with. We are Canadian and planned our Italian civil wedding ceremony with less than three months lead time. With Alessandro's help, it all came together beautifully. He is very knowledgeable about all the Italian requirements and quickly made things happen, patiently working around our travel schedule to book a site, interpreter, witnesses and even flowers. We had complete confidence in Alessandro and highly recommend the Legal Wedding Planner as a civil wedding resource.

I worked with Alessandro's team for my wedding's legal arrangements in Italy, which posed unique challenges due to Brexit and our international setup. They tailored the contract to fit our needs perfectly and handled all the details with exceptional professionalism. Their proactive approach meant they addressed every issue before I even asked. Their availability on WhatsApp made the process informal and stress-free, providing us with reliable support. Overall, their thoroughness and understanding made wedding planning much smoother. I highly recommend their personalized legal services, as they made our special day far less stressful.
