What to choose: an official wedding in Florence or a symbolic ceremony? For an official wedding in Italy, you must obtain a Nulla Osta, or document from the nearest Russian consulate verifying the absence of obstacles to marriage. To obtain this certificate, you must assemble a package of important documents and send them to the consulate no later than one and a half months before the wedding.
If you are short on time or unable to fulfill the requirements of an official wedding, you can still hold your ceremony at the Palazzo Vecchio in the city center. The event halls in this area are not designed for a large number of guests, but are perfect for intimate ceremonies. The luxurious Red Hall, for example seats 40 people, and Lorenzo Hall, 50. A symbolic wedding in Florence does not require additional documents, so we often advise our couples to consider this option.
