For couples who dream of a romantic wedding in an extravagant location, Tuscany has many surprises in store! Here, it's possible to not only get married through a civil ceremony in the municipal halls that are usually housed in important historic buildings, but also in many other original and romantic places. Here are some ideas to surprise guests and make your day even more unforgettable.
What could be more original than an "underground" location? Choosing the Caves of Equi Terme ensures your celebration will take place in a truly unique setting. This karst complex was formed over the course of hundreds of thousands of years due the action of water, and is characterized by beautiful wells, tunnels, halls and underground lakes. It's located in the municipality of Fivizzano, and here you can find information and contacts.
In Tuscany, there are many museums that offer their rooms and allow couples to get married somewhere special, saying their vows among their favourite collections and artworks. From Siena to Livorno passing through Vinci and Massa Marittima, here's a list of options.
Getting married while barefoot on the sand, gazing out at the crystal clear waters, letting the romantic and relaxing atmosphere of the sea be the perfect setting for this special day. In several spots and bathing establishments along the Tuscan coast, it's possible to celebrate civil ceremonies, such as in Lido di Camaiore, at the pier or the Cavalluccio Marino bathing establishment. Lovers of heavenly places who dream of getting married by the sea can make their wishes come true by choosing one of the locations on Elba Island.
For a wedding with a touch of liberty style and well-being, in Montecatini Terme it's possible to celebrate your ceremony in the historic Tettuccio establishment, a large building that can be adapted to any request, perfect for an original and extraordinary choice.
