Alessia Tedone Weddings is a celebrant service based in Rome and travelling right across Italy, from Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast to Puglia, Lake Como and the Dolomites.

Happiness is the stated mood here, and after more than ten years of ceremonies Alessia and her team have got good at producing it: warmth, laughter and a touch of Italian charm, alongside the precision the legal side requires. Each ceremony is treated as its own celebration rather than a variation on a format, and couples can include a personal ritual if they want one. Her partner Marco, in life and in work, officiates for couples who'd prefer a male celebrant.

We love them for couples who want a ceremony that feels joyful rather than solemn, in whichever corner of Italy they're marrying.

Good to know: the team also covers legal paperwork assistance, interpreting and same-sex ceremonies.
