Ceremony
Choosing the right way to say “I do” in Italy
The wedding ceremony typically lasts around 30 minutes, creating an intimate and meaningful moment for couples and their guests. After the ceremony, couples can celebrate their new beginning with a toast and enjoy time together while capturing group photos set against the rolling Umbrian hills and the timeless landscape surrounding Assisi.
At Castello di Petrata, couples have complete flexibility when choosing the type of ceremony that best reflects their vision and values.
​
Ceremony Options
Symbolic, religious, or civil ceremonies
Couples may choose between:
a symbolic ceremony held on site, in our panoramic gardens overlooking the Umbrian countryside
a religious ceremony celebrated in one of the historic and beautifully preserved churches of Assisi
a civil ceremony at the Municipality of Assisi, located in the heart of the city
For religious ceremonies, we can connect couples with an experienced local priest who regularly assists international couples. The preparation and documentation process is handled by a trusted external professional who specializes in religious weddings for foreign couples, ensuring clarity and support throughout the process. This service is separate from our in-house wedding planning, as it requires specific expertise.
​
A Ceremony Designed Around Your Story
Every ceremony is thoughtfully designed to feel personal, authentic, and meaningful. From the choice of location to the flow of the moment, each detail is planned to reflect the couple’s love story and create a natural, emotional beginning to the wedding celebration.
Whether intimate or formal, symbolic or religious, your ceremony at Castello di Petrata marks the start of an unforgettable destination wedding experience in Italy.
