Wedding ceremony (not legally valid) and speechwriting
The service for an involving and personal wedding celebration, in the language you prefer
I tell your story
Not everyone is looking for a legally-valid wedding: maybe you and your partner have visited Italy before and fell in love with the country, and are simply looking for a ceremony celebrating your marriage without needing a certificate.
You can leave it up to me to create the text for your ceremony, in Italian, English, French, or German. Shall we get started?
-
Interview with the couple, and some close friends and relatives.
-
Drafting a speech in the language needed.
-
The wedding ceremony, for the agreed period.
-
The wedding ceremony in the language or languages chosen.
-
Wedding interpreting before or after the ceremony.
-
Interpreter’s oath taken on a different day from the wedding ceremony.
-
Text translating.
-
Any hours worked beyond those agreed.
-
Transport, if your venue is outside Modena.
-
Accommodation if required.
-
Sound system hire, if needed.
This service is right for you if:
- You want a ceremony that’s about you as a couple with no standard phrases or wording.
- You want to get married in Italy but you don’t need it to be a legally-valid wedding.
- You want an intimate, unique wedding for you and your guests.
- You want to get married in Italy but you don’t want to deal with Italian bureaucracy.
- You’ve been dreaming of a symbolic ceremony.
This service isn’t right for you if:
- You want a religious or civil wedding.
- You want your Italian wedding to be recognized abroad.
- You prefer having control over the speech made during the ceremony.
- You want to write the ceremony personally.
How it works
Contact:
get in touch with me using the contact form. Let me know the details of your wedding, and the services you think you might need.
Quote:
I’ll send you a quote setting out the services I think best suit your needs, any additional services, conditions, and payment arrangements.
Confirmation and payment:
email me confirming you want to take on my services and pay the agreed fee to book my services on the date you want, under the terms we’ve agreed. Then it’s official — I’ll be there with you!
Setting out the timeline:
you, your wedding planner, and I will set timelines for the various services. Having a plan to follow means we’ll be able to tackle any issues that come up.
Speechwriting:
after talking with your nearest and dearest, I’ll get to work writing a text telling everyone at your wedding about your own personal love story, leading up to your own “I do”.
Editing
once the first draft is done, I’ll revise the text to make sure that everything flows, gets the right emotions across, and there are no typos or twisted sentences. This is the final stage, when I get all the last-minute details in place before the big day.
Pre-event update:
a few days before the wedding, I’ll email you or your wedding planner, if there is one, to confirm the details of the service and finalize any changes to the plan.
Testing, testing, one, two, one, two!
It’s your big day! I’ll be beside you at the altar, ready to take you, your partner and your guests to the “I do”.

Thank you so much for the translation! The wedding was really nice and the time since then as well! 🙂
Thank you again for your professional translation and support, we have received today the remaining documents. All the best!
How much it costs
Wedding ceremony and speechwriting fees vary depending on how long the ceremony is, the language needed, and your location. To give you an idea, services start from €1,000.00 plus VAT, but if you buy other services for your wedding at the same time, you’ll get a discount on the total. Get in touch and let me know about your dream so I can give you a quote that covers everything you need.
