The Best Month to Get Married in Italy

Planning a destination wedding in Italy? First off: congratulations. You're officially entering your Roman holiday era. Second: choosing when to get married is just as important as where.

Italy is breathtaking all year long — but trust us, not all months are created equal when it comes to weather, budget, and overall wedding magic. Whether you're dreaming of golden vineyards or breezy coastal ceremonies, this guide breaks down the best months to get married in Italy based on what matters most.

April to June: Italy in Full Bloom

Spring in Italy is a chef’s kiss kind of season. Think: mild temps, blooming gardens, and venues just opening for the season.

• Weather: 18–25°C (64–77°F) and mostly sunny

• Crowds: Moderate — just before peak tourist season

• Budget: Mid to high, but better value than summer

• Ideal for: Garden weddings, al fresco receptions, dreamy floral backdrops

Local tip: Late May to early June is that sweet spot where peonies are still in bloom and the tourist crush hasn’t quite hit yet.

July & August: Peak Summer, Peak Everything

This is Italian summer at full volume — sunny, social, and straight out of a postcard. But also…hot.

• Weather: 30–38°C (86–100°F), especially in southern Italy

• Crowds: High — it’s Italy’s national holiday period too

• Budget: $$$ — venues, flights, and vendors are in peak demand

• Ideal for: Glamorous Amalfi weddings, seaside venues, lakeside luxury

Some Italian vendors (especially in the South) close in mid-August for Ferragosto. Always check availability early. This is also peak wedding season.

September & October: Golden Hour Everything

Ask any local: this is when Italy feels like a secret. Warm days, cozy evenings, and the smell of wine harvests in the air.

• Weather: 22–28°C (71–82°F) in September, cooler in October

• Crowds: Lighter, especially in later months

• Budget: Lower than summer, but still competitive

• Ideal for: Rustic vineyard weddings, countryside villas, romantic photo ops

Venue scouting tip: Many venues offer slight discounts in October — and you'll still get amazing sunny days.

November to March: Off-Season Perks & Cozy Vibes

Fewer tourists, lower costs, and a completely different kind of romance. Think candlelit dinners, fireplaces, and winter city chic.

• Weather: Varies by region. North = cool & crisp, South = milder

• Crowds: Low — your guests will thank you

• Budget: $ — venues and vendors often have off-season rates

• Ideal for: Elopements, intimate city weddings, bold & moody vibes

Reality check: Some countryside venues close for the winter. But city locations (Rome, Florence, Venice) are open and stunning, at a fraction of the cost.
