If you’ve always dreamed of saying “I do” in Italy, surrounded by rolling vineyards, sunlit coastlines, and centuries-old villas, you’re not alone. Italy is one of the most romantic destinations in the world for weddings. And the good news? It’s more affordable than you might think.
At The Wedding Travel Company, we’re dedicated to helping couples create the perfect Italian wedding with no stress and no hidden costs.
We’ve rounded up our favourite affordable wedding venues in Italy, perfect for every couple and every budget. Whether you’re dreaming of a Tuscan villa, a beachfront celebration, or a lakeside retreat, your perfect Italian wedding starts here.
On the world-famous Amalfi Coast, pretty Positano weddings are a dream destination for couples looking for charm, romance, and variety.
Civil ceremonies can take place at the Positano Town Hall, offering a simple yet scenic setting. Catholic couples can exchange vows at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, an iconic landmark with Byzantine roots and breathtaking interiors.
For couples who love both sea views and city energy, a Sorrento or Naples wedding is ideal.
Sorrento’s coastal cliffs and lemon-scented streets provide an elegant yet affordable backdrop, while nearby Naples adds a touch of authentic Italian vibrancy.
Civil ceremonies can take place at the Cloisters of Saint Francis, a 14th-century monastery surrounded by arches and flowers, or at the Museo Correale, nestled among lemon and orange groves. Afterward, host your reception at Castore, a charming hilltop venue with stunning sunsets and views of Capri.
From seaside terraces to elegant villas, you’ll find plenty of venues for a budget-friendly wedding style that capture the best of Southern Italy’s charm, plus, the food and wine are simply unbeatable..
If you’re picturing your wedding surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, and golden sunsets, Tuscany is your perfect match.
The region offers some of the most affordable villa wedding venues in Italy, especially in the countryside around Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence. Couples can choose from romantic locations like Castello di Montauto, perched atop a hill with panoramic views, Villa il Pozzo, a family-owned villa set on 60 hectares of vineyards, or Valle di Badia, a fairytale hamlet perfect for intimate ceremonies.
Whether you choose a rustic farmhouse, a historic villa, or a castle, Tuscany’s timeless scenery and romantic atmosphere make it an unbeatable location for budget Italian weddings.
Venice is the ultimate city of love and it’s surprisingly possible to plan a wedding in Venice without sacrificing glamour.
One standout venue is the Ca’ Sagredo Hotel, a 15th-century palace turned 5-star venue, with ornate interiors and views over the Grand Canal. It’s officially recognised as a historical monument, perfect for couples who want grandeur at an affordable price. For more of a unique experience, you can opt for a wedding on a Gondola to soak in the views around the city.
Since Venice doubles as a honeymoon destination, you can save even more by combining your wedding and honeymoon in one unforgettable city.
If tranquil views and outdoor adventures are your style, Lake Garda weddings offer a peaceful and picturesque setting. Set against the foothills of the Alps, it’s home to several affordable venues, including Malcesine Castle, a 13th-century fortress with panoramic lake views and a romantic inner courtyard, and Torri del Benaco, where you can marry at the castle tower.
For a lakeside reception, the elegant Ristorante Treccan caters to up to 120 guests with fine Italian dining and stunning views. With hiking, cycling, and boat trips nearby, Lake Garda weddings are perfect for couples looking to blend nature, elegance, and affordability.
Located just north of Milan, Lake Como is a serene and stylish choice for couples who love romance and tranquility. Civil ceremonies can be held at the Bellagio Town Hall, offering a charming lakeside backdrop. For your reception, consider Villa Aura del Lago, an 18th-century villa with a private waterfront, or Agriturismo Tre Terre, a rustic farmhouse surrounded by lush hills — both providing beautiful settings at affordable prices.
With elegant villas, historic buildings, and stunning natural scenery, Lake Como weddings offer the perfect mix of sophistication and budget-friendly options. It’s a destination that feels exclusive without the exclusive price tag.
