Please kindly include a letter with all the information regarding name of the Wedding Hall, date of marriage and our contacting numbers. We will give you an example.
Please do not send the original passports, only copies.
The British Consulate in Italy will release the final NULLA OSTA and will send it directly to the Wedding Hall or one of our coordinators will pick it up.
Sometimes a declaration stating that you're free to marry is requested by the Wedding Hall 1 or 2 days prior the wedding.
The procedure may slightly vary depending on the Consulate so please check with your Wedding Planner before proceeding.
