Tommaso Venanzoni, English-speaking wedding celebrant in Italy
About

Hi, I'm Tommaso

I'm an English-speaking wedding celebrant based in Italy, and I design and officiate symbolic ceremonies, elopements and vow renewals for couples from all over the world. I've stood beside dozens of couples on hillsides, vineyards and clifftops, helping them say the words that matter most in a ceremony that's entirely their own.

Experience: Over 100 symbolic ceremonies officiated across Italy since I began, for couples from the US, UK, Australia, Ireland and beyond.

My approach starts with your story: how you met, what you value, the small details only you would think to include. I turn it into a script that sounds like you, delivered with warmth and confidence on the day. Explore the services I offer, or learn how symbolic ceremonies work.

How I Approach It

What guides every ceremony I write

Personal, not templated

Every ceremony is written from scratch after getting to know your story — never a recycled script.

Bilingual by nature

Fluent in English and Italian, so multicultural families and guests all feel included.

Calm on the day

Years of officiating mean the details are handled, so you can just be present.

Working with Couples from Abroad

Working with couples from abroad

Most of the couples I work with are planning from overseas, often juggling time zones, venue visits, and a language they don't speak. I guide you through it calmly. The ceremony takes shape through a discovery call, written notes, and draft scripts we refine together. Nothing is templated. The goal is simple: by the time you stand in front of your guests, the words feel like yours, not mine, and certainly not a generic script. If that sounds like what you need, let's talk.

Where I Learned the Work

Wedding planning runs in the family

I focus on the ceremony itself, but I grew up around the rest of the wedding day. My mother, Francesca, founded Efffetti and taught me the work from the inside: how a destination wedding is planned, how suppliers fit together, how timings move, and how to stay calm when the day changes in real time. If you need full planning rather than ceremony-only support, I recommend Efffetti, a Tuscany destination wedding planner for venue scouting, suppliers, logistics, coordination and the wider planning around the ceremony.
