What is a symbolic wedding ceremony?

A symbolic wedding ceremony is a non-religious ceremony performed by a wedding celebrant. It’s a regular ceremony between two people who love each other, which includes the exchange of vows and rings but it’s not legally recognized. As the name suggests, it’s a symbol, a gesture that two people want to do to celebrate their love without respecting any religious or civil rules. In other words, a symbolic wedding ceremony is the total expression of the bride and the groom’s personalities and wishes.

There are many ways to organize a symbolic wedding ceremony, as you’ll see from the examples we listed below. Ready to discover how your symbolic wedding in Venice could be like?
