Civil Ceremony Venues in Rome

Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi (meaning Ancient Odescalchi Stables) were built at the end of the 19th century in a position adjacent to Lake Bracciano, for the interest and passion that Prince Livio I Odescalchi had for the noble activity of the horse breeding. His main intention was to improve the equine breed, so he focused the activity of the Stables in the breeding of thoroughbred breeds. Today the entire structure has been completely renovated and it is used as a facility for all kinds of events, made unforgettable by the natural setting of a centuries-old wood a few meters from the shores of Lake Bracciano.

Inside the Stables, there are three large halls connected to each other by a game of arches: they allow events to be held even in autumn and winter and can seating up to 500 people.
The large and well-kept garden that has water as its redundant theme, thanks to the two fountains and the stream full of plants, offers guests colorful blooms throughout the year and is the perfect setting to celebrate official civil wedding ceremonies.

An alternative for the celebration of the ceremony to the open and panoramic part of the garden, is a more intimate and reserved area, sheltered by trees. Obviously, there is also the possibility of using one of the three internal halls if you prefer it or if it is necessary.

Casacocò is located in Manziana, near Lake Bracciano, Bosco Macchia Grande and the Monterano Regional Nature Reserve.
It is completely surrounded by a vast and well-kept park that includes olive trees, oaks, laurels, camellias, wisteria, aromatic plants and, among many other plants, a romantic rose garden with over 600 roses.

The facility is organized to manage the authentic civil ceremony both outdoors and indoors, in both cases the goal is to live it harmoniously with nature.
As for the exteriors, Casacocò makes the park available to you in its entirety: depending on the seasons and the time when the ceremony will be celebrated, one corner will be preferable rather than another; moreover, if necessary, it is possible to use a tensile structure to cover the ceremony, anywhere in the park you choose to celebrate it.
In colder seasons or in the case of really prohibitive weather conditions, you can use the main building, designed according to the canons of the most modern bio-architecture, which has large windows and wooden structures.

For the reception it is possible to use the large outdoor space, covered by the Big Tent, in the Square of the Olive Trees, or inside the Salacocò, a wide hall characterized by large windows overlooking the park.

When we think of Casale 500 (meaning Farmhouse 500) we immediately think of the wedding style of the Country Chic Wedding and the elegant Apulian farmhouses where events are celebrated as important as marriage. Attention to every detail, cleanliness, impeccable organization and elegance make this renovated old farmhouse a reference point for Country Chic Weddings on the outskirts of Rome.
We can say that the current owners and managers uphold the name of the Princes of Torlonia, once owners of this facility, which in the 1700s was used as a hunting lodge.

The official civil ceremony is celebrated outside the high walls that surround the farmhouse building, in a large space that will also be reused later in the day. This area is surrounded by several rows of centuries-old olive trees, another element that recalls typical landscape of Puglia.
Inside the walls, however, there is a perimeter courtyard used to serve buffets, a "double" reception room that can accommodate up to 250 people, a garden and a vegetable garden.

Spacious and tastefully furnished rooms are available to the newlyweds, in order to allow them to prepare themselves directly on location.

Casale Anio Novus takes its name from the Roman aqueduct, the Anio Novus, adjacent to the structure of the farmhouse itself. Immersed in the green of the Roman countryside, its area of over 5 hectares also includes a suggestive bio-lake, which can be the backdrop to your official civil ceremony. There are obviously other solutions, such as setting up the ceremony area right near the aqueduct. On the opposite side from the bio-lake there is a wood, which completes the liveliness of the setting available for your wedding.

There are also several indoor rooms, renovated in a style that is both rustic and modern, which can accommodate up to 250 guests.

The construction of the Castellina de Miremont (Castellina means Little Castle) dates back to the 15th century on behalf of the Savelli counts, who used it as a hunting lodge. Over the centuries it had several owners and has not undergone major changes in the structure, except obviously interventions related to its conservation. For lovers of that historical period, it is still possible to admire the original frescoes and sacred images.
The Castellina de Miremont is located in the Roman hills north of the Eternal City and is completely surrounded by greenery, first by a well-kept park and then by unspoiled nature.

Right in the park and in nature it is possible to celebrate the official civil ceremony, in the presence of ancient trees, in a romantic clearing used for this purpose.

I think that the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano needs no introduction: famous all over the world (also for Tom Cruise wedding in 2006), it has been a very important building since its construction, which took place at the end of the 15th century. Since that period of the late Middle Ages, the Castle has been a spectator of many historical events and has gone through history not without consequences: numerous changes have in fact been made to the structure and furnishings over the centuries.
Those who fall in love with the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano cannot choose any other location for their wedding: they also fall in love with the history that this place exudes and know perfectly well that the place will live up to the immortality of theirs love.

For the celebration of the official civil ceremony, the Castle reserves the beautiful Giardino del Granaio (Garden of the Granary) with its view of Lake Bracciano and under the imposing towers that overlook it.
In the event of unfavorable weather conditions or during the winter season, the Castle offers the Antico Granaio (Ancient Granary) as a place for the celebration of the ceremony.

There is no shortage of other numerous outdoor or indoor spaces where you can plan the various phases of your wedding: the elegant Secret Garden with its breathtaking view of Lake Bracciano, the Court of Honor , romantic and majestic at the same time, with its Renaissance Loggia, the elegant and refined Halls of the Noble Floor.

Parco dei Cimini is located on the slopes of Monte Cimino, near the Natural Reserve of Lake Vico, at an altitude of 760m a.s.l. It is therefore undoubtedly an area totally immersed in nature, among pines, hazelnuts and beeches.
The vision that animates the Park managers could only be the love for nature and this affects all the activities of this accommodation facility. In fact, we find attention to local or even self-produced ingredients used in the dishes of the internal restaurant, a bio-lake – an artificial lake perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment – the presence of a raptors center and even an Astronomical Center with an observatory and planetarium with 60 seats!

There are several solutions to celebrate the official civil ceremony:

• in front of the bio-lake having Monte Cimino in the background, which hosts a wonderful beech forest that we often use for portraits of the newlyweds;
• inside the pine forest, for those wishing to create a real wedding in the woods;
• sheltered by a pagoda, semi-open and built to integrate itself between fields and trees;
• in a totally closed environment, to be used in the case of winter weddings or an alternative plan if the weather turns for the worst.

The reception hall is very warm and welcoming, it can accommodate up to 350 people and, having large windows, offers a splendid panorama towards the surrounding park and nature.
Some rooms are available for the couple getting ready for the Ceremony and a overnight stay.

Tenuta La Tacita (Meaning La Tacita Estate) is located north of Rome. Its extension of 130 hectares and the presence of over 800 different types of plants derive from the fact that it was originally a farm. In reality, the production of characteristic products of the territory such as oil, wine and truffles continues today and has never stopped.

There are three areas available at Tenuta La Tacita for the official civil ceremony:

• the Hall of Crystals, modern and elegant, characterized by the presence of crystal chandeliers that drop from the top of light wooden beams and a precious cherry root table;
• in the presence of the Grande Quercia (meaning Big Oak), outdoor on a meadow surrounded by the spectacle of the Lazio hills;

Close to Trevignano Romano, although within the territory of the Municipality of Nepi, and located halfway between the lakes of Bracciano and Martignano, Tenuta di Ripolo (meaning Ripolo Estate) was a property of the Odescalchi princes, who in the 17th century they used it as a hunting lodge. An imposing restoration has transformed the ruins of that time into today's marvelous residence, structured on different levels, both elegant and imposing.

Since Tenuta di Ripolo is very large and has a large amount of covered spaces, there is really plenty of choice in deciding where to celebrate the official wedding ceremony. Preferring outdoor spaces, we recommend the large amphitheater with a centenary oak tree in the center or the rosemary park.

Villa Clodia, today in the territory of the Municipality of Manziana, was built in the seventeenth century by the Corte degli Anguillara, from which it was used as a hunting lodge. Since only the foundations of the original structure are preserved, careful renovation work was necessary to restore the magnificence to this building which had already seen its rebirth in the period of the late 19th and early 20th century. The reference architectural styles that can be admired today are in fact Art Noveau and Liberty.

It is possible to set the official civil ceremony in one of the four available areas:
