Civil weddings in Certaldo

Couples who get married in Certaldo experience an authentic medieval atmosphere since the Wedding Hall is located in the medieval walled town on a hill. Lower Certaldo is the modern suburb, a residential and industrial area. The beauty stays on top of the hill, in the medieval part of the town with Etruscan and Roman origins characterized by buildings made of red bricks. This charming upper town can be reached on foot or by cable car anyway we always provide complete info on the upper town, the Old Certaldo, to have everything: accommodations, wedding hall and restaurant on hand.

Every corner in Certaldo also is unique and wonderful for photos, the house of the family of Giovanni Boccaccio which has turned into a museum and library, the little church of Santi Michele e Jacopo and its cloister and finally the Palazzo Pretorio where weddings are celebrated. Photos can be taken on the lovely terraced garden and along a walkway overlooking the ancient town walls and with an amazing view over the green hills of the Val d'Elsa and over San Gimignano, being Certaldo only 10Km far from this spectacular towered town.

Weddings are celebrated in the Palazzo Pretorio, the highest building in town, a medieval building with a picturesque façade decorated with heraldic shields, a court a chapel and even a prison since originally this was a Vicar's Castle. We highly recommend a wedding in Certaldo for its secluded and intimate atmosphere, stunning views and charming setting.
