Be Seen by Australian Couples Planning Their Italian Wedding

At The Italy Wedding Guide, our mission is simple:

To connect beautiful Italian venues with Australian couples who are ready to make their dream destination wedding happen.

This is a huge opportunity, and barely anyone’s tapping into it.

Australian couples spend between €25,000–€50,000 on their weddings, and the venue is always their biggest decision (and expense).

Until now, there hasn’t been a direct, trusted way for Italian venues to reach them.

That’s where we come in.

We’re investing heavily in advertising across 2025–2026 to build a highly engaged audience of Australian couples who are genuinely planning to marry in Italy, not just dreaming about it.

Join now, and your venue will be one of the first featured, getting premium visibility while the early rates are still low.
