While Italy has recognized same-sex civil unions since 2016, the Catholic Church still views marriage as a union between a man and a woman. As a result, finding a priest to officiate a gay wedding in a private villa in Tuscany can be challenging.
However, it is not impossible. Some priests are open to performing same-sex marriages, and there are also celebrants and humanist officiants who are trained to perform secular wedding ceremonies.
It's important to research and find someone who is comfortable and willing to perform your wedding ceremony. Some wedding planners and event coordinators in Tuscany may be able to assist with this process, as they often have connections with local celebrants and officiants.

Your evening, poolside, with cocktails and bubbles, illuminated by gentle warm lighting and the pink-orange skies of a Tuscan sunset.
