My fiance (soon to be wife) and I will be honeymooning in Italy this July. Part of our trip (4 days) is in Venice. I was thinking about possibly having a very small and quick, symbolic wedding in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista. I chose this church because my/our last name is Evangelista, the pictures I have seen are gorgeous, and I think it would be an incredible experience.
Has anyone ever done something like this? If so, about how much are we looking to spend? It will be only the 2 of us, church ceremony only, no reception needed. Can you do this during weekends or evenings?
And how do I go about organizing this? Should I call the church directly, or is there a way to communicate online? I am sure there are other things I haven't thought of, and I know I am cutting it really close to reserve something like this. So I'm not sure if this is even a realistic idea, but any personal experiences and/or suggestions/info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the advice!
