The guide to a legal wedding in Sicily for British couples

How a legal wedding in Sicily works: where you can marry, what it costs, and what to do in what order.

Inside:

  • Where you can legally marry: what makes a place a casa comunale, and why a venue advertising civil ceremonies is not proof.
  • What it costs: the comune's fee for the ceremony against the wedding as a whole, with bands from the two of you to a hundred guests.
  • What to decide and when, and the mistakes that are expensive to make early.
  • The questions couples ask: witnesses, the interpreter, short notice, same-sex couples, and whether the marriage is recognised at home.
