Three starting points for planning your wedding
These are starting points, not fixed packages. We tailor the scope around what you need, then agree one fixed fee in writing before you commit.
Ceremony
You want to marry legally in Sicily, without every dinner and flower arranged. We handle the comune (the local council), the paperwork sequence, the translations (included in our fee), the declaration before the registrar, the interpreter, witnesses where needed, and the ceremony. Where you want them, we arrange the photographer, flowers and chairs.
Ceremony and Celebration
You want the marriage and the celebration in Sicily, without months of comparing venues and suppliers from the UK. We handle the legal marriage and build the celebration around it: a shortlist of reception venues against your brief and budget, negotiation in Italian, menus and terms checked, and the suppliers lined up, from catering to music.
The Whole Wedding
You want to enjoy planning your wedding without becoming its project manager. Full planning: design, budget, suppliers and the day, planned with you and delivered by a team we bring together around your wedding, with one point of contact throughout. Design is led by Doris Cheng, our creative consultant. We have space for one in 2027 and two in 2028.
Your wedding may sit between these. We can include particular pieces of help where you want them: welcome dinners, guest excursions, honeymoon planning, vow renewals, or a scoping visit to shortlisted venues. Everything we will handle is set out in your written quote.
Every wedding we plan includes the legal ceremony in Sicily.
What the ceremony costs
Three things make up the cost of the ceremony, and we keep them apart: the comune's fee, your own UK paperwork, and our fee, which is fixed and quoted in writing.
At the comune's own sites, the castles, cloisters and palazzi on the venues page, the comune's fee is the only charge for the place itself: from free to about €1,600 depending on the town and the day, with most towns nearer the bottom of that range than the top. The fee table has the current figures. At a private venue the comune has authorised, a garden estate or a beach, the comune charges a small ceremony fee and the venue's own hire sits on top, usually the far larger figure. The venue entries on the venues page carry the hire ranges each publishes.
Your own paperwork has fixed government fees: giving notice for the certificate of no impediment is £46.50 each in England and Wales, and an apostille is £45 a document direct from the Legalisation Office, or more through a firm that handles it for you. The sworn declaration is made before a solicitor or notary, whose fee varies from firm to firm. The Italian translations your comune requires are included in our fee.
