Included in €3700 (the cost can be reduced for a symbolic ceremony):
1. The only venue allowed for civil weddings in Taormina is Palazzo dei Duchi di Santo Stefano The ceremony can be held indoors or outdoors, in front of the palace façade, in the last case, an additional rental of chairs and an officiant’s table are needed, as well as microphones. For the weddings with no guests or just with a few of them it is possible to use a secluded garden of the Palace (see the second wedding in the portfolio), standing, without chairs.
The venue/town hall fee for 2026 is €1200 for weekdays and €1600 for weekends. The fee is not included in the package and should be paid separately to the town hall IBAN. 2027 fees will be released in January 2027.

3. Wedding hairstyle and makeup by local English speaking stylists.
4. Paperwork, including assistance with correct documentation collection according to the rules of your country of residence and/or citizenship. UK citizens’ documentation requirements can be consulted here plus the town hall will require originals of your certificates of birth, apostilled and translated into Italian. I will provide you with the apostille for the ready bilingual marriage certificate that will legalise your civil wedding back to your country. I will personally assist you with the marriage banns signing in the town hall a few days before the ceremony (mandatory by Italian law).
