Your dream Wedding in Sicily:
beach, great location, history... all you need is love!

For your wedding, do something original and different than the usual honeymoon cruise, and choose other destinations than the classic Australia, New Zealand, Maldives or Mexico: discover the beauty of Sicily, a surprising "continent" that can offer many different things at the same time. Art, sea, warm climate, tasty cuisine, colors and fragrant scents of fruits and flowers, evocative sunsets, romantic walks on appealing beaches, astonishing and peaceful nature and landscapes, and many more peculiarities make this island a real Paradise!

You can enjoy the sun and the sea, or take a walk around Mount Etna, or visit inspiring cities such as Siracusa, one of the most important cities in the ancient Greek world (surely the most charming), or the Taormina resort, or also Ragusa, Modica, Noto… and many more. There are so many places worth a visit here, that you surely won’t have the time to get bored! And all your photographs will be just spectacular and will truly communicate all the magic of this island. If you want to come and check for yourselves if all this is real, we will be happy to host you here for a weekend well before the date of your wedding: you’ll have the chance to relax, have a look at all the services we offered during previous events, and especially to visit the wonderful settings we recommend, from the magnificent cathedrals, to the luxurious palaces or to the outdoor locations.

Every lifestyle will be satisfied, and every dream can come true! We are ready to listen to your ideas, even the “wildest” ones, and to do all that’s possible to realize them. There are, in fact, majestic churches everywhere or intimate chapels, and thousands of perfect locations to get married with any kind of ceremony, from religious to symbolic, that can take place in private houses, castles, palaces and mansions. You'll be spoiled for choice for your wedding or for any other type of ceremony or special occasion, such as anniversaries, birthdays, baptisms, communions, confirmations or banquets in general.

We know there are so many details to take care of, once you have chosen your location in Sicily: the banquet, the decoration, the photographer to capture your precious moments, and the right music to set the atmosphere, but also many more particulars that have to be considered, but that can create unnecessary hustle for you. Then, why don’t you rely on an experienced wedding planner?

More about Eventiamo Wedding Planner

Sicily is truly magical: the ancient culture, but also the wonderful climate, the sea, the remarkable and evocative sunsets, the fragrant scent of orange and lemon that fills the air while taking a romantic walk on the beach, the colorful flowers, the nature and the peaceful and quiet spots you can find… Unrivalled in any season!
Think of how suggestive your photographs and your reminiscences would be! The island is the “heart of the Mediterranean Sea”: it is just in the middle of many different cultures, and it represents a bridge between two continents which are so close and yet so far; it has been under the influence of great dominations such as Greek, Roman, Spanish and Arab among others, and it truly has taken the best from them all. Also the landscapes are various and will satisfy every taste, even the most demanding. Apart from the transparent and clear blue sea, in fact, the Oriental coast is dominated by massive Mount Etna, the great volcano, and a walk around its foothills and the nearby ancient ruins is an unforgettable experience.

There are also many other places not-to-be-missed within a close range. Siracuse, for example, was one of the most important and beautiful city in the Greek world, and it has maintained intact all of its charm. While wondering around the Greek theatre just by the sea, you will breathe the ancient culture that will pervade you completely.
Taormina, which is an astonishingly beautiful resort, is very close by and easy to reach with private or public transport and so are the lovely Baroque towns of Ragusa, Modica and Noto.
The options are various, and you will not have the time to get bored!

Sicily has enchanted writers, painters, poets, and artists of any kind, who have dedicated their best masterpieces to its beauty. Goethe wrote in 1787: "To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything". Quite a remark, isn’t it? And it give you the sense of the experience you are about to leave. The feeling pervading Sicily has always had a great appeal on English and American citizens: because they are particularly perceptive of the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings and they like to immerge into its history and art. But also other Europeans, and Italians as well, come to Sicily to enjoy its freshness and the warmth of its people. It is the perfect place to relax, live adventures, take wonderful pictures, grow own personal culture, play sports… and, of course, to celebrate important events such as your wedding!

All of these wonders will be reunited together to offer you a real Paradise that could become the setting for the special day of your vows, in just a few more steps!
Think about it for a while: just the name, Sicily, evokes wonderful atmospheres, enchanting landscapes that would make the perfect location for your wedding!
And there is room for every dream to be fulfilled just the way you want it, and right with your personal style!

What about a romantic celebration outdoor by the sea? The bride walking towards her husband-to-be on the sand, maybe with a sunset scenario behind her…
Or a more traditional one in a majestic old cathedral, with centuries and centuries of enthralling history to tell and its bells ringing festively for you, in a perfect Italian style?
Or an original ceremony in one of the magnificent palaces in Palermo or Taormina?
And for the most daring of you, passionate about colossal movies, what about a Hollywood-style wedding, recreating the Godfather setting, in the very same castle? Yes, it is possible: the Coppola saga was filmed here, and all the places are still where they were.

The ideas to astonish guests and to be creative are unlimited, but if you are a very reserved and romantic couple, and want to keep it simple yet magical, what about a very intimate wedding in a small, lovely chapel, instead? Just the two of you and a bunch of dear ones… There are so many things to think about in order to make that day just perfect: book the location, the wedding banquet, the flowers and the bride’s bouquet, the photographers, the videos of the most beautiful moments, the wedding cake, the decorations such as the centerpieces… even the car, the hairdresser and the make-up artist are details not to be neglected!

The menu will have to be chosen carefully: Sicilian cuisine offers a wide range of dishes to pick from, and we will advice you on the freshest ingredients of the season.
And when we think about the after ceremony, we cannot forget the proper music: it will create the right atmosphere for you and your guests!
You prefer classic music or jazz, or new age? You want someone to take care of all the dances during reception?
No problem at all: we are in touch with the best musicians and DJs in Sicily!

Then, why not rely on highly-professional consultants who know all the best venues around, the most reliable professionals and thus will take all concerns off your shoulders?
We will listen carefully to your needs and your dreams and then we can help you make them true with our experience: we will guide you in the choice of the perfect place and the perfect setting, we can manage a pleasant stay for all your guests at discounted rates, we can help you through all the international paperwork, and even organize your honeymoon, if you wish so!

We can arrange all this for you in some very easy steps, and we will do it by using all our experience. You will feel truly looked after and pampered and all you’ll have to think about is to live happily ever after!

Legal assistance and paperwork

The most boring and challenging part of organizing a wedding is getting all the paperwork, the international permits, the booking of everything done.
It could be quite difficult to organize everything from abroad! Luckily, in Italy there is no need to be a resident to get married and there is no long waiting queue to get all needed authorizations. This is definitely a good news! Why not enhancing this advantage by avoiding as many worries as possible?
In fact, you still would need to arrive at least three or four days in advance, in order to be sure that everything is just fine, and that all documents are ready and have been sent and approved by local authorities, and all the right steps have been taken in the proper way. A professional and experienced wedding planner can make sure everything is in order for you and get a lot of the hustle off of you, avoiding all unnecessary stress, and giving you more time to take care of the pleasant details, such as the choice of the perfect wedding dress for the bride, and the tuxedo for the groom, for example!

Also, it doesn’t have to be a Roman Catholic wedding but we can arrange any kind of religious and non-religious services: it will follow your own beliefs, and it will be exactly as you want it to be. We can manage Protestant, Jewish and symbolic weddings in all east Sicily and the locations can vary from the ancient site of ruins, to the outskirts of the Mount Etna, to yachts sailing off the coast or in fancy five-star hotels, to old palaces.

Eventiamo is an exclusive Wedding & Event Planner. We are a private destination services provider, offering simple, luxurious custom-designed event services. We take care primarily of weddings, but we organize any other type of celebrations, such as 50th anniversary weddings, baptisms, confirmation, black wedding, silver wedding, pink wedding, blue wedding… any event that is important for you. Eventiamo mostly operates on the East side of Sicily, especially in the Taormina-Etna area and in the cities of Giarre, Riposto, Acireale, Catania and, if needed, Noto and Siracuse. We are not a tour operator, we are private and thus we dedicate a special attention and time to each of our customers. We are located in GIARRE, in the Taormina-Etna district, which is a stunning location with a glamorous life-style. Together with our experienced resident wedding coordinator we will customize your wedding to suit your own individual requirements: we can arrange as much or as little of the day as you wish. There are, however, some compulsory details and elements which are included in our standard wedding package. Please check the details on the wedding packages dedicated section of this website.

Please contact us at to discuss your specific requests, and explain us your expectations and your dreams, we will be happy to listen to your ideas, suggest you solutions and help you out realizing your wishes. We will make sure that your wedding day is perfect in every possible way, just as we would wish our own wedding day to be.

Services

Planning: Your wedding will be an incredible experience, if all you have to worry about is packing your suitcases! Being locally based, our planning will take care of all important tasks like choosing the venue or finding the right suppliers, making everything very easy and straight forward. A wedding director will also make sure that during the Wedding everything runs smoothly and without held ups.

Beauty Services, Hairstyling and make up: On your Wedding you want to be as radiant and beautiful as ever. We suggest you to avoid doing things yourself: leave it to an expert hairstylist and make-up artist. They will take care of mothers and bridesmaids as well, in the comfort of a hotel room or in a modern beauty salon.

Professional Photographer for wedding Photo and Video: Wedding photos help your memories last for a lifetime; our photographers have a passion for beautiful photography: their style is elegant, with minimal posing and their philosophy is to capture what happens on the day without intruding. Contact us to receive a detailed price list on the available packages. After all of the effort of organizing a wedding abroad, having your guests at a superb party, you want to have it preserved in photographs or on video. During your meeting with the photographer prior to the wedding, you will explain him what kind of photos or videos you have in mind. On the other hand, if you don't have an ideal picture style, his expertise will be at your disposal to analyze different options. To make your choice easier, we have a whole series of packages you can choose from; these are arranged according to how much time and how many pictures you want. Once more, the style and atmosphere of the pictures will be only yours.

Flowers, decorations and Music: These are very important elements to create a special atmosphere during both the ceremony and the reception. Your choice of flowers can be simple and elegant or colorful and innovative: it all depends on your personality and the chosen theme. We will help the bride and the groom to achieve a dramatic décor. Music is an important key element: the sound track of your wedding. From the moment your guests arrive at the wedding venue, music will set the atmosphere for a special day: sacred, classical, jazz or contemporary. We work only with professional musicians: violinists, harpists, guitarists, sopranos, pop singers and deejays. There cannot be a wedding without flowers and the floral traditions in Italy are very strong. If you particularly want to have flowers that are out of season, don’t worry: their importation can easily be arranged. On the other hand, if you would prefer to have decorations of fruit or vegetables in season or simply greenery, that can, of course, be arranged just as easily. We can arrange whatever kind of music you want. You may want to organize music during the actual ceremony and/or during the reception and for dancing. You can choose absolutely anything you want from hard rock to opera, from a string quartet to a jazz band. A wedding has very diverse moments: the sacredness of the ceremony, the informality of the cocktail reception and the festiveness of the dancing, all need an appropriate kind of background.

Wedding Confetti and Favors: This thoughtful memento is your personal way to thank your guests: an Italian “bomboniera” consists of sugar coated almonds wrapped in tulle together with a small gift. We propose hand embroidered sachets like in the Sicilian tradition, personalized jams, cigars and wine bottles.

Wedding Car Service and Luxury Transport: On your wedding day, why not treat yourselves to a luxurious ride to the ceremony? Whether you wish to arrive in a stylish chauffer-driven jaguar, a stretch limousine or horse-drawn carriage, we can help. We will also look after your guests with a transfer service from the accommodation to the wedding venue with private cars or a minibus.

Catering, Reception and The Rehearsal Dinner: We will organize for you an exclusive and unique party, an event to make this important day last for ever in your memory: whether you wish to have an intimate candlelight dinner just for the two of you or an eight-course wedding banquet. We know that the reception is as important as the ceremony itself. The Rehearsal Dinner is the most intimate gathering of all pre-wedding related festivities. Often set in a more relaxed atmosphere, this exhilarating dinner party allows you to mingle among your closest family and friends in a more personal way. We think that a tasting of Sicily’s famous wines would perfectly set the mood. Food is very important for Italians, and Sicilians are famous throughout the world for their cuisine. The type and range of dishes will be agreed beforehand. You must only remember that in Italy we only use fresh ingredients which are in season and, therefore, at their freshest, and for this we can advise you at all times. Once a menu has been agreed, you do not have to worry: you will be given an opportunity to taste what will be offered to your guests well before the Great Day and to make whatever modifications you think necessary. In Italy, food is not a minor element. Sicily offers some of the best catering firms in Italy, and in Europe. The only problem will be limiting your choices to a reasonable number of dishes! As opposed to what we mentioned for flowers, the caterers we work with only prepare foods using seasonal ingredients that can be found in their freshest form. This will insure taste, quality and quantity. Flexibility is again the key word. We will adapt the menus according not only to your gastronomic tastes, but also to your guests’ needs.Once you have chosen the menu, the couple will have a "dress rehearsal" of the food and wine at the catering atelier to make sure that it is meeting your requirements.

Country chic: A wedding on the slopes of Etna, the biggest active volcano in Europe, to rekindle the flames of passion. A reception in an established wine estate, to give your guests a taste of history, charm and Sicilian wines.
A romantic honeymoon in a farmhouse or in a “baglio”, a traditional fortified Sicilian country residence which is full of appeal. A relaxed style, surrounded by the Mediterranean countryside and refined pleasure of “dolce far niente”.

Sea dream: The beauty of the Mediterranean Sea as the backdrop to your wedding: a pure bliss. Sicily is surrounded by deep blue water that evokes tropical transparencies and by long, white and sandy beaches that are a true sea-lover dream. Imagine your wedding in a cathedral on the sea; a party on the beach to be cuddled by the rhythm of the waves. Your romantic honeymoon in an exclusive resort on an island, away from it all.

Luxury experience: For a memorable and unique wedding, created, planned and crafted by the Sicilian specialists in evocative moments. The key to discover the secret heart of Sicily, with its fine pleasures and the ancient art of aristocratic living, is in your hands. A collection of high-class services and exclusive hospitality: a candlelit champagne dinner in a scented Mediterranean garden; a private villa on the sea only for you and your guests, a yacht that awaits to offer you magic emotions in the intimate exclusiveness of the Sicilian islands.

Ancient emotions: Sicily is the ideal setting for those couples who love to be surrounded by history. Ancient Greek temples and Norman cathedrals; the mystery of arabesque architecture and the opulence of Sicilian Baroque; the shabby chic atmosphere of old fishermen’s villages; endless scenarios for the grand event that is your wedding. Imagine the ceremony in a sumptuous church or a baroque town hall; or in a noble palace where the music and the splendor of the Bourbon court echoes. Precious silks and velvets, an antique four poster bed: the perfect hideaway for a honeymoon in an historic location.

Special Offer Symbolic Wedding

For those who do not want or cannot celebrate a formal civil or religious wedding ceremony with all the legal documentation involved, a symbolic ceremony is the ideal alternative. Symbolic ceremonies are celebrated by an English speaking officer and can take place anywhere you like without restrictions, for any couple and for any reason as they are not legally binding, but purely for pleasure. There is no documentation required for a symbolic wedding and it is the perfect choice for those who have already had a civil ceremony either in Italy or in their country of origin. A symbolic ceremony for example, could consist of anything from a simple exchange of rings and vows in an unusual setting, to the renewal of vows in a stunning panoramic location for a special anniversary celebration or a full scale wedding in a private garden, villa or castle. The choice is yours and as little or as many of the services involved in a formal civil or church wedding can be applied.

There are some wonderful panoramic locations here in Sicily such as luxuriant gardens, historical buildings and private villas that are the perfect settings for this type of ceremony where you can also hold your reception banquet afterwards. Some locations offer accommodation as well as catered reception facilities, permitting you to stay, and have your ceremony and your wedding reception all in the same establishment. Various hotels in Taormina also have special facilities to accommodate this type of celebration.

• Symbolic ceremony celebrated in a garden, villa, castle or park.
• Booking of the wedding location
• The person who officiates the ceremony, who acts as wedding coordinator
• Symbolic certificate written by hand on parchment
• Bouquet for the bride, boutonniere for the groom
• Agency fees
Please contact us for pricing and information.

Notes

We ask you to please note that your personal and valid documents will be required at least 8 weeks prior to your wedding day.
Moreover, since only one wedding per day can be performed in Taormina, early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Since for bureaucratic reasons religious weddings are easier to organize if a civil service has already been performed, we recommend you to start with a civil ceremony followed immediately by the religious or symbolic one. To do so, you will be able to choose among hundreds of gorgeous and evocative towns and wedding halls, and the event could very well be performed by the Mayor of the town of your choice.
