Guests. The prices are for the two of you. In most cases you can add a few other guests. You stay on the same package, and the price may slightly increase to cover them. If you’d like more people with you, from about 8 to 30, that’s a small wedding. We put together a quote for each one, and our small wedding in Italy page explains how we plan them.
What’s included. Every package includes the planning, a celebrant, a photographer, hair and makeup and flowers. Each Lake Como package also includes a one-hour private boat tour. Some packages include a night or two at the venue, or a dinner.
The Package Builder. Every venue has its own page, and on each one you’ll find our Package Builder. It shows everything that’s included and the starting price for the two of you. You can add extras, such as a legal ceremony, a videographer, extra photography time or more flowers for the ceremony, and take them off again. The price updates as you go.
When it looks right, send it to us. We’ll email you a full breakdown, and one of our planners will be in touch to ask about your date and talk through your plans.
What isn’t included. Your flights aren’t included. Dinner isn’t included unless your venue’s package already has it, but we arrange dinners for couples all the time, so just tell us if you’d like one. Nights beyond those in your package aren’t included, and neither are the town hall fees for a legal ceremony or the extras you add in the Package Builder.
Symbolic or legal. Most couples have a symbolic ceremony at their venue and complete the legal marriage at home. We can also arrange a legal ceremony in Italy. It needs more paperwork and more time, and the town hall fees are separate.
When to book. Most couples book 6 to 12 months ahead. The venues we work with are popular and book up quickly, but a closer date can still work if the venue is available, so it’s always worth asking. We plan July and August too, with the ceremony in the evening, when it’s cooler.
Booking. If you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll help you book the venue, which confirms your date. We then send our contract and plan the day with you. If you’d like to check a date first, or you’re not sure which venue to choose, send us a message through our contact form.
Anything else. If there’s anything else you’d love to have on the day, just ask. We arrange all sorts of things for couples, and we’ll tell you what’s possible at your venue.
Somewhere else. If you have somewhere else in mind, in Italy or further away, just ask us. We plan elopements in other places too.
