That figure is the starting Passalacqua elopement package price; high season, longer stays, or suite upgrades raise the total.
The base package is designed for the couple only. It is sometimes possible to accommodate a very small number of guests, typically up to 8, but this is subject to hotel approval and requires a custom quote to manage the additional logistics.
No, Passalacqua is not licensed for legally binding civil ceremonies. We perform a beautiful symbolic ceremony on-site. If you require a legal wedding, we can add legal paperwork assistance and coordinate the separate civil ceremony at a nearby town hall.
For Passalacqua, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance. The hotel's availability is extremely limited, especially during peak season from May to September.
No. Your elopement provides exclusive use of a specific ceremony location for a set duration. The hotel's restaurants, pool, and other gardens remain open to other resident guests. Complete privacy is only possible with a full hotel buyout, which is a separate and significantly more expensive undertaking.
