Elopement and Intimate Wedding in Sicily
Your dreams become party
When you decide to get married in Sicily, a thousand thoughts rush in your head, especially if you are dreaming of an elopement or an intimate wedding in Sicily.
Where will I start? Where will I get married exactly?
Maybe you have never visited Sicily, or maybe your family is from a small town in Sicily but you have visited it only once.
So you try to organise something, because you think “Organising an elopement or an intimate wedding in Sicily will be easy”. So you look for a venue, ask for a quote, but they never answer or they barely speak English. And if this is the beginning, you can imagine the rest! Here, the fear that something will go wrong that day begins!
So, imagine a scenario where you are calm because with your wedding planners Irene and Eleonora you have worked for a year towards this day, everything has been planned in detail and neither you nor your family members are stressed. In a whole year you have never felt the necessity to get on a plane and check if everything was going okay.
Our experience on the job has led us to avoid the problems known to those in the sector (but not to the spouses), to relieve you of last minute anxieties and above all to find compromises between suppliers, spouses and guests’ expectations. We mainly work with couples who want to enjoy their wedding day with a small number of friends and relatives. In fact, our specialities are elopement wedding in Sicily and Venice, and intimate wedding in Sicily (up to 50 guests).
Why should you organise an elopement or an intimate wedding in Sicily?
First of all: Sicily is biggest region in Italy and offers lots of options for weddings. Countrysides, seaside, mountain (yes!), baroque villas, art and history…
Ok, but why an elopement or an intimate wedding in Sicily? To be honest, our experience speaks: when you have too many people to invite everything gets more complicated.
But you know who will really matter that day? You and your partner. No tables to be arranged for hundreds of people, no hotels for your guests, no stress because everybody needs help in a new country with a different language… Just you and your beloved one. And if you care a lot, also a small group of family and friends.
In our experience, the most beautiful weddings have been: a small wedding in Sicily with 40 guests and an elopement wedding in Sicily only with our lovely couple.

Just some love stories...
Jacopo & Karin
September 7th, 2024 - Palermo, Sicily
What do you do when the guy who asks for help is your best friend’s brother, and you’ve known each other for 20 years? You do your job and you do it with double the effort and love! The story of Jacopo and Karin is a meeting of two cultures, his Italian and her Peruvian, with a specific request: to always be able to mediate between their more modern tastes and the more traditional requests of mamma Rita! Furthermore, organizing a wedding with just 50 guests was, as always, exciting and makes you rediscover the true meaning of intimacy.
The result was nothing other than the 3 key words that we had inserted in their moodboard: Nature – Love – Family.
Anastasiia & Filipe
December 7th, 2023 - Palermo, Sicily
Suddenly, like like a love at first sight. This is how Anastasiia’s request arrived in October ’23. She had written to us from Vancouver to organise her symbolic elopement wedding in Palermo. After a month and a half of intense preparations and videocalls with a very uncomfortable time zone, our beautiful spouses have arrived in Palermo. And the best was yet to come…
Matthew & Meaghan
September 2nd, 2022 - Segesta, Sicily
Meaghan arrived from Canada to rediscover her family’s origins, together with her husband Matthew, also of Italian origin.
The journey they traveled together meant that their wedding was a union between Canada and Italy, delicately mixing the different traditions.
For their guests, both Italian and Canadian, it was 3 days of celebration and fun…
Giovanni & Irene
March 12th, 2022 - Venice, Italy
After 9 years together, but far away, Irene and Giovanni decided to get married in his region, giving life to an unconventional but absolutely elegant wedding.
Among the notes of Etta James and Louis Armstrong, their guests were also able to enjoy not only a fairytale wedding, but also 2 days as tourists in Venice…
Rosa & Fernando
July 14th, 2022 - Cefalù, Sicily
Combining Italian and Mexican traditions might seem simple, but it’s not at all when the groom decides not to bring any of his customs!
And so Rosa and Fernando’s wedding had a distinct Sicilian flavour, in the splendid setting provided by the city of Cefalù, where Rosa’s parents had also married years earlier.
The time zone difference did not stop our 360° organization, thus making the wedding magical for the spouses, their guests and for us too…
Vincenzo & Edyta
June 17th, 2022 - Bagheria, Sicily
A love story born in London between an Italian boy and a Polish girl. Sober, elegant and lovers of beauty.
Our spouses decided to rely on us to coordinate their wedding day and make sure that their decisions were implemented, especially their request for confidentiality.
Their wedding was the emblem of the elegance of the most authentic Sicily, set between the Cappella Palatina in Palermo and Villa Palagonia in Bagheria.
It was also an unexpected wedding for us: although we could only communicate with the bride in English and in no way with her family, a special bond was created between us…
