"How much does a wedding in Tuscany cost?" is the first question almost every couple asks us, and the honest answer is: it depends. Not because we want to avoid the question, but because two weddings in Tuscany can be worlds apart. Here is what really makes the difference, so you can start planning with clear ideas.
What decides the budget
- The number of guests. It affects almost everything else: the venue, the dinner, the tables, the transport.
- The venue and the catering. Together they are often around 70% of the total budget.
- The season. From November to March, Christmas holidays excluded, many venues and suppliers are more flexible, although some close completely in those months.
- How many days you celebrate. A welcome dinner or a farewell brunch can turn a wedding into a weekend, and change the budget.
- Flowers, music, photographer and the rest. Every choice has a range, and we help you put the money where it matters to you.
Costs couples often forget
Transport. Outside the cities there are practically no taxis, and the private drivers you find on the Uber app in Italy are expensive. Transfers for many guests add up quickly: a venue where everyone sleeps, eats and celebrates in the same place, or rental cars, often saves a lot.
The paperwork and the ceremony. A legally binding wedding needs documents that depend on your nationality and on the town where you marry, and sometimes sworn translations and an interpreter. When we plan your whole wedding, the paperwork is always included in our proposal, and for a symbolic ceremony one of our celebrants is almost always included too.
A plan B for rain. Not every venue has an indoor space for your guests. Where it doesn't, renting a marquee can be very expensive, from €3,000 upwards: ask about it before you book the venue.
Accommodation. Villas and hamlets with rooms for your guests are wonderful, but think early about who pays for what.
How we work
We don't sell fixed packages. We always start with a call to understand your plans and your budget, then we send you a written proposal with a clear fee for our work. Suppliers are paid at their own prices: we never add a commission. Read more on how our prices work.
