PLEASE NOTE:
- Prices, especially for future years, are subject to change - if we have NOT been informed of future year accomodation prices, the system replicates the current year prices - these will be updated when we get informed.
- When prices are updated on the web-site, these changes will be applied to all existing plans.
The purpose of this site is to rapidly and easily give you the exact price for your wedding in Italy. The cost of a wedding depends on the obvious, e.g., the accommodation and services you pick. However, individual prices for these can depend on :
PHASE 1 - enables you to get a very good idea of the specific wedding costs for any specific venue for any date. This enables you to decide if a venue is affordable to you, and if you should add any specific venue to your Favoutites list.
PHASE 2 - This phases enables you to get the exact costs of one or more event plans and compare them. This phase requires you to tell the system, as best as you know (changes prior to contract are easy), more detail about the wedding such as date, arrival & departure dates, # of guests.
Note: The prices given for the current year will in almost ALL cases be exact. However, for future years some vendors may change their prices - accommodation costs are the most likely to change as venues typically change their prices annually. However, importantly, any changes made to your specific plan will also be shown on the web-site - i.e., we cannot apply arbitrary prices changes to your plan (the system only uses prices shown on the site).
PHASE 3 - Once you have accepted the Terms of Agreement for a specific plan, you will be assigned a local wedding planner. If you wish to customize certain items instead of accepting the standard item on the site (e.g., flowers, meals), you will be assigned a local wedding planner who will work with you and the service providers to meet your specific requirements with prices.
