NOTE:  Prices & costs can depend on a number of factors – e.g., date, day of week, time of day, # of attendees, location within the venue.  Our wedding planning/management app automatically uses the correct price for all plans & budgets. NOTE:  venues/vendors can only provide us with prices for the current year as they don't typically update their pricing for future years  (e.g., accommodations)  until the end of the current year's season (e.g., typically in November/December) for the next  season (e.g., 2024, etc).  As such, this system essentially uses the current year's pricing on the future years so you can get an idea.  However, when the future venue/vendor prices are updated on the site for that particular year, plans affected with be updated.
   
STEP 1 -  Click venue  - this gives a list of venue types, e.g., Seaside weddings in Italy, Affordable Wedding, etc.  Select type of interest.

STEP 2  - From that list, select any venue of interest  - make sure it fits the number of attendees (under Venue Capacities), the # of days you want to book, etc. 

STEP 3  -  Click 

STEP 4 - Scroll to "QUICK ESTIMATE" 

STEP 5 -   Click "VIEW COSTS"  of any package that most resembles what you are looking for.

STEP 6 - If the displayed plan/budget is acceptable, click "CUSTOMIZE".  This asks for some basic information about your wedding in Italy, so you likely will need to make some changes to the Plan that comes up that is specific for you (e.g., wedding date) . Based on that information, the system puts detailed costs and schedule on-line for you.  These can be quickly changed by you or our designated planner to better match your requirements prior to booking – changes can be made by you if you are computer savvy - for example, you can change/add/delete services, add new events (e.g., rehearsal dinner, BBQ), change times/dates, etc.  while you are still figuring out what you would like before you book.  However,  If you are unsure if you want  to book a particular service (e.g., photographer, music), you can always add them later, if they are available.
