Marry Me in Sicily

Marry Me in Sicily: luxury destination weddings in Sicily

Marry Me in Sicily is a destination wedding planner specialising in luxury celebrations in Sicily, aimed at English- and Italian-speaking couples regardless of their country of residence. The team works bilingually and biculturally: one of its leads resides in the UK and the other in Sicily, which allows them to serve clients in both languages and manage every detail of the celebration on the ground.

The company presents itself as a family team made up of an aunt and her niece, Carmelina (Lina) and Sabina (Bina), who have been organising destination weddings on the island since 2010. According to their own track record, they have accumulated more than one hundred weddings, from romantic elopements to grand celebrations, and they maintain established relationships with local suppliers and venues.

A team split between the UK and Sicily

Lina, of Sicilian descent and raised in the UK, is a native English speaker and acts as the main point of contact for couples: she guides enquiries, defines the vision for the wedding and handles the paperwork. Sabina lives permanently in Sicily and serves as the on-the-ground lead; she has experience as an event and party organiser, and coordinates suppliers, venues, catering, flowers, entertainment and photography. In addition, Sabina is a celebrant and translator: she can translate civil ceremonies and officiate symbolic ceremonies in English and Italian.

Planning packages

The company structures its services into four packages that can be adapted to different levels of involvement:

• Information and virtual assistance: for couples who wish to organise their own Sicilian wedding with expert guidance. It includes a private consultation by phone or in person, a personalised planning guide with venue and supplier recommendations, guidance on legal documentation, support with bookings and contracts, and ongoing virtual support.
• On-the-day coordination: hands-on support during the final month and on the wedding day. It covers coordination with all suppliers, a detailed schedule for the day, coordination of the ceremony and reception, final preparations the day before, supplier management and, optionally, an English-speaking celebrant service.
• Legal documentation: for intimate weddings and elopements, civil or religious, with step-by-step management of the paperwork, booking an interpreter for declarations and ceremonies, booking and communication with the town hall, and arranging witnesses.
• Full planning and management: the signature service, which covers everything from the first idea to the end of the celebration. It comprises complete planning, sourcing a venue for the ceremony and reception, supplier selection, contracts and schedule, management of documentation and translation, coordination of events and transport, and full management on the wedding day.

Venue visits are offered on request and are included for full-service clients.

Venues and settings it works with

The company states that it has access to exclusive venues and private residences in Sicily, many of them not open to the public, and selects each one according to its own criteria. The types of location it describes are:

• Historic palazzos: centuries-old aristocratic residences in Palermo, Noto and other areas of Sicily, with cool ornate ceilings and stately courtyards.
• Taormina and the east coast: elevated private terraces with panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, for ceremonies with sea views.
• Vineyard estates: properties on Etna, in Marsala and inland, surrounded by olive groves and gardens.
• Private villas: exclusive villas and rural estates in Noto, Syracuse and Ragusa, for intimate celebrations.

Types of celebration and scope

The service covers romantic elopements, intimate gatherings and large destination weddings. The company states that it can organise civil, religious or symbolic ceremonies and that it supports couples in planning from abroad, with an English-speaking contact in the UK and a planner residing in Sicily. Its contact form includes guest ranges from an intimate elopement to more than one hundred people.
