A boutique wedding and event planning agency in Sicily, founded in 2005 by Alessandra Bentivoglio and Silvia Tosto, who both came to weddings from the tourism industry.
Alessandra BentivoglioCo-founder and lead wedding plannerWedding Sicily is a boutique planning agency that works only in Sicily, mainly for couples who live abroad. Alessandra Bentivoglio and Silvia Tosto founded it in 2005 and still lead every wedding as co-founders and lead planners. Their office is in Catania, on the eastern side of the island below Mount Etna.
Both founders started in tourism. Alessandra has more than twenty years in events and describes her part as following each couple from the first consultation to the final farewell. Silvia spent years designing travel itineraries planned to the smallest detail before moving into weddings. They are friends first, and a team of planners, designers and coordinators works under them.
“I firmly believe that trust and respect are the foundation of every collaboration; the key to a smooth and conscious planning journey, where every choice reflects the style, the values and personality of those hosting the event.”
Alessandra Bentivoglio, co-founder and lead wedding planner
The weddings their couples write about took place in Taormina, Siracusa, Scopello, on the slopes of Etna and on Panarea in the Aeolian Islands. The agency says it has worked at more than 150 venues and has selected and tested the local suppliers it recommends, from caterers to florists, in the areas where its weddings take place.
Ceremonies cover elopements, vow renewals, civil weddings and church weddings. The planners help couples shape the ceremony script and work with multilingual celebrants, both lay and religious. One couple in Siracusa had a Mehendi evening designed alongside the wedding, and the agency plans multi-day programmes with welcome and farewell events.
Beyond weddings, the founders draw on their travel background to arrange private winery tastings, sunset cruises on a private yacht and cultural tours for guests, and they plan birthdays, anniversaries, private dinners and corporate events under the name Signature Events.
A conversation to hear the couple's ideas, the style they want and the values the day should reflect.
A single design direction for the wedding, built from that conversation and carried through every element.
A shortlist of venues across Sicily to suit the couple's style and budget, then local suppliers the agency has already worked with.
Guidance on each decision with the budget in view, plus the ceremony script, timings and any events in the days around the wedding.
The lead planner and team coordinate the day itself and the events around it, through to the final farewell.
I cannot recommend using Wedding Sicily enough when it comes to having a wedding in Sicily! The team was amazing while helping us plan, and have the wedding of our dreams. While weddings are stressful, they truly helped to make everything easy considering we were 5,000 miles away. It has been two months since our wedding and people still tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and how amazing a time they had. Truly perfection.
