The extras are the price ranges already published on Kiss Me Italy. The Venice fee comes from the Comune di Venezia costs page and can change; we check it again when we book.

Symbolic or Legal: How It Changes the Cost
All our elopement packages are symbolic ceremonies. There are no documents, no residency rules and no waiting periods.
Many couples sign the legal papers at home and keep Italy for the vows. A legal civil wedding in Italy is possible for foreigners, but it adds documents, translations, a town hall booking and the municipal fee.

- Skip the overnight upgrade. On the Amalfi Coast, Private Marriage Above the Sea costs €2,800 with dinner, or €3,500 with an overnight stay and breakfast.
- Keep it symbolic. A symbolic ceremony avoids municipal fees, translations and document costs. Sign the legal papers at home.
- Look beyond the famous names. Puglia, Umbria and Genoa start at €2,200 to €2,500.
