How much does a wedding in Tuscany cost in 2026-2027?
A complete guide to costs, vendors, and real wedding budgets in Tuscany
Planning a destination wedding in Tuscany is a dream for many couples — rolling hills, centuries-old villas, olive trees, great wine, and incredible food.
But the big question always comes quickly:
How much does a wedding in Tuscany cost in 2026-2027?
Well… the honest answer is: it depends.
Every destination wedding is unique, and several key factors influence the total price. Below, I break down the main cost drivers, smart ways to optimize your budget, and real case studies from our recent weddings in Tuscany.
What Impacts the Cost of a Wedding in Tuscany?
-
The Venue (Your Biggest Cost)
The venue is where most of your budget will go. Prices vary depending on:
- Time of year:
May to September is peak season — beautiful weather, high demand, higher prices.
April and October are more affordable options. - Day of the week:
Weekdays often have significantly lower rental fees than weekends. - Accommodation on-site:
Many foreign couples prefer villas with rooms and a pool so all guests can stay together. This increases venue cost but creates an unforgettable multi-day experience.
-
Catering (Based on Number of Guests)
The more guests you invite, the higher your catering bill.
For 2026-2027, expect:
- €140–€200+ per guest for wedding dinner + drinks
(depending on menu style, wine selection, open bar, etc.)
This is usually the second-largest expense.
-
Multi-Day Celebrations
Most international couples plan 2 or 3 days of events:
- Welcome dinner
- Wedding day
- Pool party or brunch
Booking a villa with accommodation becomes a practical and beautiful choice.
Tip:
If guests contribute to their accommodation — very common for destination weddings — it helps you stay within budget more easily.
-
All the Other Wedding Vendors
These are additional categories to consider:
- Wedding Planner
- Photographer & videographer
- Florist and décor
- Live musicians & DJ
- Celebrant
- Makeup artist & hairstylist
- Lighting & sound
- Printed materials (menus, signage…)
- Music tax
How to Manage Your Budget Wisely
A key step is identifying your non-negotiables as a couple. Ask yourselves:
- What matters MOST to us?
Music? Food & wine? Flowers? Photography? Venue luxury?
Once you know your priorities, you can adjust the rest.
Example:
If you dream of an unforgettable party with sax + DJ and premium wines, you might choose simpler floral arrangements — or the opposite.
We help you balance everything so your total budget fits comfortably.
