Your wedding in Syracuse, between Piazza Duomo, Ortigia’s ancient walls and the sea that surrounds them
Fiocchidiriso designs tailor-made weddings in the heart of south-eastern Sicily since 2006. Say yes I do on the island where Greek history, baroque grandeur and the sea meet in a single setting.
Why get married in Syracuse
Ortigia, the ancient heart of Syracuse, holds twenty-five centuries of history within a few footsteps: the Cathedral rises on the Doric columns of a Greek temple once dedicated to Athena, while the Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia, right beside it, houses a masterpiece by Caravaggio. Around them, baroque alleys, the sea-facing Castello Maniace and the Lungomare Alfeo — magical at sunset — complete one of the most cinematic settings in all of Sicily, offering both the charm of history and the beauty of the coast in a single day.
With Fiocchidiriso you have a local wedding planner who knows every church, every palazzo and every step of the paperwork with the Municipality of Syracuse — so all you have to enjoy is the beautiful part: your day.

Ceremony, sorted
We guide you through choosing and booking the Municipality’s rooms for a civil ceremony — such as the Salone Paolo Borsellino or the Sala Verde at Palazzo Vermexio, right on Piazza Duomo — or the church that best fits a religious ceremony.

International guests
Bilingual Italian/English support, logistics for guests travelling from abroad, and a genuine sensibility for multicultural and fusion weddings — an experience we know first-hand.
“Attentive, meticulous, always present, a wonderful listener: every detail of our day came from the heart, not from a catalogue.”
Frequently asked questions
What’s the best time of year to get married in Syracuse?
High season runs from May to September, with warm weather and long days — ideal for pairing an old-town ceremony with a moment along the seafront at sunset. Spring and early autumn remain excellent choices for milder temperatures.
How far in advance should we book?
For high season, we recommend starting to plan at least 12-18 months ahead, especially for the municipal rooms on Piazza Duomo and the most sought-after vendors in Ortigia.
Can we have a civil ceremony right on Piazza Duomo?
Yes, the Municipality of Syracuse offers several rooms at Palazzo Vermexio, right on Piazza Duomo, for civil ceremonies, along with other historic spaces in Ortigia. We help you check availability and handle the paperwork.
Do you speak English for couples getting married from abroad?
Yes, we support Italian and international couples alike, in both Italian and English, from the first consultation through to the wedding day.
