Your wedding in Modica, on the steps of the Duomo di San Giorgio and the scent of chocolate
Fiocchidiriso designs tailor-made weddings in the heart of south-eastern Sicily since 2006. Say yes I do to your perfect day, in the city UNESCO has named a World Heritage Site.
Why get married in Modica
Modica climbs across two levels, Modica Alta and Modica Bassa, carved into the Iblean rock and crowned by the Duomo di San Giorgio, which overlooks the city from the top of its dramatic monumental staircase — one of the most photographed views in all of baroque Sicily. It’s also known as the “chocolate city”: the Aztec-derived cold-processing method behind Modica’s IGP-protected chocolate turns a visit here into an experience for the senses, not just the eyes.
With Fiocchidiriso you have a local wedding planner — based right here in south-eastern Sicily — who knows every church, every historic residence and every step of the local paperwork, so all you have to enjoy is the beautiful part: your day.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the best time of year to get married in Modica?
High season runs from May to September, with warm weather and long days. If you prefer softer light and milder temperatures, spring and early autumn are equally beautiful choices.
How far in advance should we book?

Can we take photos on the Duomo di San Giorgio staircase?
Yes, the Duomo’s staircase is one of the most beloved backdrops for wedding photography. We help you plan timing and any permits needed to make the most of it, away from the busiest hours.
