💶 Budget Considerations
Most of our Tuscany wedding venues offer flexible packages starting from £15,500–£50,000+ for 3 days, depending on guest count, accommodation, and add-ons.
You can decide to:
Cover all accommodations yourself
Split costs with guests
Or let guests book and pay independently
Money Saving Tip:
Consider moving your wedding to the Golden Week - the first week of October - where the weather is warm but the prices have dropped into the ‘off-season’ category!
Consider splitting the bill with your guests - if they pay for their bedrooms it is a huge help
Consider only a 1 or 2-night stay at the wedding venue and find more budget-friendly hotels in Florence or nearby
