What does a wedding in Sicilia cost?

We do not publish a total. We publish what each kind of supplier in Sicilia advertises as a starting price, category by category, with the sample size beside each. Adding those medians together would not give a wedding: the categories are in different units — a caterer advertises per head, a photographer per engagement — and a sum of medians is not the median of sums. In Sicilia we can publish median advertised prices for 8 of the 15 supplier categories we track, from 3,379 advertised price bands and 3,378 businesses, gathered 2026-08-06. The other 7 hold fewer than 40 observations each and are listed below with their counts. These are advertised starting prices, not transacted fees, and they are not added into a total.

Why are some supplier categories missing for Sicilia?

They are not missing, they are withheld and listed. A category is published only at 40 observations or more, because below that a median moves by hundreds of euro when one business edits a form. Every withheld category on this page shows the number of observations we actually hold.

Median is the middle advertised band. The typical range is the middle half, a quarter of businesses below and a quarter above. Spread is that range divided by the median, so it is comparable across categories that cost very different amounts: 0.33 is a tight market, 1.40 is one where the entry price means very little. Every figure has its own page with the distribution behind it.

7 of 15 categories are withheld in Sicilia. They are printed rather than dropped because a page that lists only what it can say reads as a claim that nothing else exists. A count below 40 is a fact about our corpus, not about the market in Sicilia.

The one figure this page will not give you

There is no total here, and there is not going to be.

Adding the medians above together would produce a number, and the number would be meaningless in three separate ways. The categories are in different units — a caterer advertises a per-head cover, a photographer a whole engagement, a car hire firm a day — so the sum has no dimension. Each figure rests on a different sample of different businesses, none of whom have ever worked together. And a sum of medians is not the median of sums: half the couples are below the median on one line and above it on the next, so the arithmetic does not describe anybody.

A total for a real wedding needs a date, a guest count and a property. Compose one and every line carries the basis it came from, including the lines where we say we hold no figure.

How crowded Sicilia is

Venues per comune: 2the middle comune in Sicilia
Comuni with one: 40%85 of 211 hold exactly one
Busiest comune: 49Palermo
Venues counted: 833across 211 comuni

85 of the 211 comuni in Sicilia that hold a wedding venue at all hold exactly one, and the busiest, Palermo, holds 49. That gap is the whole argument for looking past the places everyone has already photographed. Wedding venues listed on four public Italian directories, deduplicated into one catalogue and counted by comune. It is a count of what those directories list, not a census of Italy: a comune with one venue here may have five that nobody has listed. No property is named on this page. The national distribution puts Sicilia in context.

Sicilia against another region

How this was gathered

3,379 bands from 3,378 businesses.

Advertised price bands published by suppliers on matrimonio.com, a public Italian wedding directory, read on 2026-08-06. These are starting prices a business chose to advertise, not fees anybody was charged, and no individual listing is reproduced here.

No supplier and no venue is named on this page. Every figure is an aggregate over a category and a region, and the counts beside them are what makes each one checkable without reproducing anybody else's listing.
