What the official part of an Italian wedding costs

Direct answer

There is no such thing as “the cost of getting married in Italy,” and no Italian government source publishes one. What exists instead is a set of separate, small official costs, each set by a different office, each published on its own page, with its own date. Comune ceremony-venue fees alone run from free to several thousand euro depending on the town, the room and the day of the week. Consular document fees are small flat charges. Apostille and legalization fees vary by office and, in two cases we checked, aren’t published at all.

This guide lists every official figure we could confirm, attributed to the specific comune, consulate or Procura and the date it was published. Where a figure isn’t published, we say so by name rather than estimate one. Nothing here covers vendors, venue rental for a reception, wedding planners or suppliers. That pricing doesn’t exist in comparable form on any government page, so it isn’t in scope for this guide.

Where the published figures stand

Eleven of these twelve comuni are now fully re-verified. Positano is the one exception, with no current figure we could confirm. Use this map to see where each comune stands before reading its table.

Municipal civil-wedding fee data

This is a row-by-row version of the municipal figures in this guide. Each amount stays attached to the venue, audience and calendar condition published by the comune. It is not a price comparison or an estimate of a wedding’s total cost.

Method

Version 2026-09-01; all municipal sources were rechecked on 1 September 2026. The dataset includes civil-ceremony fees, supplements, reductions and explicit publication states from the municipal sources linked in each table. It excludes private supplier charges, reception costs and any computed cross-comune range, average or ranking. Send corrections to info@plan-a-wedding.com.

Free means the source explicitly publishes a zero-fee condition. Not stated means the relevant source cell or field is blank. No current figure means we found no current published tariff that could responsibly be carried forward. These states are not interchangeable.

Document and consular fees

Before the comune will confirm a date, a non-resident couple may need several nationality-specific documents. Most British nationals living in the UK use a register-office CNI and a separate bilingual statutory declaration. A US applicant normally needs both an Italian atto notorio and a separate Dichiarazione Giurata before a US consular officer in Italy. Our guides to the UK route and US route cover the documents; this section covers only the fee evidence we could verify.

There is no single published total for the UK route. GOV.UK’s consular-fee schedule, last updated 9 April 2025, lists £50 for a CNI issued at a British consular post. That figure applies to the Embassy branch, not automatically to the current route for most British nationals living in the UK, which involves a UK register office, a notary, apostilles and translation. Those separate charges are not one consular fee and are not combined here.

For the US route, we are not publishing a combined figure. The former US Embassy Italy marriage page that earlier municipal sources linked to now returns 404, so we cannot stand behind its old notarial price. The atto notorio and the US consular declaration are separate appointments with different authorities; ask each office for its current charge rather than treating one quote as the whole document cost.

Apostille and legalization fees

Once you have an Italian marriage certificate, an apostille may be needed to use it outside Italy. Which office issues it depends on what the document is: the marriage certificate itself is an administrative act signed by the civil registrar, so its apostille comes from the Prefettura; a sworn translation of it is treated as a notarial-type act, so its apostille comes from a Procura della Repubblica (Procura di Ravenna; Procura di Parma). Our guide on certificate recognition covers that split in more detail; this section covers only the fees.

We have a dated, directly stated fee for exactly one Prefettura: as of a 27 June 2024 revision, Prefettura Milano charges one €16 revenue stamp per document, processed by appointment (Ministero dell’Interno, Prefettura di Milano). Other prefetture set their own arrangements, and we have not found a published fee for any other one.

Procura fees are where the picture gets genuinely inconsistent, and we’re stating that plainly instead of smoothing it into one number:

• Procura della Repubblica di Tempio Pausania‘s own page states that apostille and legalization cost one €16 revenue stamp per document, paid on collection. The page carries no visible update date. Fee charged
• Procura della Repubblica di Forlì‘s page states the opposite: “La legalizzazione/apostille è gratuita e non prevede il pagamento di diritti”: legalization and apostille are free, with no fee charged at all. This page is also undated. No fee
• Procura di Roma and Procura di Ravenna both publish an apostille/legalization service page, and neither states a fee at all. Not stated

That’s three different answers from three different Procure to what looks like the same question: one office charges a stamp fee, one is explicitly free, and two simply don’t say. We checked this because it’s exactly the kind of figure a couple would reasonably expect to be standardised nationally, and it isn’t. Confirm directly with the specific Procura handling your document instead of assuming any of the figures above will apply to yours.

Why there is no average: what actually drives the variance

No Italian government body publishes an average or typical wedding-cost figure, and we checked deliberately for one. ISTAT’s official release on Italian marriages, published 19 January 2026, reports counts, rates, ages, citizenship and regional breakdowns, with nothing about cost in either direction. We did not find an equivalent figure from governo.it, the Ministero del Turismo, or any other Italian government source. Figures that circulate online claiming an “average cost of an Italian wedding” trace back to private wedding-industry market reports, not government data. We have not repeated any of them here: none of them tie to a specific comune, office and date, which is the bar every figure in this guide meets.

The table above shows what actually varies costs, and it isn’t a simple “which comune costs more” ranking:

• Residency. Whether either spouse is resident in the comune (or, in some cases, in Italy at all) is the single biggest swing factor. Rome, Verona, Cortona and San Gimignano all price residents at zero or a steep discount against non-residents.
• Which room or venue. Municipal room and venue tariffs can differ markedly within the same comune. Rome’s fee is set by residency and day of the week instead, not by which of its designated venues you book.
• Day of the week or season. Amalfi’s lowest and highest fees belong to different venues, not one venue across the calendar: the cheapest is a winter rate at the Ex Convento dei Cappuccini, the priciest a weekend rate at the Arsenale della Repubblica. Verona waives its fee entirely for residents at one venue, and only on Thursdays.

A couple choosing a non-resident Saturday wedding in a comune’s most requested room is comparing apples to oranges against a resident weekday booking in a plain municipal office. That holds even within the same comune, let alone across the twelve above. That’s why a single blended number would misrepresent the situation instead of simplifying it.

Before you rely on this

Every figure above is attributed to a specific comune, consulate or Procura and a specific date, and that date matters: tariffs are reviewed and changed, sometimes annually, and a page we read in 2025 or 2026 may not reflect the current fee by the time you read this. Confirm the live figure with the office itself before you rely on it for a budget, particularly for the comuni above whose tariff pages are PDFs or ordinances rather than a page updated in the last year.

The Procura fee lines in particular carry no visible publication date on the source pages themselves, which is why we’ve flagged them as undated instead of presenting them with the same confidence as a dated comune tariff. Undated does not mean wrong. It means we can’t tell you how current it is, so treat it as a starting point for a direct inquiry, not a locked-in number.

This guide covers only the official fees: comune ceremony-venue charges, consular document fees, and apostille or legalization fees, not vendor or venue-rental pricing (see the direct answer above for why). For the rest of the legal picture, see our guides on which ceremonies are legally binding in Italy, where you can legally marry, what your comune requires before your wedding date, what happens to your certificate afterwards, and what your guests need to enter Italy. For how these fees fit into your overall wedding budget, see how a destination wedding changes your budget for the categories a local wedding doesn’t have.

US citizens should keep the atto notorio, US consular declaration and Prefettura steps as separate lines; use our US-citizen process Guide before treating a quoted fee as a total.

British nationals should use our UK-citizen process Guide to identify the applicable CNI, declaration, apostille and translation steps before treating a quoted fee as a total.
