How to build a wedding for 120 guests

Let’s get you that Big Fat Italian Wedding! Larger weddings are all about energy, but with more people to organise comes higher spends, and certainly increased pressure to have everything nailed.

We know how to plan big weddings and have prepared a handy breakdown just for you.


Everyone loves a caveat……the prices included are here to guide you based on real prices from real weddings planned by our sister company Wiskow & White. Please bear in mind each budget line can easily be a lot more, or a little less but these are 100% realistic.

Area: Tuscany

Venue: Tenuta di Monaciano / Borgo Corsignano

Venue budget: 24,000-60,000 euro

Lower – higher budget: 100,000 – 180,000 euro

Top tips for large weddings:

  • Most venues won’t have an internal wet weather option large enough, so an external supplier will need to be brought in to supply a tent / marquee

  • Many venues, even when advertised can’t comfortably host 100-120 guests. Consider spaces, the flow between the elements of the day, even toilet facilities!

  • Having a wedding of this size does require the expertise of a full planner
