Your symbolic ceremony in Palermo
Symbolic Ceremonies in Palermo and Province
The province of Palermo is one of the richest in the Mediterranean: one thousand years of Arab, Norman, Swabian and Baroque history are layered in a mosaic of unique architecture and landscapes. From the capital with its Arab-Norman palaces listed as UNESCO World Heritage, to the cliffs of Cefalù reflected in the Sicilian Sea, every corner of this land exudes an age-old charm perfect for your ceremony.
I have been celebrating secular ceremonies in this province for years, from historic villas in the city to manor houses overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The most evocative locations where I celebrate:
- Palermo historic centre — the Quattro Canti, the Teatro Massimo, the Palatine Chapel and the Liberty-style villas
- Cefalù — the Norman-Swabian Rock fortress, the UNESCO Duomo and the pebble beach by the sea
- Mondello — the splendid art deco bay between the Tyrrhenian Sea and Monte Pellegrino
- Bagheria — the 18th-century villas of the Sicilian princes among citrus groves and noble history
- Scopello — the historic tuna factory, the sea stacks and the entrance to the Zingaro Nature Reserve
- Terrasini — the sea cliffs and the bay of Castellammare del Golfo
- Ustica — the crystal-clear sea of this volcanic island, Italy's first marine nature reserve
