A classic serenade to get the party started

An excellent way to incorporate your culture or your destination's traditions is through music! This couple opted for a timeless and classic serenade of a full live band (including accordion, trumpet, and tambourine) - dressed to the nines in suspenders and bow ties.

Luxury Wedding Sicily created an absolutely elegant and luxurious reception for the couple, that served as a great way to fuse their cultures. White lines, antique style chairs, and cascading greenery served as a timeless backdrop for the bold and colorful cuisine the couple offered their guests. Their family and friends were even welcomed to their seats by individual favors of the local Italian favorite, limoncello, as chic and yummy wedding favors!
