Four Seasons Firenze Wedding Cost (2027): Prices & Capacity

Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is two palazzi, the Gherardesca and the del Nero, joined by an 11-acre walled garden in the middle of Florence, with a neoclassical temple, a lawn that frames Brunelleschi's dome, a sculpture garden and, for dinner, the Conventino, a deconsecrated church with an apse and an organ balcony. It is the Florence wedding where the garden is private and the city is outside the gate.

The 2027 Palazzo del Nero arrangement is event-space hire from €20,000 plus 22% VAT a day, €24,400 all in, plus a reception and four-course dinner from €285 a head plus 10% VAT and 10% service, plus a compulsory block of 14 rooms above the ballroom for two weekday or three weekend nights. The Conventino seats 140 at rounds, 100 to 110 with dancing, and the lawns take 200 for dinner outdoors. Music runs to 1 am. Palazzo del Nero is closed for works until March 31, 2027.

This is the garden wedding in the middle of Florence: a ceremony with the Duomo behind you, cocktails among the statues and dinner under the vaults of a former church that is worth choosing on its own merits rather than keeping for the rain. Guests stay in the centre, walk to the gate and spend the days around the wedding in the city with no shuttles.

Eighty to 120 is the size, with the hotel's own 100-to-110 for dinner and dancing the figure to trust. The cost is assembled in layers: the hire, the menu with its tax and service, and the room block, which at a sample €1,500 a night is €63,000 for a weekend and is the biggest single line. It is a working hotel rather than a private villa, so privacy beyond the reserved spaces costs extra, and above 140 the outdoor dinner has no indoor equivalent.

Three layers: a daily event hire, a per-person reception and dinner with VAT and service on top, and a compulsory room block whose rate depends on the dates and room mix. Bar, cake, flowers, production and any restaurant closures are additional.

A worked range for 100 guests over a three-night weekend with the starting hire and menu, bar and cake, a welcome and farewell meal, planner, photography, florals, production, music and transport, plus an illustrative €63,000 room block and city tax. It excludes restaurant closures, extra hire days, a marquee, rooms beyond the 14, flights, attire and the ceremony's municipal fee.

Three numbers that are not the same wedding: 100 to 110 for dinner and dancing in the Conventino, 140 for dinner at rounds, 200 for dinner on a lawn.

Dinner moves into the Conventino, which at 100 to 110 takes dinner and dancing without a turnaround, one of the venue's real strengths. The ceremony and drinks need their own named rooms if the ballroom is already set; the Gherardesca rooms are across the garden and booked separately. Above 140 there is no indoor equivalent for an outdoor dinner, and a marquee would need the hotel's approval and a quote.

One hundred and twenty rooms and suites, 85 in the Gherardesca and 35 in the del Nero, with the required 14 above the ballroom housing about 28. Everyone else takes rooms elsewhere in the hotel or walks from hotels around Borgo Pinti and San Marco. Check-in 3 pm, check-out noon.

The hotel's kitchens serve the reception and dinner from the €285 starting menu, with cake from the pastry team and an open bar, Champagne and late food priced on top; an outside chef or bar is not an established option. The events team arranges flowers, photography and entertainment; an independent planner is worth having for a multi-event weekend. Music runs to 1 am at 85 decibels in agreed locations, so get the dancing started before 11.

Ceremonies on the lawns are symbolic. The legal civil ceremony is at Palazzo Vecchio, where the Sala Rossa fee for non-resident foreign couples is €2,500 and Saturdays are reserved for Florence residents, so a weekday ceremony before a Saturday celebration is the usual format. The Conventino is deconsecrated and the chapel holds four, so Catholic weddings use a Florence church. Non-Italian couples need a Nulla Osta, an Atto Notorio and certified translations; allow 60 to 90 days.

Guests need no coaches in a city they can walk; send the exact wedding entrance, since the hotel has two buildings, and arrange a late car for anyone staying further out.

Late May, June and September for the garden. July and August want a late ceremony and shade on the lawn. April and October suit an indoor-first wedding in the Conventino. No month-by-month discount is published, and the del Nero is closed until the end of March 2027.

Best for: 80 to 120 guests; a private garden in the centre of Florence; a former church for dinner that is a choice, not a fallback; guests exploring the city on foot; Four Seasons service for the weekend.

Things to consider: the 14-room block is the largest line; a working hotel, so privacy costs extra; 140 indoors and nothing larger; the legal ceremony is at Palazzo Vecchio on a weekday; 1 am and 85 decibels; the del Nero is closed until April 2027.

For Four Seasons Firenze, the most useful question is not whether another property has a lower starting hire. It is whether your group is better served by a city hotel with a compulsory room block or an exclusive estate where the entire stay is organized around the wedding.
