A setting to celebrate your story
Full presentation
Palazzo Biscari: a Baroque wedding venue in Catania
Palazzo Biscari is an aristocratic Baroque palace in the historic centre of Catania. Its richly decorated reception rooms, frescoed ceilings and Rococo details make it an architectural setting for wedding celebrations and private occasions. According to venue information, the main reception rooms cover approximately 500 square metres; this surface area should not be confused with a guaranteed banquet capacity.
Historic rooms and celebrations
Couples can discuss civil or symbolic ceremonies, seated dinners, cocktails and wedding photographs amid the palace interiors. The historic rooms, stairways and architectural features provide distinct settings within the same property. Event arrangements, permitted use of particular rooms, accessibility and seating capacities must be agreed with palace management before booking.
Planning a visit
The entrance is at Via Museo Biscari 10, 95131 Catania. Contact the venue’s event team with the preferred date, expected guest count and intended style of celebration. A site visit helps assess guest circulation, access for catering and suppliers, sound restrictions, available services and indoor options. Request an up-to-date quotation and written terms for setup, music and closing times.

Official reception capacities and practical services
The palace’s official event information lists up to 350 people for receptions and up to 200 for conferences. Separate room capacities are the Salone, 200 guests, Quadreria, 70, and Sala delle Angoliere, 70. Do not add these figures together to infer a single seating configuration. Palazzo Biscari can offer or recommend cloakroom facilities, hosts, stewards, interpreters, reception support, catering, ADSL, amplification, projectors, screens and wireless microphones. The palace does not publish an official fixed wedding hire rate: prices are on request and depend on which rooms are used and for how long. Third-party estimates for similar buildings are not a price list for this venue.
