Your wedding
Estimated SIAE licence fee
€272.58
The tariffs
| Type of music | Up to 200 guests | Over 200 guests |
|---|---|---|
| Live music only | €272.58 | €412.63 |
| Recorded music (DJ, playlist, karaoke), with or without live | €384.73 | €582.75 |
These are SIAE's 2026 wedding tariffs, including VAT. SIAE's private-events portal (Portale Feste Private) calculates the exact amount when you apply, and also takes a refundable deposit. Music forming part of a religious ceremony in church doesn't need a licence.
Next steps
- The licence must be in the name of one of the couple, and the applicant needs an Italian tax code (codice fiscale).
- Apply through SIAE's Portale Feste Private, or at an SIAE office, a few weeks before the wedding. The portal also takes a refundable deposit.
- Keep a copy on your phone and give one to your planner or venue manager on the day.
