Taormina is Sicily's most iconic wedding destination, and one of the busiest for live music bookings on FixTheMusic. Perched on a hillside above the ancient Greek theatre, with the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo as its centrepiece venue, Taormina draws couples from across the world for ceremonies overlooking the bay and Mount Etna.
We've facilitated weddings here since 2015, working with bands who know the island's venues, logistics and the specific demands of performing on a hillside. Browse the bands below, watch their performance videos and get free quotes for your big day.

Our most-booked acts for Taormina weddings include Armonia String Quartet, with multiple confirmed ceremonies at the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo, and The Sonics, a Rome-based party band who return to the venue regularly and know its setup requirements well.
The Butterflies, based locally in Sicily, are a popular choice for couples who want to avoid international travel costs while still securing a band with established Timeo experience. Urban Dynamite, a London party band, and Rogues Gallery, based in Palermo, also have confirmed Taormina track records.
Beyond these, many of our mainland Italian acts including Trio Toscano, The Puppets and The Somethings are available to travel to Sicily for the right event.
Taormina weddings on FixTheMusic tend to favour:
Average budgets for Taormina weddings run higher than the Italy-wide average, largely reflecting the additional travel cost of reaching the island.
Couples typically book their Taormina band around 10 months in advance, longer than most other Italian destinations, reflecting how far ahead the best venues and acts are reserved. September and June are the most popular months, with couples generally avoiding the August heat for outdoor ceremonies.
Load-in at hillside venues like the Grand Hotel Timeo requires coordination given Taormina's narrow streets, and bands experienced with the venue will plan for this in advance. Shipping full equipment to Sicily is costly, so many bands travelling from the mainland or UK hire PA systems locally on arrival.
All of our Italian bands have promo videos as well as videos of live events so that you can get an exact idea for how they will perform at your wedding.
Our bands work hard to release regular video updates that are uploaded to their profiles.

You really took it to the next level and it was better than we could have ever dreamt!
Hi James, We wanted to write to thank you SO much for making our wedding so amazing!! You really took it to the next level and it was better than we could have ever dreamt! I’m sorry we didn’t get much time to actually chat on the night. But I am quite sure you will be requested back in Malta soon, we have had SO many people asking for your details and saying how great you all were :) Hope you enjoyed your little stay in Malta too! Thank you again, Lisa & Jonas.
I just wanted to pop a note over to say how amazing the band and DJ were
Hi James, I just wanted to pop a note over to say how amazing the band and DJ were. Everyone absolutely loved them and the band really made the night! So much fun. Please pass on my thanks and feedback to the band... we’d have them back in a heartbeat! Thank you for all your help in the arrangements - it went seamlessly. Literally in the office all day, all I’ve heard is how amazing the band were - the guys smashed it! Hannah.
They made our wedding and we could not have asked for more...
Cloud Nine performed an acoustic set during cocktails and a party set after dinner for our wedding at Pateo Alfacinha - they were just perfect! They were fun, they sounded beautiful, they were engaging with the crowd - the band is the single biggest element of our wedding that we have received compliments from people about. If you are in two minds about whether to book them - just do it. They made our wedding and we could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Cloud Nine!
You were all amazing, please pass this on to each member of the band
Hi Mark, just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at both of our events. You were all amazing, please pass this on to each member of the band who played too. Everyone we have spoken to, have all said how professional and great the band were! Thank you for doing the additional final song, that really put the cherry on top of the cake for us! Both singers were absolutely fantastic too. We would definitely consider for the future and would recommend to anyone. Thank you again, Jacob, Sue and Max.
