Introduction

Organising a private event in Agrigento means offering your guests an experience that combines millennial history, breathtaking landscapes e customised fittings. Imagine a party in a garden overlooking the Valley of the Temples at sunset, or a reception in an eighteenth-century palace in the heart of the historic centre: each element will contribute to creating a unique atmosphere, capable of excitement and surprise. With the support of Chiara Eventsyou can count on a team of professionals to take care of every step - from concept design to logistical management - guaranteeing a flawless result in line with your wishes.

Why choose Agrigento

Agrigento is much more than just a Sicilian city: it is a veritable 'open-air museum' in which the Valley of the Temples dominates an area of hills and golden coastline. This fusion of archaeological heritage, clear sea e food and wine tradition makes Agrigento an ideal setting for events of all kinds. The proximity between the archaeological area and the city centre makes it possible to combine outdoor moments - such as aperitifs on the terrace with a view of the temples - with more intimate moments in charming indoor rooms. Moreover, the city is perfectly connected to Palermo and Catania, facilitating the guests' movements.

Define the concept and mood of the event

The starting point is always a get-to-know-you meeting, where you tell Chiara Events your wishes, the style of the party, the number of guests and your budget. From this comes the fil rouge and the mood, i.e. the theme and the emotions you want to convey: it could be a refined 'Classical Aperitif' immersed in the antiquity of the temples, a 'Sicilian Garden Party' made of citrus scents and Mediterranean colours, or a dinner under the stars with a more glamorous atmosphere. In this phase a digital moodboard is developed, accompanied by colour palettes, floral suggestions and layout proposals, allowing you to preview the set-up and make any adjustments.
