If you are organizing your wedding in Italy, know that you can comply with the musical rights by filling out an online form, or by requesting permission from the authorized offices in the umbrian territory (in Perugia the SIAE headquarters is located in Via Gerolamo Savonarola, 23) . It is sufficient to provide the data relating to your wedding, such as the type of venue hosting the reception, the precise number of guests, the type of music you want, etc.
We can advise and help you in completing the online form to pay the SIAE for the wedding or for your private party, so you will not have to move from home to collect the permit and you can safely pay by credit card, paypal or bank transfer.
This operation is the responsibility and concern of the spouses. This principle is confirmed by the fact that the penalties, for any avoidance of the payment of fees, fall in equal parts on the venue hosting the event and on the spouses. The playing band acts only as Artistic Director, who is responsible for the correct compilation of the permit.
The online portal dedicated to private parties allows you to obtain a license for a private party with the performance of music pieces protected by the SIAE and to pay the compensation due for copyright and accessories (administrative procedural rights, any related rights and invoice VAT ).
Here is the way to request fast payment of rights online:
Go to the following link, register as private “users”: https://www.siae.it/it/servizi-online
Enter your personal details and follow the instructions. Wait for a confirmation email with password, then use your username and password to access the SIAE port.
Inside the portal, on the first page, click the “Private party permissions” box.
Click on “start” and enter the data of the party.
In the section “What are you celebrating” indicate the type of event, number of participants, type of entertainment (eg: wedding with live music, NOT dance, number of guests;
Pay the amount + VAT + administrative fees and then go to the “My permits” phase;
Look for the name of the musical performer to assign him the electronic compilation of Bordero;
An email will be sent to you from the SIAE portal when the executor has filled in and sent the borderò, again electronically. At that point, all you have to do is click on “return” to send it to the system.
