a 50th Wedding Anniversary
planned by Wedding Amalfi

A lifetime love-story between a world-famous Italian Ship Commander and his wife!

When a couple reaches such a milestone, it’s customary to renew love promises with a religious ceremony,
just like the time the very first ‘Yes, I do’ was pronounced.

From South Africa, S&S came back to Italy to celebrate one of the most important moments of their life!

Their love story began more than 50 years ago.
Sandra and Salvatore were just two teenagers who lived a few meters away in a neighborhood of Southern Italy;
She was the most beautiful girl Salvatore had ever seen and he was the most lively guy she had ever known.
How not to fall madly in love?

Since their first meeting, they have spent their lives together among sea, projects, dreams, ships and family.
Salvatore step from the Navy to become president of MSC Cruises in South Africa traveling all over the World and
reaching the most important life goals with Sandra by his side. Nowadays, Salvatore is best-known as the Captain of
Shosholoza, the Italian man who challenged the America’s Cup letting people remember the last name Sarno.

On the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary, the boundless love for the sea and their roots
brought them back to their hometown in the Church of Saints Simon and Judas Thaddeus
to celebrate their love again and again.

After an intimate religious ceremony, the couple held a total golden party in Capo d’Orso inviting
their guests to a Michelin-starred dinner in the prestigious restaurant Il Faro di Capo D’Orso.

The most special event for the most special people in the flawless setting of the Amalfi Coast planned with ‘all the love in the World’!

Thanks a million to the Sarno Family for choosing my team and I for the third time as the planners of their events.

2021 Wedding – How to Plan an Amalfi Coast Elopement

If you are planning a romantic escape for your Wedding Day, the perfect location for your elopement wedding is undoubtedly the enchanting Amalfi Coast. And if the pandemic period altered your wedding plans, an intimate elopement is the best choice!

The Amalfi Coast is one the most popular destinations of the Italian seaside, located in the south of Naples between mountains and the blue sea, and gathers pastel-colored villages perched on the cliff overlooking the sea, Ravello, Sorrento, Atrani, the maritime town of Amalfi, Minori and Maiori, not to mention the gorgeous islands… just some of the flawless frames for your Special Day. The narrow streets, the mediternnean sea, the vibrant sun, the scents, the culinary tradition and local customs will definitely steal your heart!

And what about if you don’t live in Italy? Yes, I know! It could be difficult to figure out how to plan your
elopement wedding on the Amalfi Coast. Here, come my tips!

HIRE A PLANNER

First things first, an elopement wedding represents just a fraction of what a big wedding costs, so hiring a professional wedding planner can still be an affordable option for you. Don’t think twice, you’re gonna need it!

CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION CAREFULLY

Can you imagine your elopement day? The location where you will exchange your vows should be reflective of your love, your kind of relationship and how you would love to spend your special day: in a luxurious ancient villa, in a lush garden, on a sea-view terrace, on a private beach or on a boat! From there, I will help you find the perfect place to elope, a place where you can feel connected with the beauty of our Coast and love!

HIRE AN OFFICIANT & MAKE IT LEGAL

It’s very important to look into the legal laws of the country where you’re planning to elope in order to know in time when you need to register, what papers and requirements you need to have. For this reason, being able to rely on a professional figure will be crucial to make your elopement wedding legal to all effects.

INVEST IN YOUR VENDORS

The florist, the make-up artist, the hair-stylist, the photographer or videomaker, the caterer must be absolutely reliable and professional people and who know the area to perfection. A wedding planner like me will find the right contacts for you and manage the planning process with the vendors without any concerns for you and your groom-to-be.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS VIRTUALLY

For an intimate ceremony the right choice is to live your elopement just for yourselves or to share this romantic moment just with your parents. And your friends? They can attend the ceremony virtually!

ENJOY YOUR HONEYMOON

On the Amalfi Coast you will not only live the most important day of your life, but also an unforgettable honeymoon. I can plan for you the second part of your elopement as well, book your stay in the best hotels in the area or arrange tours and excursions just for you. What more could you ask for?
