Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
Enchanting sceneries, luxury private villas, breathtaking views, romantic boat cruises… just a little of the Amalfi Coast’s charm that has captivated engaged couples to tie-the-knot even a thousand miles away from home.
Are you thinking of taking off and getting married in Italy? Are you looking for the right tips? Well, don’t panic! Here are my 7 #destinationlove top-tips:
1. Pick your venue
Suggestive terraces overlooking the sea or private villas: where you will say ‘ Yes, I do ’ is clearly the key of a destination wedding – not just a location, but the place where you and your guests will feel at home – which means that you might think about some entertainment activities they could do on their own for the day before and the day after around the Amalfi Coast too! So hilarious! Enjoy!
2. Save the date
Doubtless, another key thing is to set the date. Planning a destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast takes the right timing! In Italy, generally, people tend to get married during peak season – from May to September – hence, considering the favorable weather conditions, you should set the date and book your dream venue as soon as possible in order to have a better chance to find it available. On the flip side, if you’re going for a destination elopement, the off season is the best – from October to March – for a more intimate ceremony to enjoy to the fullest the unique atmosphere of the Amalfi Coast.
3. Give your guests a Heads-up
One of the main destination wedding tips is: send out the save-the-date-cards well in advance – 10 or 8 months before – Your dearest will be thrilled to share your special day with you, basically, you are giving them the opportunity to ‘switch off’ and take a holiday, but don’t forget that there are a lot of logistics details to arrange. Be sure to give your guests all necessary information in time.
4. The more the merrier or not?
This one can be tricky! It’s totally on you and on how long or short you want your guest list to be. Keep in mind that a destination wedding is a trip experience. Then, I suggest you surround yourselves with your nearest & dearest!
5. Have a pre-wedding trip
Planning a wedding in Italy when you’re far-far away can be a tough issue. Once on board, I’ll make sure to guarantee you a memorable Italian wedding experience! Anyway, after having preliminary meetings, I could not recommend you enough to take the opportunity to land in Italy and meet in person. Moreover, you can have a look-see at the venue, have a rehearsal dinner and plan a trial with a local hairdressing and make-up artist for the bride – they tend to be full.
6. Kind of ceremony
What kind of ceremony would you like? A traditional religious ceremony, a civil outdoor rite or a fascinating symbolic ceremony… Regardless of your choice, you need to start the procedure to get the necessary documentation, naturally with my support.
7. Have fun & Not-Planning
Tying the knot out-of-country can be really complicated and it’s easy to freak out when start the planning process. By the way, take time just for the two of you and don’t stress you out anymore! All you have to do is relying on your professional planner and having the most stress-free experience ever.
Think outside the box! I’ll be your toolbox to make your #destinationlove as flawless as it can be from the get-to… your call!

The Amalfi Coast represents one of the most popular destinations chosen by more and more engaged couples who are being captured by its breathtaking landscapes, its sea, bright colours, the scent of citrus, the ancient culinary tradition and doubtless by its several venues, hidden corners and villas overlooking the Mediterranean.

Here, some of the most wonderful sites that our Coast boasts.
Amalfi
Amalfi is known as one of the most ancient Maritime Republic and over time has become symbol of the whole Coast, hence its name. The town leaves behind Lattari Mountains and looks towards the blue of its waters becoming one of the most fascinating places to visit and the most coveted destination for couples from all over the World. Its unique architecture, its narrow streets, white houses, lemon groves and the elegant Cathedral of Sant’Andrea built in Arabic-style and located in the central square of the town, make it the perfect location to live a real italian dream only a few steps from the sea.
Ravello
The tiny village of Ravello is perched on the rocky part of the Coast falling into the sea and is doubtless one of the most exclusive location located in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. Ravello with its charming villas and famous historic palaces is one of the most romantic places where celebrate your wedding among panoramic terraces, bucolic verandas, showy gardens, paths and ancient cloisters. No matter if yours will be a religious ceremony or a civil one… Ravello is the ideal setting to seal your eternal love!
Sorrento
An ancient city, forged by Greek, Roman, Norman and Aragonese culture which rises on a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples. Its landscapes, its well-known lemon groves, its interesting architecture and myths about mermaids have been celebrated by several poets, songwriters and painters turning it into a world-famous city. Nowadays, the beauty of its charming sites captures eyes and hearts of the engaged couples who visit it.
Positano
The small fishing village of Positano, also known as the shell of the Amalfi Coast, is a triumph of colours with its tiny houses perched on the rock hovering on each other, its white streets which host many workshops of local artisans leading to the sea. Positano hides some of the most exclusive sites and venues of this stretch of coast… gorgeous terraces covered with bougainvillea, private beaches reachable solely by boat will give you and your guests a truly magical atmosphere on your special day.

M&S: when love grows like a seed!
A Wedding in the name of Nature planned by Wedding Amalfi
M&S are two extra-ordinary human beings who live in total respect for nature and in a very deep mutual love.
Like many couples, S&M, want their Wedding Day to be unforgettable: from the ‘Yes, I will’ to the ‘Yes, I do’ I was by their side.
Here, I’ll tell you some details about their life and story… they’re Salvatore and Michela!
Salvatore is a landowner and Michela works as a nutritionist using natural products to give wellness to her patients. Their love is so real and strong
They respect and support each other in their work and personal adventures
and truly wanted to share the rest of their lives together.
Where to set up the flawless Marriage Proposal? Definitely on the Amalfi Coast!
On the occasion of the marriage proposal, with my complicity, Salvatore planned a great surprise for his beloved Michela tooking part in a photoshoot in Positano made by the well-known photographer Gianni Di Natale. After the shooting, Salvatore booked a room and arranged a dinner on a private terrace to make that day by far the most romantic one.
At the end of the dinner, the waiter brought a cake with two flutes of champagne: in Michela’s one there was the ring! And then what? On September 18, they chose Saint Peter Church in Cetara and Giardini del Fuenti to celebrate their Love.
Nothing was left to chance, every single choice made by the couple during the planning process of their Wedding Day had its symbolic meaning: the Church honors Saint Peter, a great worker and wise man, just like Salvatore is!
In his company, La Palma, Salvatore helps people who arrive in Italy looking for a better life, donating lands and teaching them to cultivate and produce high quality products. The products are sold throughout Italy under an important Italian brand, Conad, with particular names: the tomato is called ‘R Accolto’, in Italian stands for the fusion between the words collected and welcomed. Moreover, the fishing village of Cetara for its history and tradition strongly linked to his work ideology and Giardini del Fuenti, the perfect venue where beauty and nature coexist, exactly like they wanted.
The key elements were generosity, prosperity, roots and nature!
This was the reason why their cards were printed on paper containing seeds. Their guests received the cards with steps to plant those seeds that will tell the story of their love again and again. Every single detail of M&S’ Wedding speaks the language of nature and love: from the original tableau de mariage to the monogram on their wedding table made of asparagus, fennel, wheat, broccoli and olive tomatoes kept together by the initials of the newlyweds names.
A Wedding I will remember forever!
