Well, I’ll show you a selection of the three most ancient and impressive Churches of the Amalfi Coast if you’d love to celebrate your religious rite in one of the most romantic wedding destinations of the world.
The Cathedral of Ravello
The Cathedral of Ravello is one of the most ancient Catholic Church of our Coast, built in 1086, takes the main square of the town overlooking the entire cliff. Since that time, it has undergone various makeovers, in the 12th and 17th centuries, and again totally restored in 1973. By the way, the interior preserves its authentic ancient charm with a wide central nave and two aisles artistically decorated with valuable gold mosaics. Moreover, the ancient columns, the marbles, the century bronze door, treasures from Roman times and paintings by southern Renaissance artists are surely worth a look. And…if you’re planning an elegant and romantic wedding this Church with its incomparable beauty will provide the perfect setting creating a mesmerizing effect all around you!
The Amalfi Cathedral
Also known as the historical Duomo of St. Andrews, is doubtless one of the most impressive Church of Italy. The Duomo rises in the main square of Amalfi, at the end of an imposing staircase composed of sixty-two steps leading to the doors. Also this one has been renewed several times adding romanesque, byzantine, gothic, and baroque elements. It’s structure includes four small towers adorned with arches and covered with majolica tiles. An extraordinary place to keep your wedding vows forever just in the heart of the Amalfi Coast!
The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Atrani
The Collegiate was built in 1274 on the ruins of a medieval fortress on the initiative of the inhabitants of Atrani to thank the Saint, who released them from a handful of sailors. Nowadays, the Church has definite architectural characteristics, such as the dome of majolica and an elegant bell-tower of the 16th century. It’s the best site for an afternoon wedding, on the ringing of the church bells there will be a wonderful sunset waiting for you and your guests!
To sum up, these are just some of the wonders of this corner of land, several other exist. No country in the world can compete with the choice of venues that Italy boasts for a religious ceremony. Thus, I’ll stand by you, in every step, towards the choice of your #destinationlove. You just have to say “Yes, I do!”.

Italy, a country renowned for its gastronomic treasures… a rich culinary heritage that represents a trip from region to region.
The southern gem of Campania stands out as a true epicurean paradise. Let’s delve into the flavors, aromas, and traditions that make Campania’s cuisine an irresistible delight.
The Crown Jewel: Campania’s Culinary Triumphs
Taste Atlas, the famous online portal that aggregates reviews, opinions, and judgments from experts and food enthusiasts, has crowned Campania as the world’s best region for food in 2024. With a resounding score of 4.60 out of 5, Campania’s culinary prowess shines brightly. But what exactly makes this region so exceptional?
The Mediterranean Bounty
Campania’s cuisine draws inspiration from its sun-kissed landscapes, azure seas, and fertile soil. Here are some highlights:

Pizza: the birthplace of pizza, Naples, offers the quintessential Neapolitan pizza. Thin, chewy crust topped with San Marzano tomatoes, Salerno buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil—it’s a slice of heaven.

Mozzarella di Bufala: Creamy, delicate, and made from water buffalo milk, this cheese is a Campanian treasure. Pair it with ripe tomatoes and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a sublime Caprese salad.

Whether you’re savoring a Margherita pizza in Naples or indulging in a plate of tagliatelle al ragù in Bologna, Italy’s flavors are an invitation to celebrate life through food. So, raise your glass of limoncello, embrace the Mediterranean breeze, and let Campania’s culinary symphony transport you to a place where every bite tells a story.

It’s time to celebrate your engagement party!
People always talk about weddings, weddings, weddings…. What about your engagement party? Your fiancé popped the question and you said a massive ‘Yes, I will!!!’ Your wedding will be held next year, you haven’t chosen the date yet… but it’s already time to celebrate!
Once your engagement news comes out, everyone will want to congratulate you and an engagement party will sound perfect! I’m pretty sure a few questions about the planning of your engagement party are probably swirling around your brain. Read on to find out everything you need to know about planning the flawless engagement party…
When having your engagement party?
Generally, the engagement party falls within a few months of the proposal, that moment in your life you’re just-engaged and you start thinking about the Wedding planning. In case you’re going to have your engagement party on Amalfi Coast, the beginning of September or the Spring season are without a shadow of doubt the best periods.
Who throws the party?
Traditionally, Bride’s parents are expected to host the first official celebration, but you don’t necessarily have to follow the rules. Nowadays, anyone can throw the engagement party and you can throw your own party… your parents, friends and relatives may join the party just as guests. It’s really up to you!
Where should it take place?
Regarding the location of your engagement party, you may decide to have your party in your own city or hold it in the country you may choose for your destination wedding. It is also true that many couples celebrate with different engagement parties because their friends and family are spread all over the World, so you could celebrate in two different places! You just need to think about the vibe you want to create: a more elegant and original setting or a casual and informal one? For example, our Coast boasts a huge variety of hotel terraces or private beaches where you can hold your unforgettable party.
Need to send invitations?
You or whoever is going to throw the party should send official engagement party invitations. Go for plain and informal paper invitations or even opt for digital invites. And don’t worry if you haven’t chosen your wedding color palette or even your wedding date, the engagement party invitations don’t have to match with the rest of your stationery.
Who should be invited?
Following the rules, everyone who will be invited to your engagement party must be invited to your Wedding too. By the way, engagement party guest list expectations have changed! Engagement parties can definitely include people who aren’t invited to the wedding, so feel free to invite all the people you want to share the big news with or whoever you want to have at your side. For a destination engagement party, I suggest you invite just a few people!
What about decorations?
Don’t rush into choosing your wedding colors or theme so that your engagement party can match with details, themes and decors: candlelight, balloons, confetti and floral arrangements are always the best choice!
In short, an engagement party is a great way to share the exciting news and get family and friends together to celebrate… Why not celebrate it on Amalfi Coast?
I’m waiting for you!
