Replace — /images/weddings/hero.jpgFour shapes of wedding on the Amalfi Coast.
Two of you, twenty-five of you, or a hundred. Start with the size, and the rest of the coast falls into place around it.
Where to start
I listen first, then build the right team around you.
Every wedding is a different shape, and the shape is usually decided by how many people are standing there. Find yourself below — the plan is then made around your dates, your guests, and how hands-on you want to be.
Elopements
Two of you, and up to about ten people.
For couples who want the coast, and not the production.
What it means here
- —A symbolic ceremony almost anywhere on this coast
- —The legal side handled separately, wherever you choose to marry
- —A photographer who knows where the light falls at seven
- —Lunch afterwards, without moving cars
- —Often arranged in a few focused calls
Replace — /images/weddings/break-01.jpgIntimate weddings
Up to 25 guests.
One long table, everyone at it, nobody seated by placard.
What it means here
- —The size Villa Mariella was built for
- —The villa is mine, so there is no venue owner to negotiate with
- —One event a day — nobody else on the terrace after you
- —Symbolic ceremony at the villa; church or civil in Ravello
- —A menu written around the market that week, not a banqueting sheet
Replace — /images/weddings/break-02.jpgFull weddings
Thirty guests and up.
Churches, cloisters, historic villas and terraces across Ravello, Amalfi, Positano and Capri.
What it means here
- —At this size the wedding is a logistics problem before it is a design problem
- —Which road closes, and when, in August
- —Which pier the boat leaves from, and how long the crossing really takes
- —Where a hundred people sleep, and how they get back to Naples
- —Knowing the coast personally stops being a nice line and starts being the reason it works
Replace — /images/weddings/break-03.jpgThe week around it
The welcome dinner, the boat day, the long lunch.
And the brunch nobody wants to leave.
What it means here
- —A welcome dinner that sets the tone for the whole week
- —A day on the water, on my own boats
- —A long lunch somewhere your guests would never find alone
- —Transfers by land and sea, owned rather than brokered
- —For most couples this is half the trip and half the budget
How the planning actually runs.
Six steps, from the first call to the morning after. I handle all of them.
How I workSome couples come to me with the venue already signed, and some have planned every last thing and simply need somebody to run the day. That works too — tell me where you are on the call, and I will pick it up from there.
Tell me the date and the kind of wedding you want. I will tell you what is actually possible.
A free thirty-minute call, on your time zone. No brochure, no sales pitch — just an honest read on venues, budget and paperwork for your dates.
