Weddings in Amalfi
Wedding Locations in Italy
The Amalfi coast stretches for less than fifty miles along the beautiful, warm, inviting shores of the Mediterranean Ocean, but in these few miles are packed more beauty, more history, and more romance than almost anywhere else on Earth. It is said that the Amalfi coast of Italy was once the romantic hideaway of the ancient gods themselves, and it is easy to understand why.
Majestic cliffs tumble into the blue sea with towns and villages perched along their sides, clinging to them as if by magic. This tiny stretch of coastline seems to be part of its own, wondrous world, quite separate from the cares and stresses of the real world. Along the Amalfi coast there are no clocks, there is only the gentle rhythm of the sea to keep time. In fact, for many people time stands still while they immerse themselves in the gentle pulse of this special place.
It is as if time itself stands still, waiting for the rhythm of your love.
Love and romance are everywhere. From the beautiful hanging bougainvillea gardens of Positano to the ancient and breath-taking 10th century Cathedral of Amalfi itself to the mysterious green grotto and the picture-postcard island of Capri, there is no escaping the love and the romance that is so much a part of the Amalfi experience.
Do you dream of ancient castles perched as if in a cloud…?
No matter what your wedding dreams are, from ancient castles, to magnificent Renaissance Cathedrals, to opulent villas, to luxury hotels, the Amalfi Coast has everything it takes to bring those dreams to life. Whether your dream is a full religious ceremony inside an ancient monastery, or a civil service overlooking the most spectacular coastline in all the world, or a symbolic ceremony on a rooftop garden with mountains on one side and the ancient Mediterranean on the other, its all here along the Amalfi coast, just waiting for you and your true love to discover it and to make it all your own.
The memories and the romance that you will bring back with you from your Amalfi experience will last forever and a day.
Whether you choose a religious or a civil wedding the memories of your wedding day will last a lifetime and beyond.
It is possible to arrange for Catholic and other religious ceremonies to be conducted in any number of unique and beautiful venues throughout the Amalfi region, and it is even possible to arrange for ceremonies to be conducted in English. If you wish to have solely a religious ceremony it is recommended that you begin preparations early as Italian and church requirements for religious ceremonies can be time-consuming.
Many people who wish a solely religious ceremony employ the services of a wedding planner who is familiar with the paperwork necessary and can guide you through the bureaucratic shoals and make certain that everything is in place prior to your wedding day.
Alternatively, many people choose to have a civil ceremony first, followed by a religious ceremony. Once a couple has a civil marriage license in hand it is much less complicated to arrange for a religious or a symbolic ceremony in a location of their choosing.
Your civil ceremony will probably be presided over by the mayor himself!
In the Amalfi region civil weddings are held in some of the most magnificent and historic locations imaginable. Often civil ceremonies are presided over by the mayor of the town himself. Most civil services in the Amalfi area permit the bride and groom to write their own vows and to include their own poetry. It is also not uncommon in the Amalfi region for civil ceremonies to be held in English.
If a seaside wedding in a tranquil environment, surrounded by hundreds of years of history and countless eons of natural beauty appeals to you, then you owe it to yourself and to your true love to explore the possibility of holding your wedding in one of the most beautiful and least spoiled places on Earth, an area so unimaginably romantic that the gods themselves gave it their blessing. Come, drive the romantic and winding coastal road and smell the fresh, invigorating air of a place that is an oasis out of time, the romantic paradise known as the Amalfi coast.
