Weddings in the Amalfi CoastIf you have never experienced the Amalfi Coast of Italy, or, more specifically if you have never visited the ancient town of Amalfi, perched like a delicate multi-colored bird on the side of a mountain overlooking the beautiful blue Mediterranean, then you have never experienced Italy.
Why not hold your wedding in Amalfi, the wedding chapel of the gods!
There are few towns in the world which can compare to Amalfi in beauty or in charm or in romance. Amalfi is so unique and so beautiful that the ancient gods themselves had their marriages performed in Amalfi and nowhere else. And it’s easy to understand why.
Amalfi climbs from the soft and gentle shore of the warm Mediterranean and up the side of a steep hill, each colorful building clinging as if by magic to its impossible, storybook perch.
The people of Amalfi are as warm and as inviting to newlyweds as the warm and inviting Mediterranean which gave birth to this ancient town that the gods so adored.
The town of Amalfi welcomes wedding couples with open arms. Whether you wish to have a beautiful civil wedding in one of the most astonishing civil wedding halls on Earth, or you dream of a glorious Catholic ceremony in one of the world’s most ornate churches, Amalfi has it all!
With every turn you make along Amalfi’s narrow cobblestoned streets you find surprising gardens and breath-taking view after view of the mighty Mediterranean Ocean. And yet Amalfi also has some of the finest and most modern hotels you’ll find anywhere, affording you the best of both worlds, the romantic old-world charm of the Middle Ages wrapped in the convenience of the modern world.
Your wedding in Amalfi can be anything you can imagine, from a 10th century Cathedral to the ballroom of the most modern five star hotel.
In the Amalfi region you have your choice of storybook wedding locales, from ancient Renaissance Churches to magnificent art-filled cathedrals, to stunning villas with breath-taking views, to medieval castles to luxury hotels. In the town of Amalfi itself you can be married in a breath-taking 10th century Cathedral, unlike any other Cathedral in the world.
Your religious service can be held in one of the oldest and most beautiful churches left in the world – and your civil ceremony will be conducted in a wedding hall like no other.
You can arrange for either a religious service or, as is more common, a magnificent civil service followed by the religious service of your choice. Keep in mind that a civil service in the town of Amalfi is like no other civil service in the world. The town hall is in an ancient and art-filled building with weddings held in a magnificent wedding hall with huge windows over-looking the Mediterranean. It is quite possible that your service will be performed by the Mayor of Amalfi himself and it is common for the bride and groom to be allowed to include their own wedding vows – plus, it is possible to arrange for ceremonies to be conducted in English, something not permitted in many other parts of Italy.
It is possible to have a Catholic wedding ceremony without a civil ceremony first, but it is highly recommended that you do not attempt to make such arrangements on your own, and instead employ the services of an experienced wedding planner to negotiate the thousand and one details for you.
While it is possible to arrange for a Catholic ceremony only (i.e. no civil ceremony first) it should be noted that the time and paperwork necessary to arrange for a solely Catholic wedding can be quite overwhelming, even if you employ the services of a skilled wedding facilitator. For this reason most couples choose to have a civil ceremony followed – often on the same day – by an opulent religious ceremony.
Getting all of the paperwork with the proper signatures and all of the proper official seals attached can be quite a chore for the bride or the groom or for an untrained friend to take on. Trying to navigate the labyrinth of Italian legal requirements while planning the rest of your wedding is much too much for most couples, and it is highly recommended that you employ the services of a skilled and trained wedding planner who has experience in arranging weddings for non-Italians.
