A strip of land stretching out into the Mediterranean Sea, reaching for nearby islands Capri and Ischia; coastlines traced with small fishing villages that until the end of World War II were completely isolated and undiscovered by countrymen or tourists.
As prosperity brought Americans and wealthy Europeans to the south of Italy, they soon discovered the breathtaking wonder of the drive on State Road 163 called the “Blue Ribbon” road which winds its way along the hairy drop-off straight into deep blue Mediterranean waters. The coastline from Sorrento, to Massa Lubrense, to Positano, Praiano, Furore, Amalfi, Atrani, Maiori, and inland to Ravello, on the way back to the foot of the Vesuvius makes up the infamous 'Amalfi Coast'.
A Wedding on the Amalfi Coast takes you back to the time of Jackie Kennedy, Ladybird Johnson, Humphrey Boghart, Greta Garbo, and many other VIP celebrities who chose this European destination for their most intmate and alluring dreams. The Amalfi Coast was inspiration for some of the great masters of literature, music, dance and art like Virginia Woolf, Richard Wagner, Rudolf Nureyev, Luigi Pirandello, John Steinbeck.
Stunning views of picturesque villages scattered in the crevices of towering canyons and gorges, the shores and coves meeting with a turquoise tide resembling Caribbean seas: all the magic of the Amalfi Coast!
Ravello
The most quaint and peaceful of the Amalfi Coast villages, Ravello is sophisticated and refined, home to grand villas and secluded gardens where celebrities such as Gore Vidal have lived in seclusion for years.
An 11th century Wedding Hall welcomes couples and their guests in the Italian garden for one of the few outdoor civil wedding ceremonies available in Italy. Your reception in one of the elegant villas overlooking the coastline with Italian music, Italian cuisine, Italian style and atmosphere. Everything you need to create the perfect Italian Wedding.
Positano
You never get the full picture of Positano unless you are on a yacht at sea. The village spreads across a mass of land which literally throws itself into the Med. Whitewashed houses and hotels climb up the hillside as if fighting each other for a precious grasp of this special piece of Amalfi coastline.
