Clifftop Villas, Lemon Groves, and the Bluest Sea in Italy
DESTINATION WEDDING PLANNER ON THE AMALFI COAST & ISCHIA, ITALY
Villages tumbling down the cliffs toward turquoise water. Terraces suspended between sky and sea. Lemon groves, bougainvillea, and a light so luminous it seems to glow from within.
The Amalfi Coast and the island of Ischia are two of the most breathtaking places in the Mediterranean, and two of the most demanding to plan in. That's exactly why the right guidance matters here.
The Amalfi Coast: Legendary Beauty
Among the venues we know and have planned in:
- Anantara Convento di Amalfi, a former monastery perched on the cliffs above Amalfi, with a terrace that feels suspended over the sea
- Villa Cimbrone, in Ravello, home of the famous Terrace of Infinity, one of the most spectacular views in Italy
- Palazzo Avino, in Ravello, a historic palazzo where refined elegance meets endless views over the coast
Ischia: The Island We Know by Heart
We know Ischia inch by inch. We have planned several experiences and celebrations here, and we understand the strengths and challenges of every area of the island: which corners are easiest for guests to reach, which offer the most spectacular settings, and how to balance the two.
Among the places we know well:
- Mezzatorre, a hotel built around a 16th-century watchtower on a promontory above the sea
- Castello Aragonese, the island's iconic medieval castle, rising from a rocky islet connected to Ischia Ponte by a stone bridge
- Botania Relais, in Forio, a secluded retreat surrounded by gardens, for celebrations with a relaxed, green and intimate atmosphere
When to Celebrate
We recommend late spring and early/late summer. The light is at its most magical, the sea is warm, and the tiny streets of the villages are still pleasant to walk.
We strongly advise against late July and August, when local tourism is at its peak. Roads, ports and villages become crowded, and moving guests and vendors becomes far more complex.
The Logistics Few Planners Talk About
On the Amalfi Coast, many areas are pedestrian-only. Some venues can be reached only on foot, and everything, from guests' luggage to flowers, furniture and equipment, must be carefully planned and often carried by hand. Every movement requires precise timing and experienced local partners.
On Ischia, the island offers a good but limited choice of local vendors. Working with suppliers from the mainland is often worthwhile for design and style, but it means ferry transport and additional costs. Knowing when a local vendor is the right choice, and when it's worth bringing someone over, is part of what we do.
In both places, careful planning is what turns complexity into ease. Your guests should only ever see the view.
A Journey Worth Taking
Reaching the Amalfi Coast or Ischia is part of the adventure. Naples airport is the main gateway, with direct seasonal flights from several US cities in the summer months and excellent connections through European hubs year-round.
From Naples, guests continue by car along the coastal road to the Amalfi Coast, or by hydrofoil boat across the bay to Ischia. It's a journey that requires a little more time, and guests who love to travel. The reward is arriving somewhere truly extraordinary.
Our guest experience team coordinates every step: airport transfers, ferry and hydrofoil schedules, luggage, and arrivals. The journey becomes the first memory of your celebration.
Amalfi Coast or Ischia? How to Choose
if you want the beauty of the Bay of Naples with a more intimate, authentic island atmosphere, and a more accessible overall investment.

Planning a Wedding on the Amalfi Coast or Ischia: Your Questions, Answered
Late spring and early summer, when the light is beautiful and the villages are still pleasant to explore. We recommend avoiding August, the peak of local tourism.
Naples is the main airport, with direct seasonal flights from several US cities and connections through European hubs. From Naples, guests reach the Amalfi Coast by car and Ischia by hydrofoil.
Yes. Many areas are pedestrian-only, and some venues can only be reached on foot. Guest movements and vendor deliveries require precise planning and experienced local partners.
Ischia has a good but limited choice of local vendors. Many couples bring in suppliers from the mainland, which involves ferry transport and additional costs. We help you decide what's worth bringing over.
For a celebration of around 80 guests, most weddings we plan begin at approximately €80,000 on Ischia and €200,000 on the Amalfi Coast, in total investment for the wedding day celebration. The final figure depends primarily on guest count, venue, and the length of the celebration.
Once we begin working together, we build your detailed budget during venue selection, the moment when those numbers matter most, so you choose your venue knowing exactly what the full celebration will look like.
Tell us whether the cliffs of Amalfi or the coves of Ischia are calling you, and how you imagine your guests arriving by the sea. We'll take care of every step of the journey.
