Ceremony Options
For a civil ceremony, confirm the approved setting, eligibility, documents and timings with the local comune and the official guidance relevant to your circumstances.
Giardini Principessa di Piemonte is a setting to discuss with Ravello’s comune when exploring civil ceremony options. Confirm current availability, guest arrangements and permissions.
Ask the comune about indoor ceremony options and arrangements in case of poor weather.
For a Catholic ceremony, speak directly with the relevant church about eligibility, documentation and available dates.
A symbolic ceremony can be shaped around your own words and traditions. It does not replace a legally recognised marriage; confirm the venue’s approved spaces and arrangements.

Planning Considerations
• Accessibility: Ravello is pedestrian-friendly but car-free in many areas. We coordinate with local porters and shuttle services to make guest arrivals seamless.
• Weather: Consider heat, shade and wind as well as a comfortable alternative for rain.
• Suppliers: Choose a team with experience of your venue and its access requirements.
Planning Support for a Ravello Wedding
A beautiful setting still needs careful coordination.
Winding roads, pedestrian routes and historic properties can affect guest transfers and supplier deliveries. Confirm the exact access arrangements before building the event schedule.
The planning scope should make clear who coordinates transfers, supplier access, the event schedule and each hosted gathering.
Ravello forms part of our wider wedding experience. Our signature regions today are Cilento, Puglia and Sicily.
Enquiries outside those regions are considered individually, according to the venue, dates and support required.
The aim is always a personal celebration with clear, practical arrangements.
