Ceremony Options

• Civil Ceremonies: Ravello offers one of the most scenic legal wedding locations in Italy:

  
  

  Giardini Principessa di Piemonte – These beautifully kept public gardens, right beside the Town Hall, are the official setting for outdoor civil weddings. Overlooking the Amalfi Coast with flower-lined paths and sea views, they offer a regal yet intimate atmosphere for legal vows.

  
  

• Indoor Civil Ceremonies: Ravello Town Hall (Palazzo Tolla) offers an elegant frescoed room for couples who prefer a sheltered or cooler environment.

  
  

• Catholic Ceremonies: The historic Duomo di Ravello, dating back to the 11th century, welcomes Catholic weddings with advance coordination.

  
  

• Symbolic Ceremonies: Many couples opt for symbolic ceremonies at venues like Villa Cimbrone, Belmond Caruso, or Villa Eva for the flexibility to fully personalize their ceremony.

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: Its hilltop elevation keeps it cooler than the coast below — perfect for summer weddings.

• Vendor Excellence: The town attracts some of the best local florists, string quartets, and chefs on the Amalfi Coast, many of whom we work with regularly.
