Amalfi Coast destination wedding guide

Choosing your location

Compare Positano, Amalfi and Ravello as separate bases rather than treating the coast as one venue. Select a town that works for your ceremony, accommodation and reception, then decide whether another stop adds enough value to justify the journey. See Italia.it: Mediterranean wedding settings for destination background.

What to ask your venue

Look beyond the terrace photograph. Ask for the exact walking route, stair count, vehicle drop-off point and accessible alternative. Your guests, clothing and camera equipment all need to reach the ceremony comfortably.

Planning your wedding photographs

Keep the wedding-day portrait route compact. A terrace, nearby lane and one coastal viewpoint can give you variety without a long excursion. If several towns are essential to your photographs, reserve a separate portrait session.

Planning your wedding film

For a terrace ceremony, request a sound check and a sheltered microphone plan. If ceremony and reception are in different places, give the film team time to pack, transfer and set up before speeches begin.

Timing, light and weather

Ask the venue how much shade its terrace has at your proposed ceremony time. Schedule water, shade and a short break into the portrait block. Agree an indoor alternative that works for photographs as well as dinner.

Bringing Bella Vita with you

Choosing a photo and film team before you travel gives you time to discuss style, priorities and the moments that matter. For combined coverage, ask for a proposal naming both team members, their roles, the hours on each day and the finished photographs and films you will receive. Flights and accommodation are part of the travel plan; they do not replace the creative fee. Ask for a written total covering travel, lodging, transfers, venue access costs, currency and taxes before committing.

Before you reserve

• How far is the walk from the vehicle?
• Who moves luggage and equipment?
• What is the transport fallback if the original route changes?
• Confirm whether you want a legal marriage abroad or a symbolic celebration, then obtain the current requirements directly from the relevant authority.
• Ask your suppliers to confirm any permissions needed to work at the destination and venue before booking travel.
