The Amalfi Coast is dramatic—cliffside villages, terraced landscapes, impossible logistics. Venue access often requires negotiating narrow streets or boat arrivals. Catering happens at heights where supplies must be carefully staged. Photography locations mean hiking or helicopter access. Vendors work at premium because complexity is built into every decision. That said, the visual return is extraordinary. A Ravello terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, a sunset ceremony in Positano—it's worth the investment if la dolce vita  is your dream.

Amalfi Coast celebrations typically range from €35,000 to €180,000+. An intimate elopement (4–8 guests) runs €22,000–€45,000. A micro-wedding (15–25 guests) usually falls in €60,000–€100,000. A full celebration (40–60 guests) across multiple events often reaches €120,000–€180,000+. Summer pricing is 20–30% higher than shoulder seasons. The cost reflects logistics, exclusivity, and vendor expertise in managing this challenging yet one of a kind terrain.

The main international airport is Naples (NAP), located about 80km away—roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic and your final destination. During the summer months, a few direct flights per week connect New York JFK to Naples, making it convenient for American travelers.

Last year, the new Amalfi Coast Airport opened in Salerno, offering easier access to Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi—just around 45 minutes away.

Some couples choose to fly into Rome or Milan and rent a car, but we don't recommend this route. The Amalfi Coast's winding roads require local experience and steady nerves to navigate safely. Instead, we arrange private drivers and luxury shuttle services from the airport directly to your destination. It's a small investment that makes a big difference—you'll arrive relaxed and ready to celebrate.

Yes, though it requires careful timing. Ravello (the quieter hill village) works beautifully for ceremonies and receptions. Positano (the colorful cliffside village) is stunning for a rehearsal dinner, welcome cocktail, or second-day brunch. They're about 20 minutes apart by car, but the winding roads mean you need buffer time. I typically recommend choosing one as your main venue and using the other for a secondary event. This prevents guest fatigue and keeps the focus sharp.

May–June and September–October are ideal: 22–28°C, low rain probability, spectacular light. Summer (July–August) is hot (28–32°C), crowded, and peak-priced. Winter is mild but unpredictable—sudden rain can disrupt outdoor plans. I always build contingency for the Amalfi Coast. Even in perfect months, weather can shift. We plan covered or flexible spaces and have backup indoor venues identified.

This depends on your guests' nationalities. US, Canadian, UK, and Australian citizens can typically stay in Italy visa-free for 90 days. If you have guests from other countries, I research their specific visa requirements and provide guidance. For legal marriage documents, we handle apostille paperwork and consular coordination based on guest nationalities.
