Having a wedding in Italy is a dream wedding come true. But, having an Amalfi Coast wedding is one an event in our lives that we will cherish forever. I’m no expert when it comes to planning weddings, but I do know how to get married in Italy. I actually had my own Amalfi Coast wedding in this picturesque town called Positano.
I’m telling you that we really enjoyed the occasion. Our Amalfi Coast wedding was perfect. Let me tell you why we chose this place. First off, we really wanted to have an Italian style wedding. But, we didn’t want to do an Italian style wedding in the USA. We wanted to get married in Italy for it to be authentic.
So, we did some research, talked to some people and found out about having an Amalfi Coast wedding. We took a trip to research Amalfi Coast wedding venues and ended up deciding on having a Positano wedding. I would say that of all the equally beautiful coastal towns we found to host our Amalfi Coast wedding, there was just something that prompted us to decide that having a Positano wedding was what we wanted.
It was the most romantic and picturesque place to us. We visited the Positano Town Hall. When we walked out of the terrace, we knew that this was the perfect place to have our Amalfi Coast wedding. We felt like we were in an Italian fairytale. Positano had everything we were looking for. The town’s buildings are cascading down the steep hillsides of Positano in such a way that it seemed like it was flowing out into the turquoise beauty that was the sea. To us, this was the perfect back drop for our Amalfi Coast wedding. It’s no surprise that Positano is one of the most popular places for getting married in Italy.
It wasn’t really hard for us to decide to have a Positano wedding. I think the hardest part in planning the Amalfi Coast wedding would be the paperwork to make getting married in Italy legal. We didn’t want it to be a symbolic wedding; we wanted our Amalfi Coast wedding to be legal and we wanted to have an Italian Wedding license. So, we had to call every government agency and find out exactly what we needed to do. Planning our Amalfi Coast wedding was confusing and difficult at first, but once we figured it out, getting married in Italy became simple.
Our Positano wedding was done on the huge terrace of the local Positano Town Hall. To make your Amalfi Coast Wedding legal, it must be done here. However, you are often married by the Mayor of Positano. We think that it’s one of the things that made our Amalfi coast wedding perfect!
Our Amalfi Coast wedding reception was held at the luxurious Hotel Le Sirenuse. We danced on the balcony overlooking the cascading houses and the sea below. I would definitely recommend getting married in Italy, particularly having an Amalfi Coast wedding in Positano.
