Where Should I Have My Destination
Wedding in Italy?
Italy is a large country divided into regions and each region has
its own character. There are three main areas that best capture the
romance of Italy and are the most scenic locations for a destination
wedding.
The three areas for destination weddings in Italy are Tuscany which
is located from the west coast to the center of the country north of
Rome, Liguria on the north-western coast closest to France and then
the Amalfi coast which is on the west coast south of Rome.
Though there are lots of big city locations in Italy for destination
weddings (Rome, Florence and Venice to name a few), you will get the
most authentic and least expensive experience when you use a smaller
town in Italy for your wedding. Smaller towns are quainter and are
typically more affordable when it comes to the rental of wedding
venues, accommodation and the reception. The one caveat is that
people in smaller towns are less likely to speak English, so if you
don’t speak much Italian, be sure to hire someone to help you make
arrangements.
In the Tuscany region of Italy, the destination wedding locations we
recommend are: Orvieto, Montalcino, Lucca, Pienza, Gubbio,
Montepulciano and Cortona. For Liguria, we recommend choosing a
destination wedding location in the Cinque Terre area. The towns
within that are are: Vernazza, Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola,
Riomaggiore, Positano and Santa Margherita Ligure. And along the
Amalfi coast, the towns we recommend for destination weddings in
Italy are: Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano and Capri.
When to Have a
Destination Wedding in Italy
Unless you want a winter wedding in Italy, it’s best to go during
the warmer months. Late March through June and then September
through early October are the best times to plan your destination
wedding in Italy.
In spring and fall the weather will be in the low 60’s and you’ll
avoid the heat and crowds that come for the summer. Keep in mind
that the scenery will change with the seasons – for example there
are lots of flowers in bloom during the spring, while fall is the
harvest season.
