Amalfi Coast Destination Wedding
Italy · Mediterranean
The Amalfi Coast is Italy's most dramatic wedding backdrop — pastel-colored villages clinging to sheer cliffs above the Mediterranean, terraced lemon groves, and winding coastal roads that reveal new breathtaking views at every turn. Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi each offer distinct settings. This is one of the most aspirational and photographed wedding destinations in the world, and the venues match the scenery — historic villas, cliffside terraces, and gardens with panoramic sea views.

Legal requirements
Most couples do a symbolic ceremony here
Foreigners can legally marry in Italy but the process takes 3-6 months of preparation. You need a 'Nulla Osta' (certificate of no impediment) from your home country's embassy in Italy, plus an Atto Notorio (sworn statement with two witnesses at a consulate), birth certificates translated and apostilled, and a formal declaration of intent at the local town hall. All documents must be translated into Italian. Given this complexity, most US couples get legally married at home first and hold a symbolic ceremony on the Amalfi Coast — this gives complete freedom with venue and ceremony style.
