There are many English, Spanish and Russian speaking agencies, that can help you get through the whole process, without getting too stressed and letting you concentrate just on what is very important: your wedding.

Prices may obviously vary according to the venue, to the number of guests, to the type of food and to the period of the year.

Even though the Amalfi Coast is not considered as something exactly cheap, you can get a good deal, especially if you are not looking for something baroque and extremely fancy.

A normal wedding, with everything you need and enjoying the specialties of this wonderful region, is usually more than affordable for most of the couples.

The wedding in Maiori

Maiori is one of the preferred location for the celebration of the wedding itself, as the ceremony will take place in the worldwide famous Hall of Frescoes in the Municipio / Town Hall.

It’s a very interesting and beautiful location, one of those that are able to make the whole trip worth not just for you, but also for your guests.

The ceremonies in the Town Hall are celebrated from Monday to Friday in the morning, while on Tuesday and Thursday you will have the chance to pick up also the afternoon.

The photographer

If your wedding planner agency doesn’t provide you with one, you should also look for a photographer close to the location you picked up for your wedding. It’s not that hard, as along the Amalfi Coast you will be able to find some of the best professionals of wedding photography.

What about the HoneyMoon?

The Amalfi Coast is also a wonderful destination for your honeymoon, either if you decided to get married in here or if you are reaching the Amalfi Coast just for your after-wedding first vacation as husband and wife.

The Amalfi Coast is by far one of the most romantic locations of the world and surely one of the most populars as honeymoon destination. Is there anything better than visiting the cradle of love, like the Italians call it, for the first official vacation with the man or woman you love?

Book in advance

The Amalfi Coast is an extremely popular destination for holidays. If you plan to stay in the area during the high season, you will have to book your hotel, B&B or apartment quite in advance, or you will take the risk of remaining without an accommodation.

Even during low season, if you are looking for a hotel in particular, it would be better to start looking for reservations at least 6 months in advance.

Even as part of an Italy tour

Many people, especially the ones coming from overseas, could seize this occasion to organise a tour of Italy.

The Amalfi Coast can be either the starting point or the ending point of your tour, or just a long, intermediate step while moving from North to Sicily. You can visit a couple of towns allotting even just 2 or 3 days. It will definitely be worth it.
