Your wedding in Positano

Positano weddings are still a dream of many engaged couples. This town on the Amalfi Coast is a breathtaking place to celebrate a romantic destination wedding, and represents a perfect alternative to an Amalfi wedding. It is the ideal spot for couples in search of a special wedding setting, in fact Positano offers a great deal of wedding venues, such as beach restaurants or hotels, an old fisherman manor turned into a luxury hotel, or a botanical garden for an outdoor wedding.

John Steinbeck in his 'Positano' (1953) gives an exact picture of what a visitors may think and feel when being there. Steinbeck writes: "Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone. Its houses climb a hill so steep it would be a cliff except that stairs are cut in it. I believe that whereas most house foundations are vertical, in Positano they are horizontal. The small curving bay of unbelievably blue and green water lips gently on a beach of small pebbles...." and "Nearly always when you find a place as beautiful as Positano, your impulse is to conceal it. You think, 'If I tell, it will be crowded with tourists and they will ruin it, turn it into a honky-tonk and then the local people will get touristy and there's your lovely place gone to hell.' There isn't the slightest chance of this in Positano. In the first place there is no room. There are about two thousand inhabitants in Positano and there is room for about five hundred visitors, no more. The cliffs are all taken."

Positano well combines the charm of its natural beaches with the atmopshere of the ancient fishing port. The town boasts palms, lemon trees, colourful gardens, cascading bougainvillae and many little cafes and typical restaurants. Positano is also famous for its local fashion ' Moda Positano' born in the 50's, and you can find this local fashion clothes in the several bright and colourful shops, boutiques and factories. Ideal place for a shopping tour, so loved by stylish women.

If not in the main Cathedral, your dream wedding in Positano can be celebrated in a chapel overlooking the sea. A magic scene on the Amalfi Coast for a stylish wedding filled with romance and poetry.
