In this wonderful city, it is very easy to get around on foot if you choose the city center for all guests. It is very eas
y to find many alternatives for accommodating your guests.
Venues generally have more space, although i
n both cases, it is possible to find spacious alternatives as well.
Certainly, the differentiating feature is the view over the Gulf of Naples, which means seeing both Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri at the same time.
Amalfi Coast: An Enchanting Coastal Paradise
The Amalfi Coast, with its picturesque colorful villages perched on turquoise sea, is one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in Italy. Positano, Amalfi, Ravello are just some of the gems you can discover along this coastal road.
For a wedding on the Amalfi Coast, you can opt for a romantic ceremony in a historic villa overlooking the sea or choose to exchange your vows on a panoramic and super romantic terrace with stunning views.
Most locations have small spaces but with breathtaking views, yet the most exclusive venues also offer plenty of space and beautiful gardens.

Regarding spaces, the nature of the development of the cities along the Amalfi Coast on the mountains makes most (but not all) locations more difficult to access for people who have difficulty walking or climbing stairs.
Anyway, if you choose the Amalfi Coast, you are definitely choosing exclusivity and sophistication.
Certainly, the most easy choice to reach the various cities along the coast is private transfers.
Regarding accommodations, there are plenty, but the city centers are quite small, and the alternatives to avoid having to move around by car usually have prices above average.
However, the wonder of organizing other events beyond the actual wedding day around these narrow streets has an incomparable atmosphere.
Moreover, from the small port in the city center (especially in Amalfi and Positano), it is also possible to organize boat tours for your guests to visit the entire coast; they will surely be speechless.
How to Choose Between Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast?
When it comes to choosing between Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast for your Destination Wedding, consider the following factors:
Style and atmosphere: Sorrento offers a more traditional and lively atmosphere, while the Amalfi Coast is known for its elegance and sophistication.
Landscapes: Both destinations offer breathtaking landscapes; from Sorrento you see also the Vesuvius, but the Amalfi Coast is renowned for its spectacular coastal views.
Budget: Consider your budget and preferences in terms of location and services offered. When it comes to the event in general, it always depends on the venue we choose. For your guests, Sorrento certainly offers more affordable alternatives, although there are also luxury and high-level hotels available.
There is nothing stopping your guests from staying in Sorrento and then reaching the event city on the Amalfi Coast on the day of the event (for a maximum of 1 or 2 hours of travel time considering traffic). Alternatively, there are many bed and breakfasts along the coast that, being not centrally located, offer very affordable prices.
Whether you choose Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast, you will be sure to experience a fairytale wedding in one of Italy’s most romantic locations. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony on the cliffside or a lavish party in a historic villa, your Destination Wedding will be an unforgettable event that will stay in your hearts and those of all your guests forever.

I’ve been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
