Capri Weddings

In the heart of Naples Bay, just eleven miles off the coast of romantic Italy is the enchanting isle of Capri, an island of stunning beauty and breathtaking vistas that form a unique backdrop to some of the most romantic wedding locations in all the world.  Where else on Earth can your wedding pictures have the famed and unique Mt. Vesuvius as a background?

For more than 2,800 years lovers have been drawn to the Island of Capri.  Today you can be married among ancient Roman ruins more than twenty centuries old with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples.  Or, if you choose, you can be married in the ancient and romantic church of St. Michaels on one of the highest points of the island – or your ceremony can take place in one of several modern five-star hotels.

Capri is the garden island. Thousands of years ago Julius Caesar himself ordered the creation the Garden of Augustus on the Island of Capri.  Part of Caesar’s legacy to the world is that today more than 800 species of plants, many quite rare and unique, flourish all over the famed Island of Capri, making every moment spent on the island a wonder to behold and a collection of millions of individual moments to be remembered for a lifetime.  During the spring and summer months the indescribably delicate perfume of millions of flowers fills the air and delights the senses.

Many parts of the Island have changed little since Julius Caesar was so taken by the beauty of Capri that he simply had to have the Island as his very own.  Today couples still stroll hand in hand along narrow cobblestone streets and stop to kiss tenderly under the boughs of the ancient bougainvilleas.  If anything, the Island of Capri is even more romantic today than it was more than two millennia ago.

If you have always fantasized about a splendid and unique island wedding, Capri has everything you have ever dreamed of.  Your civil wedding will take place in a magnificent ancient palace set high in the clouds and perched on the edge of the island.  As you and your guests look out the beautiful ancient French doors you can almost imagine that the Roman Legions still rule the world and that you are teetering on the edge of the known world itself.

Your civil ceremony will be presided over by the Mayor of Anacapri and can include personal wedding vows and poetry readings.  Many couples choose to have beautiful classical music played before and after the ceremony itself.

Once your memorable civil service is concluded you are free to hold a religious ceremony at the island’s three-hundred-year-old Protestant church. This is a truly unique church which looks to have been lifted from the pages of a child’s book of fairytales.  Religious wedding ceremonies on Capri may be conducted in English.

If a church wedding is not what you are looking for then the island of Capri offers hundreds of romantic and memorable locations for the symbolic wedding you have always dreamed of.  A symbolic wedding may be held virtually anywhere on this little piece of Paradise, from ancient villas to even more ancient ruins to flower-filled gardens overlooking the deep blue Mediterranean to the most modern five star hotel.  Your wedding planner can not only make certain that all of your paperwork is in place prior to your ceremony, but can also make all the arrangements for your ceremony itself and for a magnificent and memorable reception to follow.

If sun and sand and surf are in your wedding plans, then why not hold your ceremony on the island that Julius Caesar traded half an empire for, the magnificent, unique and oh so romantic island Paradise of Capri?
