Destination Weddings in the Italian Riviera

Highlights:

• The charm and rugged beauty of the Cinque Terre.
• The glamour and elegance of the Portofino Bay.
• The birthplace of pesto - one of Italy’s most famous pasta sauces.
• Hiking and boating excursions all along the coast.

Waves crash against rocky cliffs, sailboats glide along the deep azure sea, and the facades of pastel colored houses create an idyllic setting for your exclusive wedding in the Italian Riviera.

The Italian Riviera is many things depending on your choice of destination. Portofino is the glamorous queen of the Italian Riviera while Portovenere and Cinque Terre are rustic and charming. Portovenere inspired Lord Byron who is said to have penned his Childe Harold's Pilgrimage here and where the writer Shelley often vacationed. Portovenere’s church of St. Peter, built on a promontory dominates the entire bay and is one of the most amazing backdrops for Portovenere's wedding photos. Regardless of the location you select, the views everywhere will be heart stopping beautiful.

Your Italian Riviera civil wedding can be celebrated in the elegant resort of Santa Margherita Ligure, in a 17th Century villa surrounded by a park, complete with stuccoed interiors and stupendous views of the sea. Many other options are possible for Civil, Catholic, Protestant and Symbolic weddings on the Italian Riviera including locations such as Cinque Terre.

Wedding receptions options in the Italian Riviera range from luxury sea view palace hotels, private villas, and restaurants. Relax with your guests while  taking in the beautiful vistas, watching the incredible sunsets while sipping a glass of bubbly Prosecco.
