Villa Cimbrone wedding

Villa Cimbrone weddings are always a memorable experience for couples and their guests. The reason is because Villa Cimbrone has an historical villa, well maintained that offers unique and beautiful spots to make the perfect wedding! The villa offers many different corners able to accommodate the variety requests from couples! I had the joy of planning the wedding of Vivian and Mike at Villa Cimbrone, for sure the most exclusive and luxury venues of the Amalfi Coast.

The love story

It’s true that it is possible to find real love online! This happened to Vivian and Mike who matched on Bumble and after their first date they never left each other!  Vivian and Mike are big travellers and after a trip to Positano few years ago they decided to plane their wedding on the Amalfi coast. It is common to read on blogs that when couples decide for a destination wedding they are looking for a more intimate affair but of course this wasn’t valid for Vivian and Mike. In fact they invited more than 120 guests and over 90 guests attended the wedding in Ravello.

Vision of the day

Vivian and Mike, from the beginning of the planning process, had a very clear idea of what they wanted for their destination wedding; it can summarized into 3 words: Romantic, elegant and overall fun wedding day! Yes, because when you plan a large destination wedding and ask your guests to travel to Italy (what a good excuse!) you should guarantee something that they will never forget! They were looking to host a beautiful wedding but really wanted to add authentic experiences to make a memorable wedding week-end!

Who does what?

Vivian was in charge for everything related to the vision, the mood and the style of the day, with a very accurate eye for the details and to the color palette; Mike instead was in charge for the food and wins, the music and the party!

Villa Cimbrone and the planning process

The planning started and as per the first step it was important to define the wedding date and the wedding venue. After considering the different options the Amalfi coast offers, they fell in love with Ravello and they picked one of the most exclusive venues the area offers: Villa Cimbrone. Villa Cimbrone offers lush gardens and breathtaking views from every single corner and the WOW factor is a guarantee!

For Vivian and Mike was important to give a crescendo and let guests to see the beauty of the place; so, they choose the Garden of the 2 O for the wedding ceremony to view the amalfi coast line; for the cocktail hours they wanted the Infinity Terrace, without any doubt one of the most breathtaking and unique spot of the entire Amalfi coast! They pick the crypt for the dinner and the party after.

Vendors selection

The music was also a very important aspect for Mike and every moment has been curated with the right music. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment made by the roaming band Knight club that made a super fun party. Given the colour palette, made by a romantic shade of blush and touch of  warm pink, the flower decorations have been curated by Malafronte florist. As per the dress, Vivian wore a creation of Monique Lhuillier Bride; Mike decided to go for a tailor made green tuxedo.

Experiences to add for a memorable 3 days event

Vivian and Mike also added 2 extra events to their wedding day. The welcome event was at Trattoria da Lorenzo located in Scala, a small village close to Ravello. While enjoying delicious food, guests could taste fresh mozzarella made live, and try hand made sandals. We organised also a corner withe demonstration of how to make fresh pasta. They also added a corner for the typical sandals in order to walk easily in the street of the Amalfi coast. It is always very important to accurately plan the welcome event as it is the first moment in which all your guests gather together for you! It needs to be curated and full of nice things to do in order to get the right start for the wedding celebration. 

The day after the wedding, we moved all guests from Ravello to Nerano at the iconic Conca del Sogno for a relaxed beach day and some fun with the Sgroppino show!
