Youth Wedding party in Ravello

I‘m happy and pleased to tell you about Ines & Joao wedding today.

For many reasons it has been a special event and we are happy to share with our readers all details that made a day like this so different and magic.
We never met our couple before the wedding day but we really loved their approach and style by e-mail .
We were very pleased  they choose us to help them with their wedding planning in Italy.
During the wedding planning we realised immediately they had in mind something special but let’s start from the beginning!

Ines and Joao which are both Spanish citizens chose  Ravello as their destination wedding .

They arrived in town 3 days before with all their family and young friends which was not a huge group but a fantastic one!
On the day before of their wedding they took some time for themselves to have some amazing time along the Amalfi coast.

On the wedding day Ines and Joao got ready in different rooms as tradition wants.

They only met over there in their wedding dresses for the first time in the Catholic church of Santa Maria a Gradillo in Ravello!
The Catholic ceremony was so romantic, our priest Don John did make a very good service.

Ines was absolutely stunning. Every woman loved her elegant silk wedding dress , she was just adorable.

After the ceremony , they wanted to spend some romantic and quality time together before the wedding reception started.
Usually bride and groom go around Ravello for taking  some photos on their own after the ceremony,  this is a a special and sweet moment for their own that they will never forget!

Gianni our photographer and Piero did a great Job .

All the guests were very happy to reach the famous villa Cimbrone for the wedding reception.

The villa is amazing and the view on the coast is fabulous.

A gourmand lunch and lot of fun were the main ingredients to this youth wedding day.

Laughs , games and fun !
The couple’s friends were so great in creating such an enjoyable atmosphere everybody  had a great and unforgettable day…

Congratulations!

If you have your personal wedding planner, ask her what can be the most appropriate songs to each moment of your romantic wedding day.

The prelude songs
Prelude music is played prior to the ceremony as guests are being seated and they wait for the bride to come.
These songs will set the tone for your ceremony , therefore classical or religious musics is commonly played.
Depending on your timeline, you will typically choose 5-6 songs to be played at this time.

The processional songs
The processional songs begins as the immediate family members are ready to be seated . Depending on your ceremony dynamics , you will choose a new songs as your bridal party walks down the aisle

The bridal entrance songs
It is important to choose the perfect song as all the eyes will be on the blushing bride.


Interlude songs
Interlude songs are often used during the ceremony to signify a special moment for the couple. This would be a perfect type of song to play during the lighting of a unity candle.


Recessional songs

Congratulations, you're married! The recessional song celebrates your new commitment and is played as you walk up the aisle together.


Postlude songs
Played while guests leave after the recessional .
As your guests exit, the postlude music should keep with the upbeat mood.

Jewish ceremony in Villa Eva

What a sweet wedding day for our couple from Uk Michelle and Misha .

Misha was born in US but he had Russian origin .

Michelle and Misha perfect day was hold in the famous Venue Villa Eva in Ravello. 

They decided to have the Jewish ceremony and the wedding reception in the same place .

By not having to transfer guests from one location to another it can easily free up an additional hour which is extremely important on the wedding day . Ravello has got beautiful corners and it is an ideal setting for the wedding portraits.

Their wedding is a wonderful example of allowing the wedding space to shine without too much clutter in other details.

Simple, clean, refreshing floral helped adorn the natural environment, working in balance for a romantic style palette.

The Ravello Events was the wedding planner of this special bride and groom .

We helped them with all the wedding arrangement including the accommodation for all their guests, taxi transfers, rehearsal dinner , food and music at the Venue and activities like the boat excursion tour along the Amalfi Coast!

As we normally do, we try to use our instinct since the first touch we have with a couple.

We understand how important a wedding can be particularly to the bride . So, the first thing we do is to listen at the bride and groom’s wedding plans .

Nothing was more important to both Misha & Michelle than loved ones, laughter, music, and good food.

When planning their wedding day, they were sure to make those four passions take the spotlight.

The chuppah was built by the sea view , the white veils and flowers were so spectacular.

The Jewish ceremony itself was so traditional and romantic : the wine moment, the tearfully and giddily exchanged vows, Misha’s glass crushed to roaring sounds of “Mazel Tov.”

There were so many perfect little moments that made their day exceptionally special like during the Jewish ceremony while she was walked by her mum and dad,  Michelle’s cousin’s played a viola while 2 family friends played the piano and a violin.

They made the ceremony very intimate and more personal in having their favourite people playing .

After the ceremony, the Jewish dance with the famous Hora gave the opportunities to have great fun  , Misha was nearly falling down during it!

And speaking of dance, look at their first tango together as husband and wife; looks like it must’ve been quite a production! On the next season of “Dancing With The Stars”…

It was a beautiful day, full of love and joy, which neither of them will ever forget!

Mazel tov, Michelle & Misha!

Our first Argentinian couple..

We are going towards the end of the season and we are pleased to tell you about our lovely couple Mercedes and Pablo who chose Ravello as their wedding destination .

September weddings are beautiful, the  temperature is mild and the days are almost all sunny and beautiful, we highly recommend you to have a wedding in September along the Amalfi coast!

Pablo and Mercedes wanted to have e a real Italian style event but they did not know where to have it!

They came from Argentina and they never visited the town before. Mercedes ‘s mum proposed Ravello as their wedding place because she visited it last year.

So, all their wedding was an amazing surprise but they loved it when they arrived.

The wedding day was very intimate, there were only both parents and Pablo’s brothers and sisters .

Ravello Events wedding planners followed the event on their behalf taking care of all the little details.

Our bride and groom wanted to have a catholic ceremony in the church of Santa Maria a Gradillo and our Priest Don John did satisfy their expectation fully   .

It was very touching seeing her walking with her dad and keeping a rosary beads in her hand .

In many years, this has been the first time I have seen such a beautiful demonstration of faith.

Pablo and  Mercedes are the perfect couple, the half part of the apple , everybody can see how in love they are with each other .

The wedding reception was hold in a romantic restaurant with a breath-taking sea view on the coast.

We arranged an imperial table and they opted for traditional dishes of the area.

Their  honeymoon was in Sicily another beautiful part of our land, how could not they miss it !

Congratulations!

Last minute wedding in Ravello

Today we are pleased to tell you about Jean Lou and Catherine, a lovely couple which asked for our help for the wedding documentation just a month before the wedding day  .

We gave them all the instruction to be followed and they completely trusted us since the beginning.

Their main wish was to get married here in this romantic place , Ravello.

Our bride Catherine was from Uk and Jean Lou was Belgian citizen both living in the UK.

Let us say that It was first of all a very intimate event, only four people: bride and groom and their two witnesses were present at the event.
One of the two witnesses was Jean Lou’s daughter, what a sweet thing!

This very intimate civil ceremony , took place in the Town hall garden of Ravello.

Our bride did not wore a white classical bridal dress but an elegant short fuchsia dress.

What about our groom Jean Lou? He really looks handsome in his suit.

After the civil ceremony, bride groom and the small wedding party went around Ravello for taking their fabulous wedding pictures.

Lucy and Sebastain came here last October
Their first site inspection was not so good, in fact it was a very rainy day but when they saw the Villa Eva and the wedding pictures showed by the wedding Coordinator , they literally felled in love with it.
Less than one year later,  on 24th August 2013, a wonderful sunny day started for Lucy and Sebastian's wedding.
The wedding Ceremony was planned to be in the Duomo main Church in Ravello.
Lucy got ready in the Hotel Villa Fraulo with her family and bridesmaids while Sebastian got dressed in the Hotel Giordano, a nice 4 stars hotel with pool.
The Religious ceremony was held in the superb Duomo of Ravello. A Romanesque style church, bright and beautiful.
The ushers distributed to all the guests lovely order of service .
Bride are normally late so Lucy did  but… just few minutes because Sebastian was waiting for her on the altar.

When she walked into the aisle , it was very touching especially when she reached Sebastian who kissed her tenderly.
The wonderful sound of a violin and harp made all even more magical.

After the Catholic ceremony, all guests waited  outside the church to throw the traditional rice and rose petals made from Ravello Events especially for them.
While all guests reached the villa Eva for the cocktails , our couple went around Ravello for taking their wedding pictures.
It was a great occasion for taking some beautiful shots of them.
Once arrived at the villa , the maître d welcomed them with 2 flutes of Prosecco .
Together to our photographer Alfonso Longobardi they decided to have some group photos on the villa grass , an ideal setting for the photos!

The gorgeous Spaghetti band started playing during the aperitif till midnight. They were amazing!
At about 7.30 pm  the dinner was ready to be served under the marquee .

Traditional Amalfi Coast lemons together to white and yellow flowers,  decorated the wedding tables and some mini bottles of limoncello were used as wedding favours . The atmosphere was perfect!

They moved by the pizzeria area for the cutting of the wedding cake, a three tiers cake… beautiful!
As grand final bride and groom first dance and then dancing with a DJ till 2.00 a.m.
What a great party!
