Ravello catholic ceremony

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!

Getting married in Villa Eva Ravello

There is a special corner close to Ravello main centre, it is a wonderful , private villa with gorgeous gardens and wonderful sceneries on the coast .

One year ago when Fiona & Marc came over to find the perfect venue on this spot of Italy, they found the best wedding reception venue they could have never dreamed.

Fiona & Marc wanted to have their wedding abroad and they choose the Amalfi Coast for their destination wedding.

They simply felled in love with this Wedding venue and its pleasant atmosphere .
They really wanted to have a symbolic blessing in the Villa grounds .

Their wedding day was blessed with a wonderful sun and mild temperature , the Symbolic blessing was set in the private garden with sea view .

Our celebrant Phil performed a smart Symbolic blessing .

The wedding Ceremony was beautifully accompanied by the pianist  , it created the perfect atmosphere for this romantic event.

The arrival of the two bridesmaids first and then the bride was very Scenography , they all walked on the rose petals carpet  created by Armando Malafronte that matched perfectly Fiona’s theme based on white and green.

The outdoor symbolic ceremony had a natural breath-taking setting thanks to the extraordinary view on the Amalfi Coast sea.
Right after the ceremony the aperitif was served in the garden with traditional Italian Kiosk .
The staff of the villa presented a delicious and scenic aperitif in the garden.
All guests enjoyed the Italian prosecco , cocktails and the lovely canapés accompanied by a traditional mandolin and guitar players.

The dinner was served under the elegant marquee , the wedding table centrepieces  choose by Fiona and Marc were square glass vases with ivory flowers.

Fiona and Marc could not imagine anything more than this: the food was delicious, the atmosphere very warm and the service very good.

The dinner ended with a traditional wedding cake cut at midnight but the after dinner party went on with music and open bar with a great DJ set  until 2.00 a.m.

Congratulations Fiona & Marc!

A special thank to our photographers Gianni for his  great shots and for his professionalism!

Protestant Wedding in Villa Eva

We met Felicity and Darren last winter after Christmas time.

They came to Ravello for visiting our most popular Wedding Venues .
We immediately had a good feeling with them.
In fact they said that after the visit they had no doubt about entrusting us with the most special day of their lives.
Our couple decided to get married in the beautiful town of Ravello .
They decided to have a lovely wedding along the Amalfi Coast last September with a lot of British guests.

Ravello in summer is simply stunning and romantic, but their wedding day was simply amazing with such a blue sky reflected in the sea below!
The night before Felicity and Darren invited all the guests to their pre wedding dinner night.
The whole group met at the Pizzeria da Salvatore for tasting the starters and the best Italian Pizza .
This was a successful night, all the wedding party were enthusiastic about the stunning view on the Coast admired from this typical Italian pizzeria .

On her wedding day, Felicity was such a beautiful and refined bride!
Her wedding dress was particularly elegant and her hair tied in a chignon was so chic!
She was simply stunning.

The couple got married in St. Maria a Gradillo Church with a Methodist legally binding ceremony .
The church was arranged all in  white : white flowers, white carpet , white kneeler and white candles.

At the end of the Methodist ceremony, they moved all the guests in the near Piazza and they offered a traditional Italian wedding aperitif in the main square of Ravello.
The wedding reception took place in the private and exclusive Villa Eva .
As a table decoration, they decided to have a white lantern which symbolized the fire of their love.
They had  a very good dinner with local dishes shared with their wonderful group of relatives and friends .
A special thanks to Mike Garrad for the beautiful shots and to this special couple that agreed to publish their shots on our blog!

What a wonderful wedding day!
