Positano Wedding Planner
Intimate Weddings on the Amalfi Coast
Positano is the Amalfi Coast at its most iconic. The pastel buildings stacked against the cliffside. The ceramic steps leading down to the Spiaggia Grande. The bougainvillea. The blue. For couples who have dreamed of Italy since they were young, Positano is often the place they picture first.
Planning a wedding here requires someone who knows it well not just its beauty, but its logistics. The narrow roads. The seasonal rhythms. The vendors worth trusting. The ceremony locations that offer genuine privacy without sacrificing the view.
I am Giuliana, and this coastline is home. I plan intimate weddings and elopements in Positano for couples from the US, UK, Australia, and beyond and I bring to each one the kind of attention that only comes from genuinely knowing a place.
Ceremony Locations in Positano
The Church of Santa Maria Assunta with its majolica-tiled dome overlooking the sea is one of the most recognisable wedding venues in the world. For couples seeking a religious ceremony in a setting of extraordinary beauty, it remains unmatched.
For symbolic and civil ceremonies with complete flexibility, Positano offers a range of private villa terraces, clifftop gardens, and boutique hotel settings with panoramic views. I work with a carefully selected group of venues never the obvious ones that every planner uses to find the setting that feels genuinely right for each couple.
The hillside terraces above the village offer a perspective that most visitors never see: looking down over Positano toward the sea, with the Faraglioni in the distance. This is where ceremony light is at its most extraordinary in late afternoon, between 5 and 7pm in summer.
Planning a Positano Wedding from Abroad
The majority of couples I work with in Positano are based in the US, UK, or Australia. They have discovered this coastline through travel, through a honeymoon, through a photograph that stayed with them. They want their wedding to feel exactly like that moment unhurried, beautiful, and entirely their own.
Planning across time zones is something I do every day. All communication happens in English. Video calls are scheduled around your availability. Every decision is documented and shared in a planning system you can access at any time.
The result is a wedding that feels locally crafted — because it is — and logistically flawless, because that is what I do.
Positano Wedding: Practical Information
Symbolic vs civil ceremony
A symbolic ceremony in Positano can take place in any private location and requires no official paperwork. Many couples choose to marry legally at home before travelling, then celebrate their symbolic ceremony in Positano with the people they love. This removes administrative complexity while giving you the full experience of an Italian wedding.
Civil ceremonies in Positano are registered at the Comune di Positano. Requirements vary for different nationalities. I guide couples through the full process.
Best time of year
May, June, and September are the ideal months for a Positano wedding. The weather is warm and reliable, the light is extraordinary, and the village has not yet reached peak-summer density. October is increasingly popular for couples who want quieter streets and a golden autumn palette.
