How to organize your own wedding on the Amalfi coast - Do it yourself

Amalfi
Hello everyone, we're Laura and Steve. We love the Amalfi coast and our family organized four weddings there over the last few years, since three of my four sisters got married in this corner of paradise. Year after year we got to know the place, and the wedding planning business more and more, so we thought we might share some information with other brides and grooms to be who could use a few hints. Don't get us wrong, all our weddings were absolutely great, but after the first few times we realized that we could get a more personal wedding, and save quite a bit of money, organizing things ourselves.
It's really a lot easier than what it seems, especially if you plan ahead a bit. Start by contacting a hotel for accommodation (if you are a big group you could try to ask the hotel for a special offer), or you could also try contacting some smaller establishments (like bed and breakfasts) for some of your guests.
The hotel you choose will book the cocktail hour and reception, and can suggest a church or a townhall for the ceremony (each town on the amalfi coast has both), then you just need one or more musicians for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, a florist for decorations, and a photographer.
Plus hotel management is usually very helpful if you book your wedding reception with them, and a few rooms for bride, groom, and guests. So they might contact the church, or townhall for you, organize transfers, and make everything much easier. While florists can also provide hair and make up stylists.
Below you'll find some links to some of our favourite Amalfi coast hotels, musicians, florists, etc. to help you plan your own perfect Amalfi coast wedding (most popular locations are: Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, Furore). And of course you can use the internet to find more information and contacts...

Have a great one!
Laura and Steve
