Spotlight on : Hotel Marincanto, Positano

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest challenges of the past year has been the separation from loved ones. Never more will we fail to appreciate the simple pleasure of just being with loved ones, enjoying each other’s company, with no restrictions on time or place. And when better to spend quality time with those nearest and dearest to you than on your wedding day?

Intimate weddings may have fewer people, but that doesn’t mean they’re less perfect. Whether you dream of music and movement, or silence and solitude, an intimate wedding can still encompass all of the elements of your dream day. With more time for yourselves and those closest to you, intimate weddings can be more significant and less stressful. You can focus your finances on what really matters or splash out on something more spectacular.

When I think of the perfect setting for an intimate ceremony or celebration on the Amalfi Coast, one venue, in particular, always comes to mind. With its spellbinding scenic views, the Hotel Marincanto in Positano is the perfect venue for an intimate affair.

Ceremony

Imagine, on some enchanted summer evening, standing on a terracotta-tiled terrace, overlooking the blissfully beautiful backdrop of Positano, with the air perfumed by local blooms, while you exchange rings. As the most unique and personal ceremony option, a symbolic wedding is ideal for an intimate celebration at the Hotel Marincanto. Emotional experiences or amusing anecdotes can be shared - just with those who know, understand and appreciate them. The exchange of rings can be immediately followed by the clink of glasses, as you and your select gathering of guests toast your new life in the same place where it began.

Celebrations

After saying ‘I do’, either at the hotel or another of Positano’s stunning ceremony venues, you and your exclusive wedding party can share an exquisite fine dining reception at the Hotel Marincanto. Seated with your small, but specially selected group of guests on the aptly named ‘Terrazza dei Limoni’, you can enjoy a truly personal experience, sipping prosecco and sampling fresh local delights crafted by the chefs of ‘Terrazza Celé’ - the Marincanto’s renowned restaurant. If your wedding party is a little larger, you can have exclusive access to the terrace for the evening of your event. Accompanied by a magical mandolin and guitar duo, a lively local band or even simply the sound of the sea, you and your private party will feel like VIPs as you twist, twirl or simply talk the night away.

Comforts

How wonderful would it be to wake to the sounds of the ocean? To step out onto your private terrace and sigh at the splendour of the ‘vertical city’? To enjoy freshly baked breakfast pastries with a latte in your large and luxurious living room? Or bathe in the bubbles of your secluded jacuzzi pool? An intimate wedding doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some indulgence during your stay in Positano. The Hotel Marincanto’s heavenly honeymoon suite ‘L’incanto’ is famed for its divine décor and amazing amenities. It allows couples a chance to really spoil themselves and experience some dolce vita - both before and after their destination wedding day.
