Coast, volcano, islands and farming estates around the Bay of Naples
Inland from Naples the land is volcanic soil and farming estates. Fiano di Avellino, buffalo mozzarella from Caserta and San Marzano tomatoes all come from here, so a wedding in the interior sits close to the source of the food.
The wedding market runs on two tracks. The Amalfi Coast and Capri carry international premiums, driven by demand and limited supply. Inland Campania, the Nola basin, the Cilento coast and the hill farms above Sorrento offer a different market with different prices.

When to get married
October is a strong month. The sea is still warm, the crowds have left and the harvest is in: grapes, late tomatoes and mushrooms from the Cilento hills. May and June bring reliable weather and full light. The Amalfi road is hard going for guests in July and August, so those months suit boat-only transfers and an experienced planner.
Getting there
How guests arrive
The Amalfi Coast road, the SS163, is narrow and subject to traffic control in peak season. Guest transfers for coastal weddings should be run by specialist local operators, and boat transfers between Amalfi, Positano and Ravello are often faster and more reliable than the road in July and August.
Naples Capodichino (NAP). The main gateway for Campania, with direct routes from London, Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt and other European hubs. Intercontinental guests usually connect through Rome.
Rome Fiumicino (FCO). The main gateway for North American and intercontinental guests. The high-speed train from Rome to Naples is reliable, and many guests prefer it to the road.
Salerno-Costa d'Amalfi (QSR). A small regional airport south of Salerno with a growing summer charter schedule from the UK and northern Europe. It is the closest airport to Cilento and Paestum.
Where guests stay
Under one roof, or nearby
Campania covers a wide range of wedding settings, from the clifftop Amalfi Coast to the volcanic landscape around Vesuvius and the baroque palaces of Naples.
Amalfi Coast
Positano, Ravello and Amalfi anchor the top end. Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo in Ravello are celebrated ceremony venues and book far ahead.
Naples Historic Centre
The UNESCO-listed centre has been renovated, and several converted aristocratic palazzi take private events.
Sorrento Peninsula
The plateau between Naples and the Amalfi Coast has a wider range of hotels at more accessible prices, with water taxis to Capri and Positano.
Ischia
The volcanic island at the northern end of the Bay of Naples has thermal spa hotels and a quieter atmosphere than Capri. It is reached by ferry from Naples.

Eating and drinking in Campania
Campania is the home of pizza and Neapolitan pastry, and its food rests on volcanic soil, buffalo milk and San Marzano tomatoes.
Pizza Napoletana
The soft-centred, blistered pizza of Naples, protected in the EU as a traditional speciality. The Margherita and Marinara are the canonical versions, made with San Marzano tomatoes.
Mozzarella di Bufala
A protected fresh cheese made from buffalo milk on the plains around Caserta and Salerno. It is richer than cow's milk mozzarella and is served fresh.
Sfogliatella
A shell-shaped pastry filled with semolina, ricotta and candied orange. The flaky riccia version is harder to make than the shortcrust frolla, and it is a Neapolitan breakfast pastry.
Good to know
Before you book
Naples Capodichino
Naples airport lies close to the city centre and has direct flights from several UK and European airports. Transfers to the Amalfi Coast use the SS163, which is slow in summer, so a busy July afternoon needs generous time.
Pompeii and Herculaneum
Both sites are within reach of central Naples and suit a wedding itinerary. Herculaneum is smaller, better preserved and less crowded than Pompeii. Timed tickets should be booked ahead in summer.
The Amalfi Coast road
The SS163 is a single-carriageway road shared by buses, coaches and delivery vehicles, and it is hazardous when wet. For evening transfers after a reception, minibuses with experienced local drivers are better than self-drive hire cars.
Vesuvius views and safety planning
Outdoor ceremonies at venues with a direct view of Vesuvius fall under the monitoring authority's evacuation protocols. There is no practical risk for a short visit, but venues in the Vesuvian red zone should give guests the local emergency plan.
Entering Italy
UK and Canadian visitors may stay up to 90 days in any 180. ETIAS is not yet operating, and the Entry/Exit System has run since 10 April 2026. Check the guidance for your own passport.
Marrying legally in Italy
Checked 5 November 2026The ceremony
A civil marriage at the town hall (the comune) has legal effect. A Catholic ceremony can carry civil effect. A non-Catholic religious ceremony needs a civil ceremony first.
The paperwork
A foreign partner needs a nulla osta, or its embassy equivalent. Documents from outside the EU need an apostille and an Italian translation, and must be under six months old.
On the day
Two adult witnesses with photo ID are required, and an interpreter if a spouse or witness does not speak Italian. Each comune sets its own checklist, so contact the one that will marry you well ahead.

Questions couples ask
Before you decide
Is the Amalfi Coast road as difficult as people say?
In peak season, yes. The SS163 is among the most congested roads in Italy in July and August. For a coastal wedding in summer, boat transfers between guest hotels and the venue are essential, and a specialist transport coordinator should be part of the budget.
Can a ceremony be held at the Greek temples in Paestum?
Civil ceremonies at the archaeological site need authorisation from the Italian Ministry of Culture and depend on availability. Private access for photography and celebrant-led ceremonies is easier to arrange. It is not a standard venue booking and needs contacts within the regional archaeological authority.
How does inland Campania compare with the Amalfi Coast?
Inland venues offer more space, easier logistics and accommodation on site for all guests, at lower total cost. The food is close to its source. The trade-off is the loss of coastal views.
What sets Campania apart from other southern regions for weddings?
The range. Clifftop coast, Greek ruins, volcanic landscape, royal palaces and farming estates lie within one region, so a planner can build an itinerary across several settings in a wedding week.
How far is the Cilento from Naples?
Paestum lies south of Naples, a drive of some length by road. Guests flying into Naples can transfer directly to a Cilento venue. Salerno airport also handles summer charters and can shorten the journey.
