Weddings
Our agency can organize the whole program of a wedding, coordinate all the services requested by the clients and assign one of our team members to assist in personal paperwork. We provide only the best for the couple and their guests to seize the most special experience, not only their wedding ceremony, but for the entire time they spend on our beautiful island.
The ceremony and reception can be organized anywhere on the island depending on the client’s interests. They can be hosted at a chapel with a view of the Caldera, or on a balcony/terrace of one of our cooperating hotels located on the cliff with a breathtaking view, overlooking the sea and the volcano.
Ceremonies and receptions can also take place in a winery or even on an old-style sailing boat. The choices are many so that the clients have a variety of options to simply choose from.
Furthermore, the clients may simply inform us of their ideal wedding location, so that we can find the ideal venue to match their interests. The most significant experience of a lifetime can be organized and accomplished tailored to the couple’s request.
We request at least two dates of choice in order to cross-check with the Town Hall and Celebrant’s schedule. An important note- if a sunset ceremony is requested, we need to be informed of the dates of request as soon as possible in order to guarantee the booking, since requests for this kind of ceremony are high.
