FAQ - Wedding Day

The dress code for our wedding is formal/semi-formal. The rules of the Duomo di Ravello (location of wedding ceremony) are traditional. Women are recommended to bring something to cover their shoulders during the ceremony if possible.

What will the weather be like?
The ceremony will be held indoors at Duomo di Ravello. The remainder of the wedding celebrations – from Prosecco in the piazza to after-dinner dancing - will be held outdoors.
