Our Wedding

Our Story

About the venue

Our wedding will take place at a beautiful villa just outside Taormina, set high above the sea with breathtaking views of the Sicilian coast. The villa’s gardens provide a romantic outdoor setting where both the ceremony and dinner will be held under the open sky, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mediterranean.

Adults-only event

We are celebrating our wedding as an intimate gathering with our closest friends and loved ones. To keep the atmosphere personal and relaxed, the event will be adults-only, so we kindly ask you to join us without children for this special evening together.

Summer Formal With A Coastal Twist

Dress to celebrate—flowy, colourful and long dresses, tailored suits, and polished accessories. Keep it light, breezy, and beautiful. (No black ties, but elegance is welcome.)

The most important thing is to have you with us on our special day. No gifts are needed or expected. We have been asked what we need or would like. If you do wish to give us something, you can either gift us art or contribute to our honeymoon. We would love something we can decorate our future home with - be it a painting, a framed photograph, pottery, or something else.

✈️ Getting ThereThe closest airport is Catania Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) – about 1 hour by car from Taormina.Direct flights are available from major European cities like Rome, Milan, Paris, Frankfurt, and London. 🚗 Getting AroundPrivate transfer or taxi from Catania Airport to Taormina is the easiest option—especially for international guests.Car rental is not necessary for enjoying Taormina itself, as the town is walkable and parking is limited.If guests plan to explore the surrounding countryside or beaches before or after the wedding, renting a car makes sense.

Travel

Taormina is a jewel of Sicily, perched high above the Ionian Sea with breathtaking views of Mount Etna. Founded by the ancient Greeks in the 4th century BC, the town has long been a retreat for poets, artists, and travelers seeking beauty and inspiration. Its centerpiece is the remarkably well-preserved Greek Theatre, still used today for concerts and events—with the sea and volcano as a dramatic backdrop. Wander through Corso Umberto, lined with boutiques, cafés, and piazzas. Just below the town, explore the pebble beach and nature reserve of Isola Bella, accessible by a short cable car ride. For the adventurous, a day trip to Mount Etna offers hiking and wine tasting on the slopes of Europe’s most active volcano. Or simply relax with a granita, soak in the views, and enjoy Taormina’s timeless charm.
