In short: An Amalfi Coast wedding for 50 guests costs roughly €11,000 to €29,000 for venue, food and drink alone, by our sums from venue price documents summarised by Tulle Together, while wedding sites put a whole wedding at €40,000 to €85,000 on average. Positano, Sorrento and Amalfi hotels sit at very different price points, and the town hall fee for a legal ceremony runs from €200 to €1,800 depending on the town, the room and the day. Below we show every figure with its source and its year, as of November 2026.
What an Amalfi Coast wedding costs in total
Nobody publishes official statistics for this coast, so the totals below come from planners and wedding sites describing their own market. Treat them as indications, not averages.
- The site Wedding Frontier (August 2023) puts the average Amalfi Coast wedding at €40,000 to €85,000, with the venue at €20,000 to €50,000.
- Wedding Sparrow (October 2022, with tips from the venue Villa Astor) gives €50,000 as the average for 70 guests.
- The planner estimates for 2025 and 2026 on Weddings Abroad Guide put a Positano wedding at €25,000 to €35,000 at the low end and €50,000 to €70,000 or more at the high end, with catering at €150 to €200 a head and full-service planning at €4,000 to €12,000.
The same Positano page shows what a small, late-season wedding cost: 30 guests in October 2019 at Hotel Marincanto came to about €11,000 in total, which the page says was heavily discounted because it fell at the end of the season, and it warns that prices have risen a lot since. Wedding Frontier lists the other lines in dollars: planner $1,500 to $3,000 for light help, $3,000 to $6,000 mid-range and $6,000 to $10,000 or more full service; flowers and decor $2,000 to $7,000; live musicians $1,500 to $5,000; hair and makeup $549 to $1,097. Convert at the day’s rate.

Alex & Georgi · Positano · see the full wedding →Amalfi Coast wedding venues with prices
Most venues here do not publish a price list. The most useful public figures come from Tulle Together (October 2026), which summarises venue pricing documents collected for its price-transparency project. They are summaries of the venues’ own documents, not current price lists, and most carry no year, so ask each venue for its current quote. Prices below are per person unless stated.
| Venue | Hire | Food and drink |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel Marincanto, Positano | 2026 symbolic ceremony on the Red Bar Terrace €4,000 incl. VAT; Terrace Cele dinner for 30 to 50 guests, €1,500 to €2,500 rental for smaller groups, waived for 45 to 50 adults | Aperitif €50 to €110; dinner €170 to €195 |
| Villa Antiche Mura, Sorrento | 2026 exclusive use €3,000 to €7,500 for eight hours, by season and weekday; indoor dining up to 120 | Aperitif €35 to €55; buffet €140 to €165; three courses €130 to €190 |
| Hotel Mediterraneo, Sorrento | €8,000 for eight hours of exclusive use of two reception spaces, at least 80 adults | Aperitif €35 to €50; gala meal €165 to €230 |
| Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel | Ceremony €2,000 to €3,000, only with a reception; Monk’s Walk space €3,900 for up to 60 guests | Menus €289 to €339 incl. aperitivo; drinks +€59 to €99 |
| Giardini del Fuenti, Vietri sul Mare | Buyout €8,000 to €20,000 a day by season; some spaces up to 300 guests | Menus from €220 excl. VAT; €40,000 food and drink minimum June to September |
Check whether a quote includes VAT. In the same source Anantara says all its prices include VAT, Villa Antiche Mura says so for its three-course menu and Hotel Mediterraneo for its gala meals, Marincanto states it only for the ceremony fee, and Giardini del Fuenti quotes without it. Anantara also asks for four to ten room nights in selected months.
Amalfi Coast wedding cost for 20, 50 and 100 guests
These sums use only the venue, food and drink prices from the table above, so they leave out the planner, flowers, music, hair and makeup, photo and film, and the town hall fee. They are our estimates from published ranges, not quotes.
| Guests | Positano: Marincanto | Sorrento: Antiche Mura | Amalfi: Anantara |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Terrace is for 30 to 50; for 30 guests: €8,100 to €11,650 | €6,300 to €12,400 | €12,860 to €15,660 |
| 50 | €11,000 to €15,250 | €11,250 to €19,750 | €23,300 to €28,800 |
| 100 | Too large | €19,500 to €32,000 | Space holds 60 |
How we got them: each cell is hire plus aperitif plus dinner for the guest count (at Anantara, ceremony fee, room, menu and drinks package). For example, for Antiche Mura with 50 guests, hire €3,000 to €7,500 plus three courses at €130 to €190 (€6,500 to €9,500) plus aperitif at €35 to €55 (€1,750 to €2,750) gives €11,250 to €19,750. For 100 guests at Hotel Mediterraneo the same method gives €28,000 to €36,000 (€8,000 hire, gala meal €16,500 to €23,000, aperitif €3,500 to €5,000). A Giardini del Fuenti wedding in June to September cannot fall below the €40,000 minimum plus €8,000 to €20,000 for the buyout.
the guest count and the day of the week move your bill more than the town does. Ask each venue for a written quote for your exact count, with VAT shown, before you compare.
Town hall fees: Positano, Ravello, Sorrento and Amalfi
For a legal ceremony the town hall (comune) charges a fee for using its room or terrace. Each town sets its own, and the official pages below are of different ages, so we give the year of each tariff next to it. Confirm the current rate with the comune before you book.
| Town | Fee for non-residents | Tariff date |
|---|---|---|
| Positano | €1,000 Mon to Fri; €1,800 Saturday | 2024 rates (page updated April 2025) |
| Ravello | €650 Mon to Thu; €850 Fri to Sun and holidays | Tariff from January 2019 |
| Sorrento | €750 weekday mornings; €1,000 Mon, Wed, Fri afternoons; €1,200 Saturday | Low season, 15 Nov to 15 Mar (page updated March 2026) |
| Amalfi | €200 to €800 by room, day and season | Page dated September 2023 |
In Amalfi the page lists one rate for everyone except residents and children of Amalfitani, who pay €77. The Salone Morelli in the town hall costs €350 on weekdays in office hours and €650 at weekends; the Arsenale della Repubblica €500 to €800. The former convent of the Cappuccini costs €300 on weekdays and €400 at weekends, or €200 from 3 November to 31 March, plus a separate payment of €1,150 (a terrace) or €1,650 (the cloister) plus VAT to the hotel, which the September 2023 page names as NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi. Sorrento’s page gives its schedule only under the low-season heading and no table for the other months, so ask the registry for the rate for your date.

Positano wedding cost and Positano wedding packages
Positano’s published venue figures are for small groups: the Marincanto dinner terrace takes 30 to 50 guests. Adding up the sourced figures, a Positano hotel wedding for 30 guests lands around €8,100 to €11,650 for venue and food, plus the €1,000 to €1,800 town hall fee (2024 rates) if you marry legally. The 2019 Positano wedding on Weddings Abroad Guide budgeted €250 for a boat trip to Capri and paid €500 for ceremony musicians.
True all-inclusive packages are rare. What exists is closer to the €4,000 elopement package for two that Marincanto lists (one night in a suite, ceremony setup, Prosecco and a five-course tasting menu, per Tulle Together, no year given). For a full wedding, ask a planner to price it line by line; our shortlist is in Top Amalfi Coast Wedding Planners. We have photographed weddings here, for example Kyrisma and Benjamin at Villa Dalu in Positano.
Ravello wedding cost and Ravello wedding venues
The Ravello town hall offers two spaces for civil weddings, the Salone di Rappresentanza in the Casa Comunale and the Giardini della Principessa di Piemonte, at €650 to €850 for non-residents under the tariff in force since January 2019, free if one of you lives in Ravello (comune page, which also advises booking the date well in advance). That page does not mention Villa Rufolo or Villa Cimbrone. We found no public price list for either, so ask them directly. Ravello sits high above the sea, so it has no beach of its own; for a seaside setting look at Positano, Amalfi or Vietri sul Mare.
The town also charges a tourist tax. Its official tariff sheet (rates set in March 2019) says €3 to €5 per person per night from 1 April to 31 October, for up to seven nights, with €5 at four- and five-star hotels and under-16s exempt. Ask your hotel for the current rate.
Sorrento wedding venues, packages and cost
Sorrento has the lowest venue hire in our table: Villa Antiche Mura from €3,000 for eight hours, while Hotel Mediterraneo charges €8,000 and needs at least 80 adults. The town hall rate for a weekday morning is €750 against €1,200 on Saturday, as listed for the low season (15 November to 15 March). The civil ceremony can take place in the Chiostro di San Francesco, a cloister, in Villa Fiorentino, a park run by the Fondazione Sorrento, or in Museo Correale di Terranova, the only venue that marries on Sundays, per the town hall’s page. That page gives no separate fee for the cloister, so ask the registry (statocivile@comune.sorrento.na.it). We have photographed several Sorrento weddings, including Silvio and Erika at Hotel Mediterraneo.
Capri wedding venues and cost
We could not find a current Capri fee list on the town hall’s site. An article from 2016 reported €1,500 for non-residents at the Capri comune and €500 for tourists marrying in the town hall itself; treat that as history, not a price. Ask the Capri registry for today’s fee and for which outdoor locations they still authorise. Hotel venues on the island rarely publish rates, and we have no sourced figure for them.
Taxes and extras people forget
- VAT: Italy’s standard VAT (IVA) rate is 22%, with a reduced rate of 10% among others, per the EU’s VAT rates table; which one applies depends on the service. Giardini del Fuenti, for example, quotes without VAT, so ask every supplier whether a price is “IVA inclusa”.
- Tourist tax: per person per night in hotels, set by each town; we found an official sheet only for Ravello.
- Documents: your own embassy or registry charges for its side; see our legal guide below.
- Transfers: the 2019 Positano couple budgeted €250 for a boat to Capri. Ask for boat and van prices for your group.
- Interpreter: the Positano, Ravello and Amalfi pages require one if you or your witnesses do not speak Italian; in Amalfi the interpreter is sworn in.
What photo and film cost with us
Photography and film packages from €1,390, with no extra travel fees. Photo and film are priced the same, each on its own: 5 hours €1,390; 6 hours €1,590; 7 hours €1,790; 8 hours €1,990; full day with no time limit €2,190. Photo plus film is the plain sum, from €2,780 and €4,380 for a full day. For comparison, Wedding Frontier gives $3,840 to $7,132 for an Amalfi Coast photographer and $1,097 to $3,292 for video. See our prices and calculator, or our page for a wedding photographer in Italy. For access notes, read Positano: stairs and boat logistics.
Jacky & Jordan · Positano · see the full wedding →Three ways to spend less
- Choose a weekday. Sorrento’s town hall fee is €750 on a weekday morning and €1,200 on Saturday (low-season list); Positano’s is €1,000 against €1,800 (2024 rates).
- Marry outside peak season. Villa Antiche Mura’s rental runs €3,000 to €7,500 by season and day, Amalfi’s convent room costs €200 from November to March, and the October 2019 Positano wedding was discounted.
- Keep the group inside the venue’s size. Marincanto waives its terrace rental at 45 to 50 adults, while Hotel Mediterraneo needs at least 80.
ask for the town hall fee, the venue minimum and VAT in writing, then add the planner and photo lines yourself. Those are the three numbers that surprise couples.
What the paperwork costs and where the steps are
For a legal wedding each of you needs a nulla osta, a document from your own country’s authority stating that nothing stops you marrying. Which document that is, and whether it needs an apostille, legalisation at the Prefettura or a translation, depends on your passport. The Amalfi and Ravello pages also ask for passports for you and your two witnesses and a declaration signed at least two days before the ceremony. The official fees for the documents are small (for example £50 plus £50 for UK citizens, CAD 50 per nulla osta for Canadians), and the steps by nationality, including civil unions for same-sex couples, are in our guide Getting Married in Italy as a Foreigner. Your embassy and the comune have the final word. Many couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony here instead; Sorrento’s low-season list charges 10% less for a symbolic ceremony.

How much does a Positano wedding cost?
Planner estimates for 2025 and 2026 on Weddings Abroad Guide start at €25,000 to €35,000. By our sums, venue, food and drink for 30 guests at Hotel Marincanto come to €8,100 to €11,650, plus €1,000 to €1,800 for a legal ceremony (2024 town hall rates).
Which Amalfi Coast wedding venues are affordable or small?
Villa Antiche Mura in Sorrento (from €3,000 hire) and Hotel Marincanto’s terrace for 30 to 50 guests, per Tulle Together. Anantara’s Monk’s Walk holds up to 60 but costs more.
Are there all-inclusive packages with accommodation?
Mostly for two people: Marincanto lists a €4,000 elopement package with a suite. Anantara asks couples to commit to four to ten room nights in selected months. For larger weddings, ask each venue what is included in the hire.
What does a wedding planner cost on the Amalfi Coast?
Wedding Frontier (2023) lists $1,500 to $10,000 or more, depending on how much you hand over, and the Positano estimates on Weddings Abroad Guide give €4,000 to €12,000 for full-service planning. Ask for a written scope.
Are there Ravello wedding packages or banquet prices?
We found no public package or banquet price list for Ravello venues. The only official figure is the town hall’s €650 to €850 ceremony fee for non-residents (tariff from 2019), so request written quotes from the venues you like.
Can we marry on the beach in Ravello?
No, Ravello has no beach. Its civil ceremonies take place in the Casa Comunale hall or the Giardini della Principessa di Piemonte.
What are the cloisters in Sorrento and what does the ceremony cost?
The Chiostro di San Francesco is a cloister the town hall uses for civil weddings. The registry fee is €750 to €1,200 for non-residents in the low-season list, and the town hall page shows no separate fee for the cloister; confirm both with the registry.
