NEW AIRPORT OPENED - Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport, (closer to Maratea & Cilento than Naples airport) 

The Maratea & Cilento Coast is a stunning and unspoiled stretch of coastline located in the neighboring Basilicata & Campania regions of southern Italy and the Cilento Coast is the "new Amalfi" but less expensive & less touristy. 

Book your wedding with Slow Dreams and see what we have seen and always known about this beautiful, authentic & undiscovered paradise of Italy that we had coined "Italy's Last Hideway"  back 
in 2003 when we started our journey.

We Give The Bride & Groom Peace Of Mind

  • You can change your wedding in Italy  contract significantly for most things right up to several weeks before the wedding. This eliminates the stress of wondering how many guests will come, what meals they want.
  • We offer a three  payment schedule with most of the payment due only several weeks before the wedding.  See our policies and fees.
  • This site clearly lists ALL  wedding costs, fees, and taxes - so you will have a solid idea of the cost of your wedding in Italy even before contacting us.  All prices include all taxes, unless, in  rare circumstances, explicitly stated.
  • We meet you after you arrive at your hotel or villa and go through the details in person.
  • We personally escort you to the town-hall to lodge your approval paperwork for civil wedding.
  • We offer a guide to help with getting the final paperwork in Rome, Florence and Naples.
  • Above all, we care for your wedding guests. We have a concierge service, free of charge,  that will make reservations for your guests for hotel, hair, make-up, spa, and airport transfers. This service is also there to personally answer your guests' questions  -  guests also want a relaxed & memorable experience as well.

We Make  Italy Weddings Affordable

  • Low cost of services  -  since we bring a lot of business to the various service providers (florist, photographer, etc.),  we strongly negotiate prices with then  and, importantly,  publish those prices on this site for you to see even  before contacting us.    Have a look at our cost and prices (all taxes are  included)  -  you will find these costs to be simply low.  The average cost of an Italian wedding with Slow Dreams is a fraction of the average cost of a wedding,  for example, in the UK or the US.
  • Italy's Best Kept Secret  -  We offer a lot of venues in  the Coast of Maratea & The Cilento - Traveler Magazine says "Maratea is Heaven - It's The Amalfi Without The Crowds.... Italy's Best Kept Secret".  beside being one of the lower cost areas of Italy,  most  mayors of this region will conduct outdoor ceremonies at the venue of your choice -  saving the significant  cost of having a symbolic ceremony in addition to the civil town-hall marriage costs.
  • A wide range of differently priced venues  -  there are venue prices to fit all types of budget from the low to the extremely high.   See list of venues.
 



We make your wedding experience relaxed, we will:

  • Meet you when you arrive at your hotel or villa and go through the details in person
  • We will personally escort you to the town-hall to lodge your approval paperwork for civil wedding
  • This site clearly lists ALL wedding costs, fees, and taxes - so you will have a solid idea of the cost of your wedding in Italy even before contacting us.

We Make Weddings In Italy Flexible


Flexibility - not a subject discussed much in wedding web-sites  - but so important for peace of mind,  so important for a relaxed wedding.  Most of our Italian wedding venues offer a great deal of flexibility.
  • Venue Choice - We offer a large variety  of venues, and types of Italy Weddings.
  • Marry Where You Want   -  in many of our venues,  the mayors and ministers  will marry you at the venue of YOUR choice - hotels, villas, churches, beaches, etc.  You are NOT restricted to just town-halls and Catholic churches, as is the case  for most Italy weddings.
  • Outdoor Weddings Italy  -  Many of our  mayors and ministers offer outdoor ceremonies.  Unfortunately Catholic weddings in Italy are still restricted to a church - however, we do offer a great choice of beautiful and historic churches.
  • Last Minute Weddings Italy/Elope to Italy  and No Hassle Approval (U.S. citizens only)-  We offer last minute weddings and simplified approvals -  who can use the services is quite constricted  -  Contact Us to see if this approval fits you - We Make Italian  Weddings Flexible and Easier.

The no hassle/last minute approval service is truly no-hassle for U.S. citizens. You simply make appointments at the American Consulate in Naples, Italy and bring your passports and non-translated divorce papers (if applicable) and fill out & sign the Dichiarazione Giurata (Sworn Statement) in front of a consular officer. Then bring those documents with stamps to the Prefettura in Naples for authentication.  We offer a local guide service for the Prefettura.  Note:  This no-hassle service is available ONLY for 2 towns in Southern Italy.   
  • Note:  For those who cannot get last minute approval, we offer symbolic ceremonies from either a local mayor  (identical to a legal Italian wedding, but not legal) or a minister or simply have a friend be the celebrant.
  • Non-Catholic Church Italian Weddings  -  We have churches that allow for non-Catholic religious weddings,   including, for example,  the Church of Our Lady  of The Snow & Olives, a small historic church with ancient frescoes  situated alone  on a mountain-top cliff overlooking -  the sea, the historic red-tiled roof town of Maratea with its 44 churches, the world class Coast of Maratea,  and two national parks,  the Cilento and Pollino.
  • Bring Your Own Celebrant  -  Bring your own priest (most of our churches allow this, but not all), minister, rabbi, etc. 
  • Italian Weddings For  Woman Divorced  LESS than 300 days -  We have certain mayors who ignore the 300 day arcane law for Italian weddings that prohibits woman from marrying within 300 days  of their divorce.

We Make Access To Rest Of Italy Easy


Many couples and guests want to attend the wedding then move to see our parts of Italy they have dreamed about.  There are excellent inexpensive high-speed trains services to Tuscany (Florence, Pisa, etc), Rome, Naples,  Pompeii, Herculaneum, Paestum,  Salerno (boat to Amalfi Coast), Sorrento,  Sicily ferry boat, etc, etc.
