Real weddings at Medea
Make it a weekend.
Your guests are flying in, so make it more than one day. Here is one way a Medea wedding weekend can look; we shape it around you.
Friday
Arrive and settle in
Guests land in Naples, forty minutes away, and check in. In the evening, a relaxed welcome dinner at the resort restaurant.
Saturday
The wedding
Vows at the basilica or in the gardens, aperitivo in the lavender, dinner, cake and dancing under the palms.
Sunday
The slow morning
Breakfast together, a swim in the pool and a long farewell lunch before everyone heads home.
Staying longer? The Royal Palace of Caserta is 20 minutes away, Naples 40, the Amalfi Coast about an hour and a half.
Cooked here, from Campania.
Campania is one of the great food regions of the world, and your guests will taste it: the aperitivo buffet in the garden, the courses, the wine, the cake. All from our own kitchen, with an in-house wedding planner looking after every detail.

Questions couples ask us.
Can we get legally married in Italy?
Yes. Couples from abroad can have a legal civil wedding in Italy. You need a certificate of no impediment from your own country (in Italy it is called the Nulla Osta) and your passports; British couples apply for theirs through the British Embassy in Rome. The rules differ from country to country, so check with your own government first.
Can we have a symbolic ceremony instead?
Yes, and many couples from abroad do: they sign the legal papers at home and celebrate here with a symbolic ceremony in the gardens. No Italian paperwork needed.
Can we have a church wedding?
The eleventh-century Basilica of Sant'Angelo in Formis is ten minutes from the resort. Church weddings follow the Catholic Church's own requirements, so speak to your parish at home early.
How many guests can we invite?
From 80 to 220 guests, indoors in our halls or outside under the stars.
Where will our guests stay?
There are thirty rooms and suites at the resort, so your closest family and friends can sleep on site. For larger groups we can suggest places to stay nearby.
How far ahead should we book?
Medea hosts one wedding a day, so once a date is taken it is gone. Summer Saturdays go first, so we recommend enquiring twelve to eighteen months ahead.
Can you cater for dietary needs?
Yes. Our own kitchen looks after special diets: just tell us what your guests need.
Can we visit before we decide?
Of course. You are welcome to visit Medea before you book. Tell us when you are in Italy and we will arrange it.
