Brooke & Ryan
We had such a great experience with Peach Perfect Weddings and our planner, Eleonora. From the very first conversation, she made the entire process stress-free. We were nervous to have a wedding in Italy when we live in the United States but Eleonora truly handled everything for us. She was quick and thorough with every response, brought the best vendors, and made our day even more beautiful than we imagined. I highly recommend Peach Perfect Weddings!
Story
Some weddings perfectly show why many couples prefer a smaller guest list and a European venue. This elopement atop Ravello on a fine summer day in Italy is the perfect example.
A venue worth every mile
Coming all the way from the US, Brooke and Ryan had one desire for their once-in-a-lifetime celebration - a scenic Italian backdrop for their “I dos.” And this ancient hotel, perched high above Ravello, did not disappoint.
Their ceremony unfolded with an incredible view of Amalfi’s coastal villages and the crystal-blue Tyrrhenian Sea. This timeless hotel truly knows how to create drama! Add in the vibrant garden terrace, and you get a romantic scene worth crossing oceans for. It’s no wonder Ravello is called the pearl of the Amalfi Coast - its historic charm and elegance make every intimate wedding feel like a fairytale.
We weren’t surprised Brooke and Ryan chose this venue from the long list of options for their dream elopement in Italy.
Brooke and Ryan’s planning journey
They say you can’t know the depth of a river without stepping in - and with their wedding day at stake, Brooke and Ryan knew they needed someone they could trust. That’s where our Italian wedding planner, Eleonora, came in.
Initially, they had doubts about marrying in a foreign country where they knew no one. But after their first call with Eleonora, followed by weeks of warm communication, they felt as if they had found a friend who would look after their best interests.
From venue selection to accommodation reservations, vendor coordination to timeline creation, Eleonora guided them every step of the way. She handled the details, while Brooke and Ryan focused only on the parts they wanted to be personally involved in - making their planning process stress-free and enjoyable.
Elopement day in the courtyard
With just six guests in tow, Brooke and Ryan shared the most intimate ceremony. Words hardly do justice to the view before them - Amalfi’s medieval villages with tangerine rooftops and whitewashed facades gleaming under the summer sun.
From afar, the white sandy beaches kissed the turquoise Tyrrhenian waters, painting a postcard-perfect scene. A simple, minimalist wedding arch framed the backdrop beautifully, proving that nature and history were all the décor they needed.
The ceremony began sweetly, with Brooke’s father walking her down the aisle. Though short, it was deeply meaningful - a heartfelt exchange of vows set against one of the world’s most romantic landscapes. Afterward, the small group enjoyed a relaxed drinks reception while Brooke and Ryan slipped away with their photographer for stunning portraits.
Of course, they didn’t miss the chance to wander Ravello’s cobblestone streets, surrounded by medieval architecture that radiated timeless beauty. In the end, Brooke and Ryan experienced everything they had dreamed of—and more—on their unforgettable Amalfi wedding day.
