Choosing the location for the wedding it is often the most difficult and complex. Among a thousand questions, perplexities and doubts, finding the perfect place that reflects the couple's soul can seem like a titanic undertaking.
What is the right place?
After years of experience, I can say that the key is to identify that unmistakable sensation you feel when you cross the threshold of the chosen place. An overwhelming emotion that translates into an unstoppable certainty: “Yup, this is where I want to get married!”.
But how do we arrive at this choice?? Here are some tips:
1. Listen to yourselves: What are your favorite atmospheres? Dream of a romantic wedding in a period villa, a country reception in a farmhouse, a barefoot ceremony on the beach or an elegant party in a castle? Imagine the scenario that best represents your love and let your instincts guide you.
2. Set a budget: In fact, locations can vary considerably in terms of costs. It is therefore essential to immediately define a realistic budget to avoid running into unpleasant surprises.
3. Consider the season and logistics. The season chosen will influence the availability of outdoor locations and the type of setup. Also consider the logistics: the location is easily accessible for guests? Parking or shuttles are available?
4. Visitate diverse location. Don't limit yourself to photos and online descriptions, photos often don't give the same impressions in real life. Visit them to compare them, understand its atmosphere, evaluate the spaces and layout and possibly ask questions to the manager for specific requests.
In Liguria there are many locations by the sea, from historic villas such as Villa Durazzo to Santa Margherita Ligure, to the suggestive Cervara Abbey in Portofino, at the Abbey of San Fruttuoso in Camogli, a real pearl of our coast.
But the beauty of our beloved region is that in addition to giving us beautiful landscapes with sea views it also gives us perfect locations surrounded by greenery with the possibility of creating suggestive country chic style weddings such as the Pergola dei paggi in Sestri Levante where we created the wedding of Emanuela and Michele, or the Ganci Farm in Celle Ligure where we created Rebekah and Magnus' dream, which in addition to being in the greenery and in full farmhouse style, it also has an extraordinary sea view.
Finally, remember that the choice of location is an absolutely personal decision. Don't let yourself be influenced by passing fads or external pressures. Choose the place that excites you and reflects your uniqueness. Contact me, I will be happy to help us choose the location of your dreams…
