Caroline and Mike’s destination wedding on the Italian Riviera was the highlight of our wedding season. Their unforgettable four-day celebration was meticulously planned by Exclusive Italy Weddings. On Thursday, we embarked on a stunning boat excursion along the Riviera Coast with the wedding party. Before setting sail, we enjoyed a delightful bridal luncheon at the fabulous Hotel Splendido in Portofino. The rehearsal dinner was held at the impeccable Hotel Imperiale, perfectly situated by the sea in Santa Margherita Ligure. Picture dining by the Ligurian Sea, savoring the finest Italian cuisine with a breath of fresh coastal air, and topping it all off with a generous serving of ice cream for dessert!

Following this incredible evening, the most anticipated day of the four-day celebration arrived. With perfect weather—sunshine and a gentle breeze—the stage was set for an unforgettable ceremony. The bride looked stunning in her Marchesa wedding gown. Once preparations were complete, we headed to the breathtaking Villa Durazzo for the first look, bridal party portraits, and reception. If you find yourself in Santa Margherita Ligure, don’t miss the opportunity to visit this magnificent venue with its spectacular botanical gardens and exquisite interiors.
