A Capri wedding means working with three constraints: sea transport, the island's small spaces and seasonality. May, June and September remain the most manageable months for light, temperature and availability.
Season and logistics
Guests arrive from Naples or Sorrento by ferry and hydrofoil, both weather dependent: plan generous margins and a covered plan B. In high season hotels book many months ahead and internal transfers are by taxi or private shuttle.
Ceremony and reception
Civil ceremonies take place in the municipal venues of Capri and Anacapri; religious ones are arranged with the island's parishes. Receptions are held in hotels, private villas and restaurants with terraces: spaces are limited, so the guest count should be settled early.
The welcome dinner
The night before, an informal dinner in the historic centre is common, convenient for guests arriving that day. Spirito di Capri, in Piazzetta Cerio, is a minute from the Piazzetta and open until 2am: for groups, write or call +39 339 358 1609.
