Your Amalfi Coast wedding is one of the most important experiences and will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life! You want to make your Amalfi Coast wedding as easy as possible. Part of making it easy is finding a great hotel to accommodate your guests and possibly to host your Amalfi Coast wedding reception following your ceremony. There are many stunning hotels on the Amalfi Coast, but there are many things to consider when choosing the perfect hotel for the most important experience of your life.
Tip 1: Choose an Amalfi Coast hotel close to the Amalfi Coast wedding venue in which you plan to have your Amalfi Coast wedding. This will make providing transportation easier for you and your guests.
Tip 2: Choose an Amalfi Coast hotel that has a concierge service. This will assist you when you are finalizing your arrangements for your Amalfi Coast wedding.
Tip 3: Many of the Amalfi Coast hotels have stunning terrace views from the common areas like pools, restaurants and outdoor bars. Decide if you would like to host a small reception at your hotel on one of these outdoor terraces. If so, you may want to consider staying in the hotel that you choose to have your Amalfi Coast wedding reception at as they will be more accommodating to your needs and requests if you are also a hotel guest.
Tip 4: Before you book your hotel accommodations for you and your guests online, send the hotel manager a direct email requesting a special rate for booking multiple rooms. Most hotels will offer a discount if you book many rooms in advance. As it is common for international couples to have an Amalfi Coast wedding. However, this may not be the case if you are booking during the high season in June, July and August.
Tip 5: Determine the hotel budget for you and your guests. Your guests are already flying overseas for your Amalfi Coast wedding. Do not assume that your guests will be able to afford a four or five star hotel. You may want to consider sending your guests multiple hotel options that vary in star rating as well as price.
Tip 6: Star rating is not everything in Europe. Some amazing hotels will have a three star rating because they do not have more than 10 rooms, or maybe do not have a gym. Do not be fooled by the star ratings. Determine which hotel services are important to you and your guests and consult the website to see what they do and do not offer.
Tip 7: Check recent hotel reviews on websites like Trip Adviser or Virtual Tourist before booking. Keep in mind that people can be difficult. Look for a pattern in the reviews. For instance, if people consistently comment on the hotel s noise level, then expect that your experience will be the same. You want your Amalfi Coast wedding experience to be amazing and do not want any negative surprises!
Tip 8: Are you planning to have your Amalfi Coast wedding reception dinner at the hotel? If so, check with the hotel first for pricing, special menus and requirements. If you have a small wedding party then it may be a better idea to have a small dinner reception at a local Amalfi Coast restaurant instead.
Tip 9: Find out what is included in the room rate before you book and compare. Many hotels in Europe offer breakfast or possibly half board in the regular rate. This is a big consideration for you and your guests. Also, if you are booking multiple rooms, do not be afraid to ask them to include breakfast at no extra cost, especially in the shoulder or low season.
Tip 10: Following your Amalfi Coast wedding, are you planning to stay in this hotel for your honeymoon? If so, check with the hotel for special honeymoon offers and packages. Many times they will include free champagne, massages and gift baskets.
