Church & Palazzo Belmonte

BELLA SANTA MARIA DI CASTELLABATE Stunning church wedding, gelato & Palazzo for dinner and dancing….

What can I say about Megan & Joe?  Loved, loved, loved their wedding.  Megan was a bridesmaid at her aunt’s wedding in Santa Maria di Casetllabate a few years ago and had dreamed about having her wedding in the same place ever since.

The wedding was booked 18 months in advance and Meg & Joe came to visit twice during the lead up to the wedding.   Each time, falling more and more in love with the endless possibilities of hosting a wedding in this goregous little seaside town.

Almost 100 guests, many of whom stayed a few nights at the Palazzo Belmonte, a stunning Palace  tucked away in the town itself.  Hidden behind wrought iron gates, and a pathway lined with PRETTY bouganvillea and Rosemary bushes, leading to a magnificent 17th Century Courtyard.  From the courtyard you step into lush gardens, and walk to Belvedere, a terrace that overlooks the sea.  This is where dinner took place.

After dinner, guests enjoyed a gorgeous firework display which wowed everyone.   Afterwards, everyone headed down to the disco bar for the amazing DJ.  The evening ended in the wee small hours.

The day after the wedding everyone enjoyed a beach BBQ.  A couple of days later, Meg & Joe planted a lemon tree (lemons were the theme), in the Palazzo’s orchard.  They plan to visit over the coming years to check in on their tree…

Love from Megan & Joe, in their words

I already had experience with Julie as she had previously planned my aunt’s wedding in Santa Maria di Castellabate. Not only did the whole family fall in love with the beautiful town but I could see how great the planning was and how calm and chilled my aunt was. It was this point I knew that Julie must be good! We sought permission from my aunt to use Julie and she was so happy we chose the same area so we could all go back. Julie have us some great recommendations for our venue and was so accommodating when we flew out to see Palazzo Belmonte. We felt like VIP’s and the local people were so kind and excited for us. Our guests were amazed when she knew all of their names without having ever met them and she looked after each and every one of them by helping with transfers, restaurant bookings and accommodation. All I can say that we had the best day you could ever imagine. From sourcing the most amazing photographer to having the most beautiful meal, we can never thank Julie enough. She knows exactly what she is doing and we put our whole trust in her. I hope the pictures can give you some kind of insight as to what a beautiful day it was.
