DESTINATION WEDDING IN CALABRIA

Let's talk about distant roots again, of grandparents who were born here but emigrated in the last century, starting a family in America. Grandparents who no longer speak Italian, who left their home to flourish elsewhere.


But Calabria is an ancestral call, and sooner or later you feel it's only right to return and touch those ancient roots firsthand.


This is the story of M. and L., who came all the way from California to get married in Calabria, because the groom's grandfather was born in a small village along the Costa Viola.

Why get married in Calabria?

You might not believe it, but in the summer, Calabria doesn't get extremely hot because it benefits from being close to the sea. Plus, the Calabrian mountains are high and offer beautiful views.


What kind of wedding can I have in Calabria?

Let me tell you right away: you don't come to Calabria for a million-dollar wedding in the style of Lake Como or Tuscany. You come here to be welcomed, treated like one of the family, and, most importantly, stuffed with food, music, and laughter.

It's not about the perfect venue or a mind-blowing setup. It's about substance, slow living, and flexibility.
