We invite you to kick off the weekend with a seaside soirée as the sun dips low and the spritzes start flowing, as everyone settles into island time. In true Italian fashion, we'll ease into the evening with an aperitivo of regional small plates and a bar that's always flowing. Expect a warm breeze, a buzz of excitement in the air, and clinking glasses as we toast to the exciting days ahead!

Attire: FLIRTY, YOUTHFUL, & a little undone
Picture a warm Italian evening, the sea sparkling in the distance, as you settle in from your travels and ease into the weekend. The vibe is relaxed yet refined — like you’ve just slipped into something flirty and wandered off to sip wine by the water, with nowhere else to be. Ladies, channel elevated ease with a wink: breezy florals, romantic textures, and eye-catching details like ruffles or unexpected cutouts that feel made for a European aperitivo. Strappy sandals or a comfortable block heel are perfect for navigating cobblestone streets. Gentlemen, lightweight shirts paired with tailored shorts or relaxed trousers strike the ideal balance — don’t hesitate to elevate the look with an unstructured linen jacket. Dress with intention, arrive in style — this is where the magic begins!

Join us for a yacht excursion, where Captain Dan (the groom himself!) will take the helm for a bit of fun as we explore the stunning coastline. We’ll sail around Ischia, orienting ourselves with the sweeping views that stretch toward the Amalfi Coast and stopping at some of the island’s most beautiful swimming spots for a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean. Midday, we’ll anchor in the charming village of Sant’Angelo for lunch and a bit of exploring before continuing our journey. Light refreshments, snacks, and drinks will be served aboard as we soak in the sun, sea, and a sense of adventure — setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend ahead.

Attire: FASHION-FORWARD Resortwear 
Set sail in true coastal style! Come dressed like you've just stepped out of the pages of Vogue Italia — effortless, elevated, and ready to make waves. Ladies, embrace elevated swimwear layered with a statement cover-up you can slip off before a swim. Add oversized sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and eye-catching earrings for that off-duty model energy. Gentlemen, channel sprezzatura with crisp linen shirts (unbuttoned, naturally), tailored swim trunks, and refined nautical accents — stripes, bold frames, sleek slides, or a polished bucket hat. Swimwear underneath is highly encouraged for a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean!

Surrounded by the sea and those we love most, we’ll exchange vows in an intimate ceremony at the edge of the world. From golden hour promises to dinner beneath the stars, our wedding is a reflection of everything we cherish: intentional moments, sincere words, exquisite food, and the joy of gathering in one of the most breathtaking places we’ve ever been.

The celebration unfolds as follows:
5:15 pm – Private shuttle pickup from designated locations (details to come closer to the date).
‍6:00 pm – Guest transportation drop-off: please note that cars can only reach the cliffside’s edge. From there, guests will descend a 156-step vertical stone staircase to the lighthouse below. Comfortable, disposable walking shoes will be available for guests who wish to change before the descent.
‍6:15 pm – Upon arrival, guests will be greeted in the garden with a welcome drink and light refreshments.
‍7:00 pm – Ceremony: an intimate exchange of vows as the sun begins to set over the Meditterenean Sea.
‍7:30 pm – Aperitivo hour: feel free to stroll the grounds, take in the views from the rooftop, and enjoy cocktails & seasonal bites (while we slip away for couples portraits).
‍8:30 pm – We'll rejoin everyone just in time for sunset, before gathering for dinner on the terrace.
‍8:45 pm – Dinner is served in courses on the open-air terrace, surrounded by the sea, as conversation and coastal breeze flow freely.
‍10:00 pm – Dolce & dancing await beneath the stars as we move to the rooftop for a lively continuation of the celebration.
‍12:00 am – Shuttles will return guests to their accommodations. As a reminder, the journey includes the staircase ascent at the end of the night. We will be spending our wedding night at the lighthouse and can’t wait to see you again the next day for our recovery day celebration.

Attire: SUMMEr GALA
The stunning coastline sets the tone for a sophisticated celebration. Embrace the glamour of an Italian summer night — ladies think formal gowns distinguished by sleek silhouettes and breathable fabrics that move with the seaside breeze. Opt for thicker heels for the lighthouse staircase steps, and don’t be afraid to lean into bold color, subtle sparkle, or statement accessories. For gentlemen, traditional black tie is welcome, though polished linen suits or lightweight tailoring are equally appropriate for the warm evening air.  This is your moment to dress like you're stepping into a Fellini film — refined, radiant, and unforgettable.

To wrap up the weekend, join us for a post-wedding recovery day set against the stunning backdrop of volcanic thermal waters. Spend the day soaking in naturally heated pools, lounging by the sea, and sipping cocktails pretending vacation never ends. Equal parts spa retreat and seaside escape, it’s the ultimate way to unwind and savor the magic of a Mediterranean summer — one last toast before the journey home.

We’ve covered everyone's entrance to the thermal park — just mention "Vitiello" when you arrive. Your beach chair will be waiting for you in Zone 5 (privately reserved for our group), but guests are welcome to wander the grounds and enjoy the full experience. The club opens at 9:00 am and closes at 6:00 pm. Treat yourself to a spritz or a seaside bite while you're there, as food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Attire: euro summer dream
Whether you're wrapped in a sarong or layered in raffia like a modern-day mermaid, dress like you're kissing summer goodbye in the most fabulous way possible. Embrace sea-glass hues, playful textures, and silhouettes that fall somewhere between a beach club afternoon and a fashion editorial. Ladies, think crochet, shell embellishments, and a bikini made for turning heads on a Vespa. Gentlemen, lightweight linen shirts, tailored swim trunks, or relaxed trousers will keep you stylish yet comfortable. Sandals are ideal for poolside lounging, aperol spritz in hand. This is both the farewell fête and the recovery day — so wear something you can nap in, dance in, and maybe cry in (just a little).
