Positano elopement for two. Should I/we hire a wedding planner?

  Hello brides and grooms! you are thinking about eloping to Italy or to elope to Positano or to any other villages on the Amalfi and Sorrento coast and maybe you are unsure whether or not a wedding planner would truly be worth the money, since you are not having any guests before, after, or during the event. In this moment maybe you are thinking that you can organize everything yourself considering it’s an intimate wedding , so you can save money, that you could use towards a nicer honeymoon/elopement. Well…you can do that…nowadays you can find amazing and useful info on different vendors on instagram, as well as on facebook or on google but let me explain the Pros and Cons of planning an elopement in Positano on your own before you decide to go ahead.

Pros and Cons of planning an elopement in Positano on your own:

Pros

• You save money
• You’ll have more control over the planning process.

Cons

• You’ll spend a lot of your time figuring things out.
• You’ll feel more stressed
• You don’t have insider knowledge of the local market and of the local laws
• You will have to spend a lot of time looking at different vendors and all their reviews to understand if they are serious, honest and genuine as well as familiar with the village you choose and the venue you choose for the ceremony. Example a photographer will have to know the lights principles of the area where you get marry as well as local laws. If you choose Positano the photographer will have to ask an official permission to the local Town Hall to take wedding photos otherwise you won’t be allowed to do photos on the wedding day. You will have to get and pay a SIAE tax permission to be allowed to play music.
• You won’t get a professional’s insight.
• Completing the paperworks for a Civil Wedding will be a challenging part of the process since you will have to get in touch with your embassy, with different Italian offices and in some of them there will be language barriers. After the ceremony the next step will be to legalise your Marriage Certificates at the local prefettura Office.

Hiring a professional local Positano Wedding Planner:

• will give you the possibility to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that someone else has control.
