Catholic Wedding
in Positano

In Italy the Catholic marriage rite is also valid to full legal effect. Therefore, your Catholic wedding ceremony will be valid both in Italy and abroad.

If you have already been married in a civil ceremony, we can organise a Catholic ceremony without civil effect, on provision of the requisite documentation.

Catholic wedding ceremonies are celebrated by an English-speaking priest in this church which can hold wedding groups of up to 120 people.

The Church in Positano

Santa Maria Assunta Church

Catholic weddings in Positano are celebrated in the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, Santa Maria Assunta, situated in the heart of the town, in a lovely square overlooking the sea.

You reach the Santa Maria Assunta church passing through a pretty and characteristic cobbled street covered by arches of blooming bougainvillea. The church was built during the 13th Century and the impressive ‘majolica cupola’, with its lovely coloured tiles, can be seen from all over town.

The interior of the church is in the Baroque style and adorned with delicate marble and gold features. It has a nave and two pillars and the main altar features a beautiful 17th Century Byzantine-style panel painting depicting the Madonna and Child.
