Our Travel Plans (Kayla & Kimarri) September 13–15, 2026 | Naples We’ll arrive in Naples on September 13th to complete our marriage paperwork and will stay through September 15th. September 15–17 | Nerano From Naples, we’ll travel to Nerano for a few days of coastal relaxation and exploring. Kayla’s family, the Neffs, will be staying in Nerano from September 15th–18th, and we’ll be with them on the 15th and 16th. September 17–22 | Ravello On Thursday, September 17th, we’ll travel to Ravello and check in at Hotel Bonadies, our wedding venue, where we’ll stay through September 22nd. The Neffs will join us in Ravello on Friday, September 18th. If you’re arriving early, we’d love to share a spritz, connect, and say ciao before the wedding festivities begin. We can’t wait to celebrate together 🤍🍋🇲🇽
Since Ravello sits atop a hill, we highly recommend staying in Ravello both the night before and the night of the wedding for ease and convenience. Our room block at Hotel Bonadies for September 19th and 20th is currently full. Additional rooms may open, and if you have a strong preference for staying there, please reach out to our wedding planner, Suita, who can keep you updated and assist with accommodations. Beyond our room block, Ravello is home to many charming boutique hotels and private villas, as well as additional options nearby. We have a variety of hotel recommendations available through our planner, Suita, which you can explore on the Travel tab of our website. If you’re traveling on a lower budget, Suita is also happy to help find suitable accommodations—just reach out. We recommend booking early, as wedding season in Ravello fills up quickly!
Arriving 2–3 days early allows time to adjust to the time zone, explore the Amalfi Coast, and attend pre-wedding events.
Naples International Airport (NAP) is the closest major airport, about 1.5 hours from Ravello by car. Rome’s Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is another option, roughly 3.5 hours away. You can arrange a private transfer (~$150) or take a ferry from Naples to Amalfi or Positano, then a taxi or bus up to Ravello. This route is scenic but slower (2 hours). Ferry cost are approximately $20 per person and buses tickets are approximately $5-10 from Amalfi to Ravello.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. For drivers and hotel staff, a few euros is a nice gesture. Note that you will be charged for “coperto” in many restaurants – a cover charge of around 4€ per person. This is neither a scam nor a tip that goes to the staff.

Q: How does coffee work in Italy, and what should I order? A: Coffee culture is simple but delightfully different: A latte is just milk — ask for caffellatte if you want a milky coffee. Cappuccinos are for the morning. After noon, locals switch to espresso or an espresso macchiato. Q: How do I find the best gelato? A: Look for shops with natural colors and gelato stored in covered metal tins. If it’s piled high or neon-colored, it’s likely not authentic.
