Meet Me at the Marameo
12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Via Marina Piccola, Sorrento, Campania 80067, Italy
Beach Club Attire. Dress code: Bright and happy! Think bathing suits and coverups, linen shorts, tees, sundresses, and sandals.
We cant wait to welcome you to Sorrento in style! Please join us on Sunday for a day at the Marameo Beach Club in Sorrento’s Marina Piccola. Catch a few rays, take a dip in the sea, marvel at Vesuvius, have a spritz (or 2!) with your lunch, and enjoy a taste of la dolce vita as we embark on the first of three days together. Emily’s tip: The “beach” in Sorrento is typical of the area but atypical for those of us that are accustomed to beach days in Florida or at the Jersey Shore. The Marameo is located above the water on a large platform -envision a boardwalk- that is complete with a restaurant, sun beds, changing cabins, and even a jacuzzi. From my time abroad, I’ve realized that Europeans have perfected the art of the outfit change. Many will come in street clothes with their suit in their bag and change in a cabin when they’re ready to sunbathe or swim. The same happens after they’ve finished swimming. So if you’d like, you can change into your suit when you arrive.

Sail Away on the Lady Patrizia
12:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Via Marina Piccola, Sorrento, Campania 80067, Italy
Setting Sail in Shades of the Sea Pack your breezy whites and your ocean blues for a day on the water. Opt for a clean, crisp, casual look. Men, think linen polos, shorts, deck shoes or sandals. Ladies, a sundress or matching set would work perfectly. Wear or bring a bathing suit and get ready to swim in the clear, turquoise water of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Don’t forget your hat and sunnies!
Once aboard the Lady Patrizia we will sail through the Golfo di Napoli to Capri. Along the way we invite you to eat, drink, and take in the spectacular views. When we arrive, we will anchor, and spend the day enjoying the turquoise water of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Swimming is encouraged. As is dancing on the deck!

Ceremony
5:30 pm
12 Via San Francesco, Sorrento, Campania 80067, Italy
Black-Tie Optional
The Cloister of San Francesco d’Assisi is one of the oldest monuments in Sorrento. Located near the homonymous church and the Municipal Garden, this evocative fourteenth-century structure has a unique architecture. Built on the ruins of a 7th-century monastery, the cloister blends the typical 14th-century style with those of subsequent centuries, incorporating ruins from pagan temples and other archaeological sites. Renovated in the early decades of the twentieth century, the cloister is now a location for classical music concerts, city events, and wedding ceremonies! Emily’s tip: In our planning, Neko and I focused on keeping all our events in the city center and within walking distance of one another. With that being said, we will walk the 800 ft from the ceremony at the cloister to the reception at the Bellevue Syrene. So, if asked, I’d personally say no to stilettos.
Reception: Let’s Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!
6:30 pm - 11:30 pm
5 Piazza della Vittoria, Sorrento, Campania 80067, Italy
Black-Tie Optional
The Hotel Bellevue Syrene, overlooking the Bay of Naples, stands on the remains of a Roman villa from the 2nd century BC. In 1750, it became the summer residence of Count Mastrobuono, then a small hotel in 1820, preserving its ruins and restored 17th-century frescoes. Between 1905 and 1907, William Waldorf Astor built a replica of Pompeii’s House of the Vettii inside. In 1995, the Russo family acquired the hotel, blending modern updates with its historical charm. Over 200 years, it has hosted notable guests like Louis II of Bavaria, Empress Eugenie of France, King Paul of Greece, King Victor Emmanuel with Queen Helena, and Marguerite Yourcenar, who wrote The Coup de Grâce here in 1938. We hope you enjoy its atmosphere steeped in history and legends and encounter the magic of the myth of the Sirens and the echoes of an illustrious past in every room.
