Amalfi Coast,
Italy

We are excited for you to join us for an intimate weekend in Scala, Italy — coastal views, amazing food, relaxing evenings, and a symbolic wedding celebration overlooking the Amalfi Coast.

August 26–31, 2026 · Ceremony August 29
The Invitation

An intimate celebration. A weekend in Italy. A place we cannot wait to share.

For now, this is simply the where and when. More details will follow as we get closer. Until then, imagine an Italian summer dinner, a luxury hotel tucked into the hills, and a few days together along the coast.

Where We’ll Be

Scala, above the Amalfi Coast.

We’ll be staying together at Palazzo Pascal, surrounded by terraced hills, coastal air, stone pathways, candlelight, and views that feel almost unreal. The exact ceremony setting will remain a little bit of a surprise. Hidden throughout the site are quiet visual hints — stone pathways, dramatic coastline views, and traces of a place suspended above the sea.

Palazzo Pascal

Palazzo Pascal sits high above the Amalfi Coast in Scala — quiet, dramatic, and impossibly cinematic at sunset. Terraces, candlelight, long dinners, and views stretching toward the water will shape the rhythm of the weekend.

The Amalfi Coast

Italy’s most cinematic coastline.

The Amalfi Coast stretches along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula — dramatic cliffs descending into the Mediterranean, terraced lemon groves, winding roads, and historic villages suspended above the sea. Once one of Italy’s great maritime republics, the region is now known for its quiet hill towns, late summer dinners, and impossibly beautiful coastal views.

While Positano and Amalfi attract most visitors, Scala sits quietly above the coastline — older, slower, and more intimate. Palazzo Pascal overlooks the valleys between Ravello and the sea, surrounded by stone pathways, gardens, and sunsets that feel almost cinematic.

Hidden among the hills above Scala are the ruins of the Basilica of Sant’Eustachio, a 12th-century Romanesque church overlooking the sea. Long before the Amalfi Coast became a destination for travelers, these hills connected ancient maritime routes, monasteries, and hillside villages suspended above the Mediterranean.

A Place Above The Coast

Somewhere in the hills above Amalfi.

High above Amalfi, across the valley from Ravello, Scala is often called the oldest village on the Amalfi Coast. Legend traces its beginnings to the 4th century, when Roman travelers sailing toward Constantinople were driven ashore by a storm and settled in the mountains above the sea. In the Middle Ages, Scala became part of the powerful Maritime Republic of Amalfi — a fortified hill town of stone paths, churches, watchpoints, and small hamlets tucked into the landscape.

There is something timeless about Scala: the quiet above the coastline, the bells, the terraces, the sense that history is still present in the walls. For centuries it was a bishopric and an important mountain settlement; today it remains one of the coast’s more intimate places, overlooking Amalfi from above rather than sitting in the center of the crowds.
