A Wedding in Portofino: Where Glamour Meets the Sea
Getting married in Portofino means saying “I do” with the Mediterranean breeze in your hair, pastel-colored facades behind you, and the gentle rhythm of the Ligurian sea as your soundtrack. This tiny fishing village turned luxury haven is one of Italy’s most exclusive wedding destinations—timeless, chic, and filled with natural charm.
Just around the bay in Santa Margherita Ligure, the Grand Hotel Imperiale represents the perfect balance between elegance and functionality. It’s the ideal venue for hosting a stylish wedding ceremony followed by a refined aperitif on its panoramic terrace. This setting allows you to start the day in grand style, while leaving the most magical surprises for later. By not revealing everything at once, your guests will have the time and curiosity to fully savor each moment—especially when the celebration continues in Portofino, where a stunning dinner awaits in a location they’ll never forget.
After your ceremony, celebrate your love with an unforgettable dinner. One of our favorite choices? Ristorante Langosteria Paraggi, nestled in a hidden cove between Portofino and Santa Margherita. Here, candlelit tables and the scent of the sea accompany refined Ligurian cuisine with a contemporary twist. It’s not just a dinner…it’s a sensory journey that becomes part of your story.
And in between the celebrations, lose yourself in the charm of the village: stroll hand in hand through the narrow streets of the center, where the scent of sun-kissed fruit mixes with fresh focaccia and the colors of artisan shops showcase local ceramics, handmade linens, and fine Italian leather. It’s a living postcard, and your love story is at the heart of it.
Portofino is not for everyone….it’s for dreamers, romantics, and lovers of understated luxury. And that’s exactly why your wedding here will be unforgettable!
