Marry In Sight of Two Volcanoes at Sunset

Where else in the world can you take your vows and "first dance" watched over by two live volcanoes  (Aetna on the left & Stromboli on the right)?

Click here for photos and description of The San Michele

Note:  with the hotel being on the sea, it is sometimes hazy thus eliminating or obscuring the view of the volcanoes.

 

NOTE: Weddings can be done readily on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  However, other days need special arrangements,  which may or may not be granted.   For outdoor weddings, the signing of the marital oath at the town hall  can be done on a Tuesday or Thursday then followed any day by the outdoor ceremony with the Mayor or Minister.   The date on the marriage certificate will be the date of the town hall visit.

  • In a small chapel on the grounds  (non-catholic weddings only).  note:  the chapel is NOT very attractive, and would be only used by people that really wanted a church wedding at San Michele, or those that just have to get married no more than 20 yards from the 1st tee.
