The perfect “I do”
Imagine living the most important day in your life in an idyllic setting. Bride and bridesmaid can prepare for the event in their suite, relaxing with in-room spa treatments and preparing with the assistance of our beauty and hair stylists.
A chauffeur-driven car will accompany the bride to the cerimony, where an expectant groom will be waiting for her! All guests will then go to the cocktail area in the blooming gardens, a few sips of champagne followed by sunset dinner at La Terrazza Restaurant. Traditional ligurian cuisine, the finest wines and incredible vistas - a truly memorable event!

Programme includes make up and hair session, a de-stressing body and facial treatment, manicure and pedicure and other little beauty touches. Specific treatments for Mother and Daughter are great for guests travelling with children, while the groom and his best friends will love the wide range of Men treatments available.

Our concierge can organize a personal shopper or a shopping session with a consultant in the privacy of your room.
Flowers & Decorations
Portofino and the Liguria region are famous worldwide for the incredible variety of flowers blooming all over the year – the mild climate, the ground conditions and the frequent sunshine are favourable to many varieties, such us wisteria, hydrangea, bougainvillea.
Our wedding experts will help you choosing the perfect flowers to decorate your wedding venue, the reception tables and even the bride’s bouquet. The Splendido legendary wisteria is a spectacular backdrop in many photos with its delicate lilac colours.
Equally important are the decorations – our team of specialists will be glad to give you ideas on how to personalize the venue, such as candles, balloons and other special effects – let your guests be totally surprised!
To capture the best moments of your day we can organize a professional Photographer or Video. From the bride's preparation to the emotions of the ceremony, the photographer will immortalize every instant worth remembering.
Party Ideas
Wedding on a boat – for lovers on the crest of the wave!
The sea and its infinite shades of blue stretching out before you, a romantic sailing, the melody of the waves and your loved ones…a very romantic idea to surprise your guests!

The Italian Job
