Weddings in Taormina

Celebrate your wedding in the magical Sicilian resort of Taormina. Set high on Monte Tauro, overlooking two beautiful bays below, Taormina has been a magnet to visitors for centuries. Its beguiling combination of ancient history, a thriving cultural scene, picturesque scenery and lovely climate makes Taormina Sicily's best-known resort, and a wonderful place to get married.

Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, provides an impressive backdrop to the fascinating remains of Taormina's classical theater on the edge of the town. The former residence of D.H.Lawrence is located just behind it. Other historic highlights in the town include its ancient abbey, the 13th century cathedral of Saint Nicolò and the Pallazzo Corvaja, which dates back to the 14th century.

Taormina is a gourmet's dream, with countless pastry shops and pavement cafés, not to mention excellent restaurants serving up traditional Sicilian cuisine. Intimate piazzas are hidden away amongst the town's narrow streets, many of which are lined with centuries-old palaces. There are several lovely gardens as well, not to mention art museums and exhibits of paintings in many of the town's palaces and churches.

The Sicilian coastline below the town is made up of fantastic beaches, interspersed with grottoes and rocky coves. From above, the views over the sea are spectacular. Just two recommended beaches are Mazzarò, which features a picturesque islet, and Spisone.

This Sicilian town is a picturesque and welcoming resort, with an enormous amount to offer. Taormina is an undeniably romantic wedding location.
