Vanessa & Ryan

Tonnara di Scopello, Sicily

Vanessa and Ryan are travellers at heart, and choosing to get married in Sicily felt like a natural extension of the rich, vibrant life they are building together. Their focus was on spending time in this stunning location with their dear family and friends, beginning with ocean front welcome drinks before rolling effortlessly into the wedding day.

They exchanged vows on the rugged shoreline, with waves crashing below them and plenty of tears flowing form their guests! However, the tempo quickly changed as champagne and oysters were served, followed by an opulent Italian cocktail hour as a saxophonist played and the afternoon light softened. Dinner unfolded along two long tables at the water’s edge, festoon lights glowing overhead. Dessert included custom cannoli made to order, and exquisite Sicilian roaming treats.

Then came the dancing; Vanessa and Ryan had been waiting for this! Their first dance was a showstopper, and set the tone that the fun had only just begun. Vanessa changed into her party dress, complete with white cowgirl boots, and led the guests to the ‘rave cave’ where the party kicked into top gear. The guests let loose and made it a night to never forget!
