Asked along the way.
Can we host both ceremony and reception on the same day?+
Yes. The 3-hectare property has dedicated ceremony areas (gardens, chapel-adjacent terrace) separate from the main reception hall, allowing you to move guests between spaces without feeling rushed.

Tables, chairs, basic linens, and access to all grounds are included. Catering, florals, photography, and entertainment are typically arranged through preferred vendors or your own selections.
Are there lodging options for guests?+
Villa Cortea offers on-site rooms in restored outbuildings; capacity varies by season. Many guests also stay in nearby Terzigno or Naples and drive to the venue (20-30 minutes).
What's the weather like for outdoor ceremonies?+
May through September offer reliable dry conditions. April and October are mild but subject to rain. The estate has covered pavilions for backup if needed.
Are there restrictions on music or ceremony timing?+
Most civil and symbolic ceremonies can conclude by 6 PM; receptions typically run until midnight. Noise permits are managed by the venue for nighttime events.
