A CELEBRATION OF LOVE ON THE ITALIAN RIVIERA
A LUXURY WEDDING AT BELMOND SPLENDIDO, PORTOFINO
In English, Splendido means exactly what it sounds like—magnificent, breathtaking, and utterly iconic. And there’s no better word to describe the legendary Belmond Hotel Splendido, a jewel of the Italian Riviera. When Abbey and Jens envisioned their dream wedding, they sought a venue that embodied elegance, exclusivity, and timeless charm. Portofino’s most prestigious hotel was the obvious choice.
With the deep blue of the Ligurian Sea, the pastel hues of the historic hotel, and the unmistakable dolce vita atmosphere, their luxury destination wedding was a masterpiece of beauty and sophistication.

The celebrations began in style with a welcome cocktail reception at Cracco Portofino, a venue that epitomizes Italian excellence. Perched above the picturesque harbor, it provided the perfect setting for sunset couple portraits before Abbey and Jens welcomed their guests—who had traveled from around the globe to celebrate with them.
The evening was nothing short of spectacular: Michelin-starred cuisine, vibrant signature cocktails, and an atmosphere buzzing with excitement. The golden light of Portofino, the glamour of the Italian Riviera, and the energy of a truly international gathering set the perfect tone for an unforgettable wedding weekend in Italy.
