When to Elope in Capri
The best months for an elopement in Capri are April to October.
•April–May: beautiful light, mild temperatures, fewer tourists
•June–September: warm, lively atmosphere and perfect sunsets
•October: romantic light and calmer days
During the winter months, the sea is often rough, making ferries unreliable. Many hotels and restaurants close for the season — which is why elopements are rarely scheduled in winter.

This allows you to explore Capri’s highlights and enjoy the atmosphere without rushing.
Unforgettable experiences include:
•Private boat tour around the island — perfect for cinematic elopement photos
