Destination Wedding at Favignana, Sicily, Italy

A Coastal Micro-Wedding at Camparìa Favignana, Sicily

Gabriella & Ted’s micro-wedding in Favignana was the kind of celebration that makes you stop and feel everything. Thoughtfully planned by White Notes and Buscemi Vincenzo, their day was filled with honest beauty, slow moments, and a deep love for food, wine, and place.

The ceremony took place by the sea, with the sound of waves and the warm Sicilian light setting a peaceful tone. It was quiet, heartfelt, and intimate — just a small group of their closest people gathered on the edge of the island.

Cocktail hour followed with a focus on incredible local wines. As true wine connoisseurs, Gabriella and Ted made sure the selection was personal and generous. Guests sipped and laughed as the sun dipped lower, the breeze carrying the scent of the sea.

Dinner was held in the heart of Camparìa Favignana — a beautifully restored tuna factory with soaring arches and centuries-old stone walls. The long table was set beneath the vaulted ceiling, glowing with candlelight and covered in vibrant flowers that echoed the joy of the day. The atmosphere was timeless — refined, but never formal.

The party moved back outside, where a soft breeze carried everyone into the night. Coffee was served in a massive Italian moka pot — a playful, personal touch — and the champagne tower set the tone for a celebration that didn’t hold back. Laughter, dancing, and stories filled the courtyard under the stars.

Gabriella & Ted’s wedding wasn’t about perfection — it was about presence. About gathering the people they love in a place that means something, and celebrating in a way that felt completely their own.
