Israeli Stars Omar Adam and Sasha Israelovitch to Wed at Historic Italian Riviera Abbey

Israeli singer Omar Adam and Sasha Israelovitch are set to marry at La Cervara, a nearly 700-year-old historic abbey located on the Italian Riviera between Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino. The site features a stunning Italian garden and panoramic sea views. Founded in 1361 and dedicated to Saint Jerome, the abbey evolved into a significant religious center in the 15th and 16th centuries, with preserved church and cloister structures and a 16th-century defensive tower built against pirate raids. Declared a national monument in 1912, the abbey has changed hands multiple times, suffered neglect, and was extensively restored starting in 1990 under architect Mide Osculati, with fresco conservation led by renowned expert Pinin Brambilla Barcilon, known for restoring Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper.

The garden spans two terraces with geometric boxwood designs, pergolas, Mediterranean plants, and a 17th-century octagonal marble fountain featuring a putto statue. La Cervara has become a sought-after venue for weddings and private events, having hosted celebrities such as Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster in 2007, footballers Wayne and Colin Rooney in 2008, and Italian fashion heir Eduardo Pergamo in 2025. Unlike modern event halls, the abbey’s centuries-old architecture and natural surroundings provide an authentic and unmatched backdrop.

For those wishing to marry at La Cervara, the cost for about 100 guests starts at approximately 70,000 euros, covering venue rental, basic food and drink, and three nights’ accommodation included in the package. Additional production expenses would increase the total, potentially reaching around 115,000 euros. The venue’s unique historical charm and scenic beauty make it a coveted location for high-profile weddings, including that of Omar Adam and Sasha Israelovitch.
