I'd give Naples a mild 'nay' because it's a huge sprawling city with more than its share of problems and a few areas considered by some to be dangerous.
Pompei and the alluring Greek ruins at Paestum are accessible from Ravello, a far quieter and more romantic setting for a wedding than Naples. Depending on the date, guests also could do a day trip to Capri from Amalfi, just down the mountain. Beautiful but somewhat touristy Positano also is nearby.
Getting everyone to Ravello would be more difficult than bringing them to Naples. But PM me for ideas on that should you end up favoring Ravello.
