Get married on Lake Como!

Planning a Luxury Destination Wedding or a unique Honey Moon on Lake Como can be an exquisite experience. 

Lake Como is a popular destination for Luxury weddings, renowned for its stunning landscapes and Upscale Venues, romantic ambiance and elegance, the lake offers a very special and picturesque backdrop for ceremonies and celebrations. 

Historical villas nestled along the lake's shores, such as Villa Balbianello and Villa Erba, are sought-after locations. 

As well as other exclusive estates such as 5 stared Hotels, often boasting stunning panoramic views, spacious gardens, and private boat docks, like Villa d’Este, Hotel Sereno or Villa Passalaqcua. 

Couples often opt for personalized services, high-end catering, and extravagant decor to create a truly Luxurious and exclusive experience for their guests.

Given the great interest and limited availability of exclusive locations, most couples who wants to get married on Lake Como make their choices and reservations even 2 years in advance according to the chosen wedding date, and always prefer to work with experienced Wedding Planners familiar with the area for a seamless and unforgettable celebration.

Let’s look together what you need to take into consideration if you want to get married in Italy.

Fist of all, talking about a Destination Wedding, you need to inform yourself about the legal requirements for marriage, local customs, the location's climate, language differences, and logistics for guests.

It’s a really complex work to do, for this reason most couples choose to rely on a professional local Wedding Planer.
