Story
Choosing the perfect venue for your destination wedding is half the battle won, the other half comprises the quality of your suppliers, and your calmness or stress level on your actual wedding day. Gladly, for Gabriela and Matthew, everything was perfect - from their wedding venues, and suppliers, and zero stress levels on their big day. How can you not have a perfect wedding day when you pick this venue along Lake Como with beautiful architecture, picturesque gardens, and astounding views of the surrounding mountains?
Planning their destination wedding in Italy
We’re used to receiving inquiries from couples who have no idea how to start planning their destination wedding in Italy. Most of them even tell us that they almost gave up on that dream.
That’s the very reason why we exist as destination wedding planners. The moment Gabriels and Matthew got in touch with Eleonora, our Italian wedding planner, they were lost on how to begin. But after sharing with Eleonora the vision for their wedding day in Italy, she gave them the whole picture and assisted them from day one. Wedding planning started with the couple selecting a venue for their big day. Gabriela and Matthew knew from the beginning that they wanted a romantic wedding along Lake Como. Eleonora presented several options with all the details that the couple needed to decide.
Finally, Gabriela and Matthew picked this magical lakeside venue with a picturesque garden that is perfect for intimate ceremonies. You cannot go wrong with a venue like this. In fact, it was one of the locations for the famous Star Wars movie. It was Queen Amidala’s residence in the movie, and it’s not hard to imagine why it was a fitting location.
The gardens were amazing, with unobstructed views of the lake, and the towering poles were covered in greenery. The open terrace was a perfect space for photoshoots, and the historic building exudes elegance and a royal vibe.
Gabriela, Matthew, and their wedding planner planned everything from the couple’s arrival to the ceremony, photoshoot, and dinner. Even the songs to be played for the ceremony and reception were prepared beforehand.
Having only five guests for their Italian destination wedding made planning easier. A smaller guest count brings the cost down as well. It was easier to look for the right venue and suppliers, and plan all the elements of the couple’s big day.
About the wedding venue
Gabriela and Matthew had one non-negotiable for their wedding day - the location. It had to be along an Italian lake, with beautiful nature all around. Getting married along Lake Como is mesmerizing, with the stunning lake views and the picturesque Italian villages that you can enjoy from the venue.
When presented with several options, Gabriela and Matthew picked this historic and astounding Lake Como venue, which showcases all the best features of a lakeside Italian venue. It’s a villa built in the 18th century with corridors that offer two different panoramic views of the lake. It used to be a summer villa for an Italian family, but was converted to public use later on. It has been a setting for a Star Wars movie, and a venue for celebrity weddings as well. It’s not a surprise that many couples are choosing the venue for their destination wedding in Italy.
The romantic day that was
Gabriela and Matthew had an afternoon wedding on a spring day in May. The weather was perfect, with the sun beaming so generously on the venue, but the clouds were also present to provide shade for the wedding party.
After getting ready for the ceremony, Gabriela and Matthew had a first look at the hotel where they booked for wedding preparations. They traveled by boat to their wedding villa and had only three guests for the ceremony.
It was a romantic intimate wedding at the laggio with views of Lake Como visible everywhere. The balcony’s pillars are magical, with lush green plants crawling from top to bottom. The lake and the rolling hills on the other side was the backdrop of the ceremony, and the harp continually played amazing music in the background.
The after-ceremony photoshoot
After tying the knot in the garden overlooking Lake Como, Gabriela and Matthew did not miss the chance to have an amazing photoshoot in the best corners of the venue. They walked along the path that leads to the enchanting tree near the villa, climbed up the ladder to the terrace covered in crawling greenery, and posed right in front of the picturesque villa overlooking the rolling hills. The photos captured on their big day were just stunning!
