A Two-Day Lake Como Wedding Between Mountains, Lake and Italian Flavours
This unforgettable Lake Como wedding celebrated the love of a couple of Swiss origins, Ieva & Christian, and brought together almost one hundred guests for a two-day destination wedding experience. Rather than simply organising a single wedding day, the celebration was designed as a journey through the different landscapes and atmospheres surrounding Lake Como.
The celebrations began with a relaxed and convivial pizza party at a charming restaurant in the nearby mountains, giving guests the opportunity to experience a completely different side of the destination before the wedding day. From mountain views and authentic Italian flavours to the elegance of the lake, a religious ceremony and a boat journey across the water, the couple offered their guests a wonderfully varied experience and a true taste of the beauty of Northern Italy.
The following day brought everyone together for the wedding celebration, combining a traditional religious ceremony with the unforgettable experience of travelling by boat on Lake Como. With almost one hundred guests, careful planning and logistics were essential to ensure that every transfer, location and moment of the celebration flowed smoothly, while allowing guests to enjoy the changing scenery throughout this special two-day wedding weekend.
Are you looking for the best wedding locations in Italy?
I know for sure the best wedding locations in Italy, above all in Tuscany. And let’s say some special wedding places all over Italy! Even if I am based in Florence I am definitely a water element person and by the way Florence has its own river. This makes me somehow feel happy where I am, besides the fact that Florence is a wonderful city on its own.

However, this wedding venue at lake Como, for example, is one of my favorites and one of a kind for several reasons: on top a reasonable price, a tremendous view and position. Additionally, it can cover all event’s areas for a medium size wedding up to 70-80 guests with no need of a marquee.
The ideal combination is when you have a religious ceremony so that the church can serve as a back up plan on its own. Also, you can keep the venue for the wedding reception and party only.
“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.”
Pay attention to yours and the guests transportation service and last but not least the month you choose for your event. Here is the main reason you would need someone like me to advise on all these concealed aspects and get the maximum output with minimum effort!
Just an idea…
The best wedding locations in Italy do not have to be necessarily a big expensive. The most important thing is that your wedding there is well-conceived and planned in details. Of course, by a professional wedding planner who can get the ball rolling for you and cut to the chase! Bad weather can be really determinant in the lake area because it will completely change the mood and all your transportation plans.

For example, if you rent a boat, then you will also need a back up plan by minivans from the very beginning. Not to mention some more entertaining activities to lift the mood of your guests during the aperitifs. I said theirs and not yours on purpose as when you are well prepared to face any inconvenience, you will be happy anyway!
As a wedding planner, this experience was a perfect reminder that beautiful weddings are not only about aesthetics but also about careful logistics and problem-solving. While we successfully found the right docking point, we had also prepared a complete Plan B with alternative transfers, ready to ensure that the schedule and guest experience would not be affected if the boat solution became impossible.
When planning a wedding on Lake Como, particularly one involving boat transportation, flexibility is essential. Water levels, weather conditions, docking permissions and local logistics can all affect the original plan. Having alternative transportation organised in advance allows couples to enjoy their wedding day with confidence, knowing that even when unexpected challenges appear, every detail has already been considered.
