Varenna it’s reachable by private boat or ferry from most of the other towns of the Lake.
This means that although Varenna is lovely you can decide to spend your wedding holidays not necessary based in Varenna itself.

Helen and Steve, our elegant Asian couple for example, chose to stay in Bellagio with their guests at the well renowned Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni.
After their ‘getting ready’ and some beautiful shoots, they reached Varenna by boat: a unique occasion to enjoy the lake!

Once arrived in the main Varenna square, a long stair leads you in front of the main entrance.
This is a perfect setting for the wedding decorations: white and long aisle, flowers and candles create a special and evocative atmosphere.
How can you forget the moment when you step inside the church accompanied by the wedding march notes?
I think this is one of the most touching and unforgettable moments in our life….
Crossing the aisle, hearing the people you love murmuring excited, somebody’s crying and…finally you reach the altar for your forever promise of respect and love.
The sound of the Ave Maria, the exchange of the rings, every moment will remain in your mind for the rest of your life.

At the end of the ceremony you cannot miss the petals through as good luck from all of your friends and relatives.
Now that you’re married, the party moment should begin.

Helen and Steve, decided to go back to Bellagio by private boat and have their wedding reception, welcoming their guests at Villa Serbelloni.

The beautiful and sunny day helped this event having a spectacular result!
After dropping off the boat, the newlyweds and their friends had a nice walk through Serbelloni accurate gardens to take pictures and relax, just before the delicious meal.

Serbelloni skilled staff prepared a refined long table lake view and served impeccably.

As I use to say, each wedding is something different and unique, and this for sure was: you can just read it in Helen and Steve eyes!

September it’s a lovely month for a wedding on Lake Garda: the weather is mild and sunny, and all the guests can really enjoy the outdoor sceneries.

Our lovely bride Hayley and his father decided to reach the Castle by a funny blue Ape Car, sipping a glass of champagne.

The white dress shined under the sun and the groom Chris couldn’t wait to see her arriving!

After a short walk she finally came in the Castle and crossed the terrace at her father arm, accompanied by the Wedding March notes.

The ceremony, personalized with readings, poetries and music was really touching and unique.

After the wedding, the newlyweds were attended to the Castle main entrance to receive the applause and the soap bubbles of their relatives and friends.

The cool Ape car lead Hayley and Chris to the lake view restaurant they chose for their reception and where they shared this special moment with the family.

We’re always very happy and proud to make a dream come true!

Italian Lakes are simply magic: their atmosphere, their surroundings cannot be compared to other places in the world.
Many towns and villages are very famous already but the area still hold lot of surprises.

We’re very proud to introduce you a magnificent private Villa, called Villa San Martino, which is located on Lake Varese (the Lumbardy side of Maggiore Lake).

This venue is very particular due to its Liberty architecture style, absolutely unusual for the area.

The place is breathtaking from your arrival: the ancient gate opens the view on a large tree – lined promenade hiding the beautiful venue.

Once arrived up on the hill you’ll be surprised by an enchanting park and swimming pool overlooking the lake.

The outdoor area is perfect for a spring / summer wedding since this is so spacious and with such a lovely view.

This is the location chosen by a romantic pregnant bride in the last August month.

The romance began with a stunning symbolic celebration lake view and continued with an elegant party around the pool and then inside the splendid rooms.

Florist and catering helped us realize a great setting and the moment of the cut of the cake have been incredibly touching!

After the cake the dances continued in the particular courtyard held in the Villa walls which was covered with a white marquise and arranged with open bar, special lights and a live band.

This is a lovely old town, also known as the Olive Riviera, located at the foot of Monte Baldo.

Here, the nature of the surroundings is really impressive and characterized by stunning pine woods, olive groves and lemon orchards.

This incredible place allows the couples to celebrate their civil wedding ceremony directly at the castle located in the center of the town or, in alternative, in the ancient Church of San Giovanni.

The castle, just few meters away from the harbour, was made to defend the city and has three towers, all of which is surrounded by the ruins of the town walls that protected the town of Torri del Benaco.
People of Torri del Benaco are very proud of this monument so well maintained during the centuries and where you still can feel a magic atmosphere.

The splendid ceremony can be celebrated directly on the tower terrace, overlooking the Lake, if the number of guests is small (max 15).

Otherwise, it’s available the romantic Lemon Groves at the foot of the castle. The lemon grove holds up to 40 people standing (seated places are only for Bride and Groom).

If your idea is instead to mix up civil and religious, the alternative option is having the civil ceremony at the Church of San Giovanni which is also located in Torri center and just few meters away from the Lake. Although formerly a church, this venue will celebrate only civil wedding ceremonies!

After this unforgettable celebration, Torri del Benaco hides many beautiful spots for your forever pictures: such as the picturesque harbour plenty of small boats and the characteristic old center of the town.

Here, a delicious aperitif with your guests can be arranged in a typical bar or tavern where, overlooking the landscape, where you can sip a glass of champagne enjoying the breathtaking sunset of the wonderful Lake Garda.

This private Villa has beautiful rooms and gardens and offers different options in terms of rental (from only one room and gardens to the whole villa). Of course this doesn’t mean that more than one wedding is admitted at the same time! Simply, those rooms not rented remain locked.
The choice of the catering is free so there are thousand options: from classical to typical to extremely modern and refined or special ethnic etc…
Aperitif outdoor with live music or piano creates a special romantic atmosphere and for the dinner, depending on the weather, it’s possible to remain outdoor or moving inside the stunning decorated rooms continuing with music and party.
After dinner the cut of the cake and the white table can be enjoyed open air in a magical candle lit setting or inside the dramatic pink room.
The Villa is not a Hotel and doesn’t have accommodations but the area is plenty of possibilities only a walking distance.
You and your guests can spend some unforgettable days in this Town doing excursions, food tasting, gardens visits, boat trips and much more things that will stay forever in your heart and mind!
