Attention: UPDATE July 2011
Hotel Restaurant Villa Crespi IS NOT ASSOCIATED to Italian Lakes Wedding Team anymore because of their new policy on weddings.

As alternative to Hotel Restaurant Villa Crespi you can find on these pages the best venues, villas, restaurants and hotels recommended by Italian Lakes Wedding.

Villa Crespi,a former princes’ residence of the 18s century, built in moresque style and facing the Orta lake has no equivalent in Europe: only few other wedding venues can compete with it’s fascination and charme of ancient oriental fairy tales.

To give you an idea of this marvellous place I would like to invite you to take a glance at the PHOTO GALLERY, created by Enrico Mocci from Studio ArteFotoArona at Orta San Giulio. Enrico Mocci is a photographer specalised in weddings. His style is warm, intriguing, rich in facettes of light and shadow; and he is experienced in weddings at Villa Crespi.

The photo gallery I show you today has been taken from Eibhlin and Paul’s wedding and Sandra and Jeremy’s. These 2 examples illustrate in a perfect way Enrico Mocci’s qualities as photographer in synergy with the oriental beauty of the enchanting Hotel Villa Crespi at Orta San Giulio.

Please notice how briliantly accompanied both photographic albums are by singer Karin Brides. Thanks to her vast repertiore, ranging from Opera to Cabaret/Chanson and Jazz/Blues, soprano Karin Brides is the perfect choice for an elegant and sophisticated accompaniment during your wedding day at Villa Crespi.

Last month prestigious soprano singer Karin Brides, has joined the Italian Lakes Music Team. Karin is gifted with a splendid voice and notable international experience in the musical area and furthermore she sings in numerous languages, English, German, French and Italian.
Recently i had the pleasure to meet Karin Brides for a chat about her activity as soprano singer at weddings. Karin is extremely gentle and cordial and deeply loves her work.
You immediately will notice this while reading this interview!

• Hi Karin, welcome to Italian Lakes Wedding Blog. What is it about your wedding music business that you are most proud of?
  Every wedding I worked at I left bride, groom and the guests deeply touched and thankful. Their reactions made me realize that the music and the singing contributed in a major way to keep the energy high, to create a peak time for them.
• How do you work with clients to choose musical selections for weddings?
  I figure out what kind of music taste they have and see if they have already songs or arias in mind.
  When I found out about the style of wedding they choose, if more private, casual or grande and official, whether a religious or civil ceremony. Then I look for songs that fit their style and location and together we create the program.
  I figure out the couple’s expectations and then work out the details or/and make some other proposals to accomplish the sound-scenery. Continue Reading »

My name is Karin Brides.
I am classical trained singer, a soprano with a wide vocal range and versatile repertoire. I live on the shores of lake Como and I dearly love it.

Born and raised in Germany I simultaneously studied Lyric Soprano voice and painting/visual arts. I worked and studied in NYC at Off Broadway productions at the Sage Theatre. One of the teachers I owe most to is Andrea Mellis from the Vienna Conservatory, head of the Musical section.

As a co-producer , director and performer I created a Music Comedy Theatre piece based on Opera, Musical and Cabaret. Besides this I worked as a Jazz/Blues vocalist in various groups, starting to enlarge my repertoire into the Pop range while working at corporate events. I also started to sing on Weddings at that time and realised how much I loved that.

During my London time, together with an English colleague, I created an Anglo-German Cabaret Show programme. We toured in Europe but where also called several times by the Royal National Theatre, Southbank in London. I also performed my solo opera show program, tailored for private and corporate events intertwining it with my work as a wedding singer.

I am very passionate about singing at wedding. This kind of work enables me and gives me the opportunity to contribute to this very special moment in people’s lives. There is something magical and unique about weddings. Everybody is emotional and in a solemn mood, positive tension and expectation lies in the air. It is wonderful to be part of that atmosphere and enhance it with soul touching music.

My name is Martha J.

I have been working in the Italian music scene for more than twenty years and in the last few years part of my activities has been focused on private parties (weddings, anniversaries…) and corporate events (conventions, meetings,…).

In my experience, I saw many brides and grooms spend a lot of time and efforts in choosing the right “ingredients” for their big day: a perfect dress, a nice church, lovely surroundings, a gorgeous villa, beautiful flowers…
What they much too often leave as a last minute choice is music, which is considered a less important “ingredient”.

Remember that music represents the soundtrack of you wedding day and a good soundtrack can make the difference!

That’s why I am here to help you find the right music for you big day!

A wedding without music is like a movie without a soundtrack!
Let me help you find the right soundtrack for your big wedding day!

Our secret is that: you have fun…because we have fun! We can change the musical program according to your requests; we can change musical styles just reading-through your guests’ tastes.

It will be a pleasure for me to play at your wedding or to help you stage the music that suits your tastes, because I am sure that, in the years coming, when you close your eyes and think of your big day, my music will play again in your heart!
