Civil Ceremony was held in one of the lovely rooms of Torri del Benaco Castle while for their reception they opted for Bardolino town.
Bardolino is one of the most quaint villages on Lake Garda. It is famous for their vines yards and of course Bardolino wine a precious red wine.

Ceremony was planned to be on the tower of Torri del Benaco castle but it was held in one of the room because of a little shower.
Right after the ceremony gray clouds went away to let a wonderful sun coming out, like in a fairy tale the sky was simply amazing.

Joanne and Justin had the possibility to have stunning pictures on lakeside promenade and in the ancient little road old Torri del Benaco village.

Estella and Diego of Photo27 Studio in Milan were the photographers for Italian Lakes Wedding Team.
Let’s read what Joanne and Justin said about their wedding and their photography service made by Photo27:

We carried out a lot of research to find a photographer for our wedding and Photo 27 immediately impressed with their prompt reply and competitive prices. 
We initially felt a little apprehensive about choosing photojournalism, but we knew we wanted natural photos instead of traditional, posed photos.  There was no need for our apprehension.  Estella and Diego are really lovely, friendly people who put us at ease straight away. 
They captured our day perfectly, from getting ready right up to our reception, taking photos constantly, each capturing different perspectives, yet remaining unobtrusive, they just seemed to fade into the background. 
Our photos are amazing and when we look through them we relive our special day over again. 

We highly recommend Photo 27, their service was impeccable.
Joanne Rees and Justin Phelps

For more information about Weddings in Bellagio Lake Como please contact us.

The majority of people who know Lake Como are actually most familiar with the picturesque western shore of the lake, stretching north from the city of Como, half-way up the length of the lake to the picturesque town of Cernobbio and Menaggio… and not just because George Clooney owns a villa on this stretch of the lake shore! Then, just a short ferry ride from Menaggio is the famous village of Bellagio, a better known tourist and wedding destination.
What most people do not know, is that it takes just another short ferry ride from Bellaggio to reach the most picturesque town on Lake Como: the delightful old village of Varenna, on the eastern shore of the lake, built on a rocky promontory it was for centuries a sentinel at the heart of the lake.
Varenna today is a quietly refined town with romantic panoramas, beautiful old houses and balconies filled with flowers. Varenna is the perfect choice for couples seeking all the charm of an ancient fishing village, and the relaxed atmosphere of this hideaway.
Varenna has a long, shaded lakeside promenade, like Menaggio. But it also resembles Bellagio in the narrowness of its lakefront and the way in which the waterside is linked to the old centre higher up by steep, narrow alleyways. But what distinguishes Varenna from both of the other towns – except on Sunday and August – is a calmer, more peaceful atmosphere. The peace of life in Varenna is somehow slower and more relaxed, especially at its lakeside cafes and restaurants.
Just above the town is the ancient castle Castello di Vezio where Theodolinda, Queen of the Lombards, is said to have died in the 7th century.
On the opposite side of the town centre from the road and pathway to the castle, the route out of town passes the Villa Monastero and the Villa Cipressi.
Villa Monastero, originally a Cistercian monastery built in 1208… and now a wonderful place to visit, with its gardens, arcaded terrace, and arched windows and balconies overlooking the lake.
Villa Cipressi is a public building but managed as a hotel and wedding venue, with beautiful gardens where one can sit, relax, and enjoy the gorgeous views.
Varenna is simply too lovely and pleasant to get married. A destination wedding set in Varenna lends instant ambiance because of the region’s unmatched beauty. With vibrant greens within a lush garden-like setting,

Elegant, charming, ancient, Stresa is the pearl of Lake Maggiore, one of the most wanted destinations wedding in Piemonte. It has been a favorite destination with the British, even Queen Victoria stayed on the shores of Lake Maggiore.

Stresa is located on Lake Maggiore in northeastern Piedmont which borders Lombardy and Switzerland. It is a renowned tourist resort in a picturesque setting facing the equally famous Borromeo Islands.

In order to see Stresa well, it’s important to explore the many alley ways and small cobblestone lanes that make up the town. Not a shopper by nature, Stresa was an invitation to buy! Lovely little pottery shops are found around every corner, and the shopkeepers are more than happy to ship your items home. Also, shops with jewelry, tempting Italian foodstuffs, and cute little bars and trattoria are everywhere.

The lakeside promenades are lined with magnolias, camellias and verbena and many other flowers and Mediterranean trees.
Embarcadero is probably the most crowded place in town. From here you can take the boats for an excursion on the Lake visiting Borromean Islands and their lush gardens and palaces owned by Borromeo Family.

In the 1850s Stresa was one of the most sought-after vacation spots in all of Italy. The rich and famous from all over the world spent their leisure time enjoying the beauty, serenity and romance of Stresa. Consequently dozens of fabulously expensive and ornate Villas were constructed overlooking the lake. Today those same Villas of the world’s richest people are available for your wedding and for your wedding reception.

Stresa offers several ancient and ornate churches where your Catholic ceremony may be held, or your wedding planner can easily arrange for the Protestant, Jewish, Civil or symbolic ceremony of your dreams to be conducted at virtually any Villa, hotel, ancient castle or outdoor garden in Stresa.
Let Stresa make your wedding an event that will be remembered for a lifetime!

The Italian Lake Region is the ultimate place to vow life-long commitment to each other…so, what are the suggested steps to plan a fantastic event over there?

• Get organised
  Buy a proper wedding planner that includes checklists and folders so you can store venue’s details, suppliers’ contacts, contracts, budget information, ideas you get from wedding magazines. Make a list of what needs to be done by way of preparations for the big day. Set yourself a realistic target and aim to complete a few tasks each week.
• Stay focused
  Close your eyes and imagine your wedding…write down how you see it, the colours you like, the setting you dream of, the atmosphere you aim to create, the music you would like to hear. Look at guidebooks to choose the perfect lakeside location, search the Internet for the most magic villa, flick through magazines and books for design suggestions.
• Start emailing
  Once you have a clear idea of what you are after, start communicating with the selected venues via email, ask for prices and comprehensive information. Shortlist a few and take the time to visit them. Once you have found the one you really like, ask them to recommend their preferred suppliers and get in touch with each one of them. Don’t forget to check their websites first to ensure that you like their style.
• Delegate tasks
  Remember, you are not a super hero and you might need some help. Get your friends and relatives involved as much as possible, as delegating tasks is the key to saving time. Most of the people around you are dying to help out anyway…
• Consider hiring a planner
  To help manage your time efficiently and make life easier for yourself generally, consider hiring a wedding planner that speaks the language and knows the local culture. They will be able to locate suppliers and negotiate contracts while keeping you update on progress. Many wedding planners also offer partial wedding organisation, they will only arrange certain aspects of your day, leaving you to handle the most interesting bits.
• Talk to brides
  Talking to other couples, who got married in the same area can help ease your workload. You may want to post a note on a few wedding forums to ask for tips and suggestions.

Good luck!
