They decided to hold their ceremony in a warm Mediterranean summer in a very special location of Villa Cortine. This is an ancient villa located near the center of little town of Sirmione, a delightful Italian spot, famous for its peculiarity. It is situated in the middle of Lake Garda!
Sirmione and its surroundings is just the perfect scenario to enjoy medieval Italian culture, craftsmanship and fashion habits while filling eyes of nature’s beauty and without having to worry about noise and cars.

Villa Cortine sits upon the hill in the heart of such stunning peninsula, which was rendered immortal by the lyrics of Roman poet Catullo, and dominates the entire basin of Lake Garda.
A centennial park of rare essences and fragrant bushes surround the neo classic style villa built in 1870 by an Austrian nobleman Kurt von Koseritz, officer of art and Italian culture.
The wide park is embellished with nine different fountains and a main one, called Neptune. It greets guests at their entrance just wonderful! At the far end guests can either enjoy Lake Garda’s clear waters or sun bath on the pier of the villa. But Paul and Annette chose this venue also for the superb frescoes and interiors of the palace were precious marbles, byzantine stuccoes and polychromatic decor executed by Brera Academy revive the splendour of the past and delights adults and child.

This beautiful setting is the backdrop to the emotion of the preparations enhanced by a love message from the groom to the bride.

Very lucky indeed was their little daughter that could fill her young eyes with the finest Italian art. She was a very pretty little valet of the wedding, much in tone with the elegant sobriety of the location, her silky dress matching the interiors of the villa.

For Irish family this is still a very important institution and in Paul and Annette photos we can see a tender love emanating between the couple and their daughter, who was actively involved in the preparation of her parents’ wedding.

Ceremony started: a symbolic gathering was prepared in the huge park of the villa. The blooming garden, the typical bright blue sky of Italian summers and the light dresses made the participants of the event appear like light butterflies sharing a moment of grace. Paul’s and Annette’s vows were pronounced in a dream like setting, and this memory will be the most treasured of all.

Quite a peculiarity was the high number of best men and maids of honor! Guys looked very formal in their white shirts and creamy trousers…

But… could not resist and show off a pair of crazy socks whit the word CRIMINAL knitted on them! Worn also by the groom himself!

The lovely girls instead could show off loose white dresses that let shoulders by kissed by the lovely Italian sun, with full attention, they watched the ceremony while fluttering their lacy fans in this warm Italian summer day.

As a further statement of their love, they crossed their cricket bats to symbolize their union and took a picture of it. In fact both Paul and Annette are cricket players and estimators. May their love have sprung from cricket grounds?

After the ultimate yes, the tension is loosened and gave way to joy and fun.

And then guests awaited in the hall of the villa the married couple to wish them good luck and start the celebration.

When the dancing started the most happy of all was Paul’s and Annette’s daughter that delightfully could start swirling at the centre of the hall together with her mum in the most perfect Irish dancing tradition! And with all that space available, we are sure they had all the fun that a day like this deserves.

We agree with the young lady in the last photo that Paul’s and Annette’s wedding was really a fine one, the kind that every couple deserves in their most important day!

A very special thank goes to Photo27, official photographers of the event how did a great job! All details and special moments of the day will remain forever in their special pictures. We are sure Annette and Paul loved their service as we also did!

And finally… Our best wishes to this wonderful couple!

One of the main feature of Abbazia di Santo Spirito – Villa Giannone is that it is the only venue in Piemonte and Lombardy region that has a private chapel inside the venue itself. The romantic chapel can host your legal religious ceremony but the ceremony can be held also outdoors in the lovely garden.
Your reception can be hosted in the garden too or inside the ancient armory with arches that can seat up to 180 guests.

And let’s not forget how close the Abbazia is to Milano Malpensa airport!

Once you go inside the Abbazia you will breath the atmosphere of ancient times. The building was edified in mid 1200 by Humiliated Monks who used to farm and wool weaving.

At that time the tower was built and this is the real symbol of the Abbazia. In 1200 too was also built the pretty little private church where bride and groom can celebrate their evocative and romantic wedding.

During centuries Abbazia had several owners that changed this convent in a luxury court with horses and dogs for hunting.
At the end of 1700 Abbazia was acquired by Giannone family who is still the actual owner. The Abbazia now is a wonderful venue for elegant country weddings.

Abbazia di Santo Spirito – Villa Giannone is surrounded by a wide park with secular trees and blooming areas. The venue faces a lawn where you could celebrate your outdoor religious ceremony in the nature, such an enchanting atmosphere!

At the end of the park there is a rustic portico with stone columns with scented jasmines on. It could be the perfect place for your buffet aperitif. Over here you can also arrange lovely garden furniture or even tables and chars for your outdoor wedding meal.

From the park you can reach the reception room directly.
It can host up to 180 guests and it is embellished with frescos and brick arches. The room appears like an ancient armory a real masterpiece of architecture.

And it is not over! Abbazia has other surprises for you: the Corte Antica. It is a special area of the venue which is specially reserved to bride and groom and their wedding pictures. Corte Antica is a lovely portico with a pretty and stylish Italian garden enriched by a roses pergola, lemon trees and other secular trees.

One of the most famous area is Gardone Riviera where tourists come from all over the world to visit Il Vittoriale (ancient complex of houses, museums, gardens and theaters built from Gabriele D’Annunzio, who lived there, together with the architect Maroni) and the fascinating surroundings.
Gardone Riviera is located on the west side of Garda Lake and close to the well-known Salo’ Town. This small lovely village is one of the few where both civil and religious ceremonies can be celebrated.
In fact, the general rule of Lake Garda Churches is that non – resident couples aren’t allowed to get married here.

Originally, this building was one of the hunting lodges of the Austrian imperial family: the “faisanderie”.
The hotel beauty and lake view is astonishing and completed by a 12.000 sq. meters private park all around. A perfect set for an extremely chic wedding.

As I mentioned already, the symbolic ceremony can be arranged in the magnificent park, followed by an impeccable reception in the breathtaking halls where the elegance of the décor and fine eye for detail evoke the opulence of the past eras, allowing the guests to live one day in a different world.
