Italian Lakes Wedding Planner

If you travel along the North shore of beautiful lake Bracciano , you will find the lovely little village of Trevignano, a medieval picturesque town, few km North of Rome, which is a real pearl of the lake.

Built on a volcanic lava cliff drop, the village is located on a little gulf, the secondary crater of an ancient volcano.
The medieval Borgo, is well preserved and the beautiful tree-lined promenade that stretches for about 3 miles, with many bars, restaurants and beach resorts, are the perfect setting for a relaxing italian summer vacation and above all for a romantic Italian wedding.

If you are thinking of a civil marriage, it can be celebrated in the beautiful town hall located in the main piazza, right in front of the lake.
The hall is richly decorated with beautiful frescoes and from the window of the ancient palazzo, you may admire the amazing landscape of the lake.

On the other hand, the catholic ceremony can be held in the old Assunta Church built on the ruins of a gothic building that towards the end of the eighteen century it was completely rebuilt in baroque style.

Louise and Robert knew exactly what they wanted: to get married at Orta, a small and very pittoresque village at Lake Orta. Fascinating because of its beauty, its small streets with cafes and little shops, the religious island San Giulio right in front of the main square.

We arranged the civil wedding at the historique townhall called Villa Bossi. The civil wedding takes place outside in the beautiful garden. With the sun shining so nicely, a blue sky, we all waited for the arrival of the beautiful bride Louise. She came with her father in a rowing boat and was welcomed by her 2 bridesmaids before she walked down the natural path which suited as an aisle like in a church.
Happily both said yes in the right moment, our interpreter Irmi was much more in tears then bride and groom! Continue Reading »
