L
A BREATHTAKING LOCATION
Wedding location was kept secret to be a surprise up to the very last minute for most of the guests.
Only when they all got on the boat from the jetty at Gardone Riviera, they realise that their destination was going to be unique and special one.
As the matter of fact they were on their way to Garda Island, a private island in the centre of Lake Garda. On the island there is an ancient neo-gothic Venetian palace. It is set in magnificent gardens and it arises just from the banks. The villa has been owned by Cavazza family for generations and still is. The family live in this unique setting overlooking Lake Garda taking care of all a villa like this could require with care an passion.
Katherine and Alexander’s symbolic ceremony took place on the ramparts high above the waters of the lake.
Everything from floral decorations to fans at the ceremony echoed the specific style chosen by bride and groom.
A FLORAL FRAME FOR AN ELEGANT CANDLELIT DINNER
After the ceremony, a refreshing aperitif awaited the guests, in the shade of a huge Bouganville tree that climbs on the terrace of the villa. The view of the lake from the big terrace was framed by the classic Italian garden with its bushes, exquisite flowerbeds and luxuriant plants: a perfect atmosphere for the longest day of the year!!
Before dinner, Katherine went to the upper lodge and tossed her bouquet down to her all single ladies who were waiting with trepidation below on the garden.
Right after such a great moment, everyone made their way up to the splendid lodge decorated with its fine frescoed ceiling and arches overlooking the lake.
Candlelit wedding reception was something truly out of fairy-tale! Delicate lavender and lemon scents from the floral centrepieces, the backdrop for the lake that lit up slowly through the reflection of the lights from the shore was simply amazing, a remarkable, unique scene!
Little bottles of Limoncello produced with local lemons were the perfect favor for guests!
Aviaries and wicker baskets completed the country chic atmosphere of dinner at the lodge.
LANTERNS AND FLOATING CANDLES, THE MAGIC OF THE NIGHT
At the end of dinner candles guided Katherine and Alexander’s guests to the most luxurious and sumptuous part of the gardens.
Here the walls of an old boathouse were completely covered with white wooden lanterns. A magical entrance towards a tiny bridge in the park where the wedding a lemon and lavender themed wedding cake awaited Katherine, Alexander and their guests.
The evening continued with music and dancing under the gazebo, where the DJ had everyone bopping until the early hours.
Before saying goodbye to this special island, newlyweds and their guests released flower shaped floating lanterns. A superb close to a magical day!
A very special thanks to photographers Daniele Borghello and Edgard De Bono of Morlotti Studio in Venice, they had the perfect eyes to capture every single moment of such a great day!

Dear Team,
We are looking to getting married in 2018. It would be a civil ceremony with circa 70 Guests. I was wondering if you could send me some information over. We would ideally like it to be all in the one place or possibly a boat trip for all guests to another destination, accommodation for guests could be separate.
We are not really into typical traditional weddings as we find them all very similar, so we are looking for something different, beautiful and unique.
We have seen the Insole Del Garda island which looks amazing, costs for this would also be appraised but also open to other suggestions or recommendations.
Scope
-Accommodation for all guest
-The hire of a coach to ferry guests from Airport to place of stay, depending on cost.
– Either a large mansion with land with costs for hiring caterers, seating/tables etc.
– Boat trip for all guests, drinks canapés. Not a ferry…..
Any there Extras or suggestions would be great.
Many thanks
Regards

Hi Katiuscia,
I hope you’re well! I’ve emailed to your general enquiries about this venue for late May 2018 but I’ve not heard back yet. I’m conscious that you’re probably super booked and busy- what is the best email to get you on? I’d love to know if we could work together. 🙂
Thank you!
Sarah

Hi, I am trying to help my friend plan her wedding. There is no budget set yet, as we dont know the prices of having a wedding in Italy. there will be approximately 50 guests, whom all will be flying in for the wedding. They will all require accommodation as well. The idea is to have the wedding in a villa or vineyard. Preference is that it is outdoors. Would you be able to advise on options and costing?
We really like the venue chosen for Katherine and Alexander’s wedding on 21 June as you have on your site.
Dear Paola,
thank you so much for your kind request, Katherine and Alexander’s wedding is really beautiful.
We are already in touch by e-mail and I will send you some information on this amazing venue.
Best Regards
Katiuscia
Hi, my fiancé and I are looking at potentially getting married in lake Garda or Como in 2021. We do not have a budget set just yet as we are not sure how much things cost. We are looking at approximately 50-60 guests some of which will be children so would need somewhere child friendly.
Would it be possible to send over some information and prices on different venues? We would also be looking for accommodation for all guests.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Dear Leanne,
the idea of getting married on Lake Garda or Lake Como is absolutely stunning.
The two lakes are very lovely and different each other in terms of atmosphere.
We will send you some first information very soon.
Best Regards
Katiuscia
