There’s something truly timeless about a wedding on the shores of an Italian lake. A Chic Wedding in a Villa on Lake Maggiore Shores is the perfect example of what makes this region one of the most enchanting places in the Lakes District for a romantic destination wedding in Italy. A Destination Wedding on Lake Maggiore: Romance Meets Italian Elegance

Sarah and Denis kicked off the 2024 wedding season in the beautiful Piemonte region with a stunning destination wedding in Spring on Lake Maggiore. Their journey began more than a year ago when they fell in love with the enchanting beauty of this Italian gem.

Today I have the pleasure of telling you about Polina and Simon’s wedding in Stresa, Lake Maggiore. The ceremony and reception with the magnificent views of Lake Maggiore were perfect. Polina says “The dinner setting we wanted was like a dinner with friends; gorgeous yet simple. It looked like a dinner in the garden of our house.”

Lake Maggiore could be the ideal destination if you are looking for an elegant and chic lakeshore wedding in Northern Italy. 
Only some wedding venues are located directly on the shores. Some have breathtaking views, and some have enchanting interiors, but the few venues that lie on the waters are indeed magic. Villa Rusconi Clerici is one of those, and it is the venue that Mariya and Christian chose for their wedding on Lake Maggiore’s shores.

What a joy is getting back to destination weddings! 2020 and 2021 were crazy for destination weddings, everything was on hold, and we postponed many events.
 August and September were the beginning of a new era. Many couples got back to requests, booking dates, and actual in presence weddings. This is the case of Vera and Jan, who came from Switzerland to have a wedding with a view over Lake Maggiore on September 18th, 2021.
