We can suggest several churches in different areas of the lake, from the Borromean Islands to the mainland villages.<\/p>\n<h3>Churches on the Borromean Islands<\/h3>\n<p>First of all, you can choose one of the little churches on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/lake-maggiore-weddings\/chic-wedding-pescatori-island-lake-maggiore\/\">Isola Pescatori<\/a> or Isola Bella. Both are dedicated to San Vittore and they are incredibly charming. The church on Isola Pescatori is set inside the tiny fishermen\u2019s village, very quaint and intimate, without a lake view. The Baroque church of Isola Bella, instead, is located right by the shores.<\/p>\n<p>For both options we can plan lovely boat trips to reach the church, with a special arrival for the bride who can make a grand entrance by boat. These two churches are quite small, so they are ideal for intimate celebrations and limited guest numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Beautiful churches along the shores<\/h3>\n<p>If you are expecting more guests, we can suggest several larger churches on the mainland. The church in Lesa, not far from Stresa and easy to reach by boat, is a very good option. Another beautiful choice is the <strong>church in Carciano<\/strong>, in Stresa, located near the lakeshore and offering a lovely view over the water.<\/p>\n<p>We can also recommend the pretty <strong>ancient church in Belgirate<\/strong> or the wonderful complex of churches in Baveno, both within walking distance from two of the top venues for wedding receptions.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we cannot forget the <strong>Sacro Monte di Ghiffa<\/strong>. In this case a van transfer is required, but the journey is absolutely worth it. From this high point you can admire a breathtaking view of the lake and the Alps. Your Catholic wedding on Lake Maggiore will be romantic and deeply atmospheric wherever you decide to say \u201cI do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a

name is Valentina and I work as wedding coordinator on Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore. Before being a wedding planner and coordinator I worked for an American company planning events. I turned into wedding planning for SposiamoVi group, more than 5 years ago. Since Italian Lakes Wedding was founded I work with them to make bride and groom's dreams come true on this wonderful Lakes of North West Italy and Piemonte region. \u00a0\u00a0 l love creating with my couples the perfect event for them following their wishes and needs, helping to find the best solution for their ideas and budget. I like meeting people talking with them and know more about their cultures and traditions. I do like sharing Italian customs with them and working in team with couples to let them experience a real and dreamy Italian wedding! I will be pleased to guide couples along lovely traditional and pedestrian roads of Orta village discovering the beauty of this romantic Lake between villas, traditional restaurants wonderful churches and enchanting St. Julius Island. I will be happy to let couples discover bigger and charming Lake Maggiore with its Borromeo Islands, wonderful hotels and villas overlooking the waters. I'm sure you would be amazed by the beauty of these special corners of Italy so I'm simply wait for you for a lovely experience to create and live together.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/author\/valentina\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/valentina.wp","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/valentina.lombardi.weddings\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/author\/valentina\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lake-maggiore-weddings_featured.webp","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdDUn-3aK","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12198"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54065,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12198\/revisions\/54065"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
