Varenna<\/a> is very popular on Lake Como<\/a> for Catholic Weddings.
\nAnd its fame it\u2019s easily understandable: San Giorgio Church<\/strong> it\u2019s absolutely fascinating and, above all, this is one of the few churches of Lake Como which allow to marry the non – residents.
\nAncient, charming and impressive at the same time, this masterpiece lies in the heart of the village and represents the focus of the place itself.<\/p>\n

Varenna<\/a> it\u2019s reachable by private boat or ferry from most of the other towns of the Lake.
\nThis means that although Varenna<\/strong> is lovely you can decide to spend your wedding holidays not necessary based in Varenna itself.<\/p>\n

Helen and Steve<\/strong>, our elegant Asian couple for example, chose to stay in Bellagio with their guests at the well renowned Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni<\/a>.
\nAfter their \u2018getting ready\u2019 and some beautiful shoots, they reached Varenna by boat: a unique occasion to enjoy the lake!<\/p>\n

Once arrived in the main Varenna<\/strong> square, a long stair leads you in front of the main entrance.
\nThis is a perfect setting for the wedding decorations: white and long aisle, flowers and candles create a special and evocative atmosphere.
\nHow can you forget the moment when you step inside the church accompanied by the wedding march notes?
\nI think this is one of the most touching and unforgettable moments in our life\u2026.
\nCrossing the aisle, hearing the people you love murmuring excited, somebody\u2019s crying and\u2026finally you reach the altar for your forever promise of respect and love.
\nThe sound of the Ave Maria<\/a>, the exchange of the rings, every moment will remain in your mind for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n
