Lake Como weddings

Wedding villas on Lake Como

Lake Como has drawn wedding parties for generations, and it is easy to see why. Guests can arrive by boat, the ceremony can take place in a garden above the water, and dinner can run late on a terrace facing the mountains. May, June and September offer the kindest weather and the softest evening light.

Only villas that accept events appear among the 21 below. They include two 18th century lakefront villas in a seven acre park at Blevio, looking across to Cernobbio and Laglio; a historic residence at Tremezzina with stuccoed halls, a private art collection and a heated pool; and a 16th century palace at Torno beside a waterfall, reached by boat, helicopter or car. Every owner sets rules on guest numbers, music and curfews, and we check them with you before anything is agreed.

Arrivals by water

A lakefront villa lets guests arrive by private boat from Como or the central villages, which makes the start of the day part of the celebration.

Choose the season carefully

Late spring and early autumn avoid the height of summer heat, and villa gardens are at their fullest in May and June.

Owner rules come first

Guest numbers, amplified music and finishing times vary from villa to villa; we confirm them in writing before you plan anything else.

Questions before you choose

Can we legally marry at the villa?

A civil ceremony with legal effect usually takes place at a town hall or an authorised venue. Many couples complete that formally and then hold a symbolic ceremony and celebration at the villa.

How many guests can a villa host?

It depends entirely on the owner and the property. Some allow a large reception in the gardens, others only an intimate dinner. We check the limit, music and curfew for each villa you shortlist.

How do we start planning?

Send your preferred dates, guest numbers and up to five villas in one enquiry. We reply within one working day with availability, price and each owner's conditions for events.
