Why Lake Como Is One of Europe’s Most Romantic Wedding Destinations
Lake Como has a way of making every moment feel cinematic. Steep mountains, mirrored water, cobbled lanes, and villas that look like they’ve stepped out of an editorial – it’s the ultimate backdrop for couples who want something breathtakingly timeless.
It’s also a destination that rewards good planning.
Distances around the lake can be surprising, light moves quickly, and venues have quirks you’ll want to know about. That’s why having a team familiar with the area makes everything smoother (and infinitely prettier).

Essential Planning Tips for Your Lake Como Wedding
Each season brings its own mood to Lake Como. Here’s what couples should expect.
Build extra time into your timeline
Travel between lakeside towns often takes longer than expected – especially if boats or ferries are involved. Add generous buffers so your day feels relaxed, not rushed.
Boat Transfers Need Coordination
Boat photos are magical, but timing matters. Calm water, midday heat, and last-light all create different moods and your photographer can help plan the perfect slot.
Work With A Local Planner
Local planners know the boats, drivers, traffic rhythms and venue rules. They’re worth their weight in gold when it comes to co-ordinating timelines involving lakeside deliveries
