April 21, 2017
Dear friends, scouting for wedding venues in the most beautiful locations in Italy is one of the things I love the most about my job, and this week I explored the beautiful area around Lake of Como. This is a popular destination that attracts tourists from all over the world and, as you might expect, there are several spectacular wedding venues, in which to host a memorable ceremony for your guests. Here’s my personal selection of the top 5 wedding venues on Lake of Como.
“That branch of the Lake of Como, which turns toward the south between two unbroken chains of mountains, presenting to the eye a succession of bays and gulfs, formed by their jutting and retiring ridges, suddenly contracts itself between a headland to the right and an extended sloping bank on the left, and assumes the flow and appearance of a river.”
Alessandro Manzoni
This is how one of the fathers of modern Italian Literature, Alessandro Manzoni, described Lake of Como in his novel The Bethroted. To this day, it is nigh on impossible not to quote this passage when describing the lake, which was ranked by the Huffington Post in 2014 as the most beautiful lake in the world.
Many travel to Lake of Como, drawn by its unique charm, laced with a faint air of mystery. The fact that a number of celebrities – actor George Clooney among them – have elected to reside or holiday here has contributed to the lake’s international popularity. Lake of Como was also features in several Hollywood movies, which has made it even more iconic and internationally recognisable.
I can think of few places that would provide a more elegant and romantic backdrop for your wedding. The choice of wedding venues in this area is vast and the quality is particularly high. What follows is a carefully selected list of my personal favourites.
