A casual, but refined wedding! Is it possible?

Yes of course!
Lake Como is very famous for its sophisticated villas, such as Villa del Balbianello or Villa d’Este, but it can also offer many other solutions.

We often receive requests for more informal venues from clients who love this charming lake, but they wish to organise a different wedding. Something classy and young at the same time.
We are glad to inform that this is possible!
Just a few minutes boat ride from Villa del Balbianello, there is a refined beach club overlooking the lake: lovely position, delicious food, charming atmosphere, wonderful view and sandy party before and after dinner, these are its strengths!
But let’s see all in details!

Stylish ceremony at the Beach Club

reathtaking Villa del Balbianello is just a stone throw from the beach club, so why not to have your ceremony there?
It is a perfect solution if you wish to have a romantic and unforgettable ceremony followed by an informal wedding party.
Many couples opt for this solution, like John and Leanne, who got married there in June.
This lovely couple fell in love with stunning Villa Balbianello at first sight, but wished to have a truly creative and modern wedding reception.
Thus, after a touching ceremony and a cheerful aperitif at the Villa, they decided to move by boat to the beach club, without missing the opportunity to take beautiful pictures capturing the charm of the lake.

But of course this is not the only option!
Lake Como offers many other wonderful villas and churches where you can held your wedding ceremony. They are all easily reachable by boat or car.
Just like Yohanne and Dorothee did who chose for a blessing in a gorgeous lake view church and then keep on celebrating with a fantastic party at the beach club.

Last, but not least, at the beach club you can celebrate both civil and symbolic ceremonies.
A legally binding ceremony, for local laws, can only be performed inside a town hall or municipality property, but a symbolic ceremony one can be celebrated on the beach, overlooking the lake.
A bare feet ceremony could be a gorgeous idea for your unconventional wedding, don’t you think?

Informal aperitif on the sand or the grass

fter wedding ceremony emotions, it’s time to relax in the garden or on the beach.
You can choose whether or not you want to rent the whole beach club.
In the affirmative, you will have the exclusive use of all the areas: garden, restaurant, bar and beach. But naturally you can only rent the garden and the restaurant area and enjoy your dancing while your guests mingle and have fun with the other beach club clients.
