Italy has earned a reputation of a popular wedding destination in the world. Italy is filled with many scenic beauties and has a remarkable history of making it a perfect backdrop to tie the nuptial knot. One such popular venue in Italy which hits the top list for getting married is the Lake Como.

Lake Como is packed throughout the year with wedding ceremonies going year around making it difficult to secure a venue.

Lake Como is an ideal Italian destination wedding venue, requires pre-booking, attention to details, prior planning, and the help of a professional wedding planner.

Tips and advice:

• Prior Booking: Lake Como has limited venues for tying the knot. Hence prior booking is vital to secure a venue. Same applies with churches, and again there are stricter rules for foreigners getting married here. Hence plan, double check and never leave a single loophole. 

• Documentation needs: Plan in advance regarding the paper works and formalities required for getting married in Italy. Discuss with your consultant regarding all the legal paper works and ensure they are done along before your wedding date. So, there are no bad surprises before your wedding date. 

• Invitations and Instructions: Planning a destination wedding in Lake Como sounds like a dream come true. But to ensure everything falls in the right place, do not forget to send the invitation and instructions to your guests abroad. Do not wait for the last moment and send the instructions and information well in advance so that your guests have sufficient time to plan and prepare the travel in advance. 

• Prepare the guest list well in advance: It is ideal to know the headcount of the guests coming to attend the wedding. Else it becomes quite tricky if you are not sure about the total number of guests arriving at your venue. Again one would be confused about the number of settings and seating’s required. It is quite an obvious one being confused and booking a large and spacious wedding venue, although it is meant for an intimate wedding. Hence the whole space goes for a waste. Again nothing is more embarrassing if you book a small venue when the numbers of guests arriving are more. 

• Plan two years in Advance: it is ideal for planning two years if you are opting for a destination wedding. Look into your budget, start initial planning, and hiring local planners well in advance and sending an invitation. 

• When you are near to one year closer to your wedding, start researching and hire staffs such as florist, DJs, musicians, photographers, etc. Consult your wedding planner in this regard as they have local connections in hiring the right talent. 

• Day of event: It is the time to arrange for the cake, the catering and double check the accommodations of your guest, etc. It will be overwhelming to look into the details in this regard; hence, it is ideal to hire the wedding planner who will do it for you.

Conclusion:

Italy is filled with many unique architectures and serene locations ideal for a destination wedding. Planning a wedding in Lake Como will give many fantasy full moments and memories to cherish for a lifetime. One can select any theme for wedding suits your interest and budget.
