Move over, Lake Como—Lake Maggiore is having a moment! Tucked away in the stunning Italian Lakes region, this gem of a destination is becoming the go-to spot for couples looking for a romantic, picture-perfect wedding in Italy... without the sky-high price tag.

So, why are more and more couples saying “I do” on Lake Maggiore? Here are just a few reasons:

 

​It’s Just as Beautiful (But More Affordable!)

Lake Maggiore offers the same jaw-dropping scenery as its more famous neighbour, Lake Como—sparkling waters, grand villas, mountain backdrops, and lush gardens. The big difference? It’s typically much more budget-friendly. From venues to accommodation, you get incredible value without compromising on beauty or charm.

Perfect for Religious Ceremonies

For couples dreaming of a traditional Catholic ceremony, Lake Maggiore is an excellent choice. The area is home to many beautiful, historic churches, some with panoramic views and rich cultural heritage. It’s a lovely way to incorporate meaningful tradition into your destination wedding.

Elegant Villas and Dreamy Venues

Whether you're after a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, Lake Maggiore has a range of stunning wedding venues to choose from. Think elegant lakeside villas, charming boutique hotels, manicured gardens, and venues where you can arrive by boat.

More Space, Less Fuss

Unlike some of the busier, high-profile destinations, Lake Maggiore still has that tucked-away, “best-kept secret” feel. It’s easier to find availability at popular venues, your guests can enjoy a more relaxed experience, and there’s generally less stress when it comes to logistics.

Authentic Italian Feel

Lake Maggiore has all the romance of the Italian lakes, but with a more local, authentic vibe. You’ll find charming lakeside towns, traditional Italian hospitality, and plenty of opportunities for your guests to explore the area before or after the wedding—without getting lost in a sea of tourists.

A Celebration to Remember!

From al fresco dining and aperitivo hour by the water, to late-night dancing under the stars, weddings on Lake Maggiore are full of unforgettable moments. And the best part? It feels luxurious without the price tag that often comes with more ‘famous’ destinations.

Lake Maggiore is beautiful, romantic, a little more relaxed—and a lot more affordable. It’s no wonder more couples are choosing it as the place to start their happily ever after.

Thinking about tying the knot on Lake Maggiore? We’d love to help make it magical.
