The Varenna Terraces Wedding — Villa Cipressi

Descrizione

Varenna is the village photographers cross the lake for, and Villa Cipressi is its crown: a historic residence whose botanical gardens step down to the water in terraces of cypress, wisteria and centuries-old exotic species. Your wedding takes it whole. The symbolic ceremony with your celebrant is staged on the Front Lake Terrace with the water at your feet; the cocktail moves through the Cipressi and Fountain Terraces as the light lowers; and the reception — lunch or dinner, cake, open bar — unfolds with Varenna’s bell tower above and Bellagio glittering across the lake. All 60 guests sleep in the villa for two nights with breakfast, turning the wedding into a lake-village weekend. Florals, photographer, videomaker with post-production, DJ set, and your dedicated planner and concierge orchestrating terraces, boats and timings — while you simply get married in a botanical garden on Lake Como.

The Venue: Villa Cipressi, Varenna

Villa Cipressi is a complex of historic buildings and terraced botanical gardens descending to the lake in the heart of Varenna, on Como’s eastern shore. Its three ceremonial terraces — Front Lake, Cipressi and Fountain — offer water-level and panoramic settings within the same property, and the villa’s rooms host your entire party. Varenna’s ferry dock is minutes away, connecting Bellagio and Menaggio: dramatic scenery with the lake’s easiest logistics.
