Description
The Experience
Marry the way legends do: in a medieval castle, above the most romantic lake on earth, with nobody watching but the mountains. The Castello di Vezio is illuminated entirely for your ceremony — your celebrant waits on the panoramic terrace, Lake Como spread below in the dusk, and binds your hands with the Red Ribbon Ritual as you exchange your vows. The artisan bouquet and veil, the boutonnière, candles and lanterns along the ancient walls; then the apericena of lake specialities and a bottle of prosecco, toasting inside your own castle. No paperwork, no audience — a thousand years of stone keeping one brand-new promise. The Kiss Me Italy Concierge arranges every detail.
The Setting: Castello di Vezio, Varenna
A medieval castle above Varenna on Lake Como, in exclusive illuminated use for your ceremony: the panoramic terrace over the lake’s three branches as your altar, olive groves and ancient walls as your witnesses.

Joanna & Daniel Gibbs –
It was exactly the wedding we dreamed of: intimate, emotional, and just ours. When we exchanged our vows, with Lake Como beneath us, our hands were both shaking. Flawless organization, we didn’t have to think about anything except living that moment.
