What better way to begin a Lake Como destination wedding weekend than with an unforgettable sunset welcome dinner cruise surrounded by family and friends. Set against the iconic beauty of Lake Como, this experience was designed as a meaningful gathering, celebrating connection, travel, and the joy of coming together in one of the most romantic destinations in the world.
Guests boarded a private boat to enjoy an evening of exceptional food, fine Italian wine, and live entertainment while cruising across the lake. As the sun began to set, they were treated to breathtaking views of historic villas, charming waterfront towns, and some of Lake Como's most iconic viewpoints—an experience that felt both luxurious and deeply personal when shared with loved ones.
Before the cruise began, the bride planned a surprise moment just for the two of them. She rented a vintage black Porsche and invited her soon-to-be husband to take a quiet drive around the lake. an intimate pause before the celebrations ahead. The couple arrived together at the dock, savoring a private moment of reflection, excitement, and gratitude before joining their closest family and friends.
The groom’s reaction said it all: pure surprise, joy, and a smile that never left his face. The bride, equally glowing, delighted in knowing that creating meaningful moments for the person she loves most was the perfect way to begin their wedding weekend.
A welcome event that embodied luxury destination wedding planning in Lake Como was intentional, emotional, and unforgettable. The perfect opening chapter to a weekend celebrating love, travel, and a once-in-a-lifetime union.
01 The Welcome Cruise
From the very beginning, the bride knew exactly what she wanted: a Lake Como destination wedding with a high-fashion, black-tie aesthetic and a timeless James Bond–inspired elegance. She was drawn to our work and, without hesitation, trusted us to do what we do best - plan, execute, and design a wedding experience that was both flawless and unforgettable.
Throughout the year, the bride and I collaborated closely, scheming, dreaming, and refining every detail. With each concept we presented, her trust remained unwavering. This level of trust is deeply valued because when clients truly hire us for our expertise, the result is always extraordinary, and this wedding was a perfect reflection of that philosophy.
The celebration unfolded on the iconic shores of Lake Como, where timeless luxury met intentional design. Guests were welcomed by a string quartet dressed in refined attire, setting the tone as they walked the ceremony path surrounded by beauty and sound. A dramatic black carpet was laid to allow the bride’s gown to truly shine, leading to a striking ceremony platform adorned with elegant double calla lilies that continued down the aisle.
Every detail was curated with purpose, from the tasseled hotel check-in escort cards and custom menus to monogrammed martini embellishments, bespoke table numbers, and embroidered monogram dinner napkins as keepsakes. Nothing was overlooked. Even the evening’s spectacular fireworks display was deeply personal. The bride and groom carefully curated the music for a seven-minute fireworks show, flawlessly timed and executed by our team. As the music swelled, the sky above Lake Como lit up in perfect harmony, a breathtaking moment shared with their closest family and friends.
As the night continued, the bride changed into a dazzling, sparkling party dress, ready to dance the night away before closing out the celebration with an intimate indoor after-party at the villa.
The following day, guests gathered once more for a relaxed poolside brunch overlooking the hotel’s swimming pool. An opportunity to relive the memories and savor the magic of the weekend.

"Working with Isabelle and her assistant Lauren for our wedding was the absolute best decision we could have made! Being based out of state, we had no idea where to start with vendor selection, but Isabelle introduced us to her strong network of vendors and we were thrilled with each and every one we worked with. Shockingly, I felt almost no stress throughout the entire planning process because of Isabelle’s attention to detail, deep knowledge/expertise, and guidance that she gave us over the many months we worked with her.
It was always a pleasure to speak with Isabelle on our planning calls because of her warmth, kindness, and thoughtfulness as we worked through everything. What also drew us to Isabelle’s work is her impeccable taste and eye for design. We were so happy with the aesthetics of our wedding and could not have wished for a better outcome. I would highly recommend working with Isabelle and her amazing team to anyone planning an upcoming wedding or event."
