Italian weddings by the team of wedding planners at Wedding Italy

Villa Del Balbianello is one the most exclusive and luxury venues on the Lake Como, thanking to its great position in the heart of the Lake. FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano – Italian Environment Fund) preserves the most important Italian monumental Villas and gardens and it manages Villa del Balbianello too. It has agreed us the permission to use the Villa for our events.
The breath-taking ceremony can be celebrated outdoor overlooking the lake. At Villa del Balbianello can be performed civil legally blessing ceremonies from Monday to Saturday.
It is possible to use the villa for just the ceremony or you can also use the villa for the cocktail and the reception.
Depending on the guests number, ceremony can be celebrated on the Terrace (small groups) or under the Loggia (bigger groups).
For groups smaller than 50 guests, the ceremony can be celebrated also while the Villa is still open to tourists (this option is cheaper than having the Villa in exclusive).
For groups of 50 persons and over, ceremonies are only allowed when the Villa is closed to public visitors (this has a higher cost) and therefore with the Villa in exclusive.
The Villa is available at exclusive use:
On Monday and Wednesday at any time (these are Balbianello closing days).
Every day after 6pm.
The rental fees of Villa del Balbianello depend on the guests’ number attending the wedding / event.

Villa del Balbianello has only two small indoor rooms (Library and Cartographer room) available in case of bad weather or particular requests. These rooms are one opposite to the other, at the two sides of the Loggia.
Dinner under the Loggia (which is the only roof covered place of the Villa) is only allowed for groups of maximum 45 guests. Over 45 guests the dinner is served in the Gardens where it’s mandatory to put a marquee.
The cost of the marquee for the dinner is from Euros 14.000 + 20% vat. Additional marquees necessary for the kitchens, for the dance / open bar, chandeliers, tables, chairs and other items have an extra cost to be quoted separately.

Balbianello doesn’t offer any type of accommodations.
Balbianello is open only from mid March to mid November
Balbianello is only reachable by boat, therefore there are extra costs for the transfers to and from the Villa.
