Arriving
A relaxed welcome dinner. The families get to know each other, and by the wedding day everyone is already in holiday mode.
Lake Garda & Italy
Your wedding at Lake Garda, planned in Munich.
Italy is the destination closest to my heart, and Lake Garda is only four to five hours by car from Munich. You get la dolce vita, lake views and Italian food – and a planner who is based around the corner from you and works with local partners on site.

Why a planner from Munich?
A wedding in Italy means a different language, different processes and venues you cannot simply visit on a Saturday. That is exactly what I am here for.
We plan at home
We meet in Munich or by video call. You do not have to travel to Italy for a single planning meeting.
One point of contact
I stay in touch with the venue and vendors on site and bundle everything for you. You get decisions to make instead of email threads.
Partners on site
Italy is my heart's destination. I know beautiful venues by the lake and work with local partners.
With you on the wedding day
I am on site, coordinate the vendors and keep the schedule so you can celebrate with your guests.
The way there
How your Lake Garda wedding comes together
Because so much is decided from a distance, I usually take on full planning at Lake Garda. This is what the journey looks like:
About full planning →- Ideally a year or more ahead
First call and framework
We settle budget, number of guests and time of year. Popular venues are booked far in advance for the summer months, and your guests need time to arrange leave and travel.
- After that
Venue shortlist
I put together a shortlist with everything you need to decide: costs, capacity, accommodation and plan B.
- If you like
Site visit
We visit the favourites together. If that is not possible, I prepare the selection so that you can decide from home.
- In the months before
Vendors, ceremony, guest information
I coordinate everything with the partners on site, guide you through the steps for the ceremony and help bundle travel and accommodation for your guests.
- On the weekend itself
You celebrate, I coordinate
I am on site, from set-up to the last item on the programme.
On site
One day becomes a weekend
Since most guests stay for a few days anyway, a small programme makes sense. If you like, I plan it too.
Your wedding
A ceremony with a lake view, aperitivo, Italian food and a long evening under the open sky.
Winding down
Breakfast together or an outing before everyone heads home or adds a few more days.
For your guests
- By car, it takes about four and a half hours from Munich to the lake.
- Reserve rooms near the venue early.
- Send your guests the travel and accommodation details in one place.
The ceremony
Civil or symbolic ceremony in Italy
You have two options. Which one fits better depends on how much the legally binding ceremony on site matters to you.
Civil ceremony in Italy
You marry with legal effect in an Italian municipality.
- Legally binding
- You need, among other things, a certificate of no impediment from your registry office at home
- Allow enough time for the paperwork
Symbolic ceremony by the lake
Many couples have their civil ceremony at home and celebrate a symbolic ceremony at Lake Garda.
- Not legally binding
- Completely free in location, order of events and language
- No paperwork in Italy
Formalities can change. Your registry office and the local municipality provide binding information; I guide you through the individual steps.

La Dolce Vita, but Colourful
Saying yes among the olive trees, an Italian table in colours nobody expects, and dancing in the winter garden. A romantic villa between Lake Garda and Verona – and plenty of dolce vita, only in colour.

What I bring along
Full planning, coordination on the day or decor to rent: I come to wherever you celebrate.
Yes! Italy is a destination close to my heart. From right here to Lake Garda, I've got you covered - I know stunning locations and plan your wedding on-site with local partners and great attention to detail.
Currently, my focus is on Italy, but I am also happy to support you with planning destination weddings within Europe - just get in touch!
As early as possible, ideally a year or more in advance. The beautiful venues on the lake are booked early for May to September, and your guests need to plan their holiday and travel. Shorter notice is possible too, with more flexibility on date and venue.
