Planning a wedding at Villa Lario involves more than coordinating the wedding day itself.
Because the property can accommodate guests for several days, the planning also needs to consider accommodation, meals, boat transfers, activities and the way the different spaces will be used throughout the stay.
My role is to bring these elements together, from selecting the right creative partners to coordinating the logistics and looking after your guests.
If you are considering Villa Lario, I would be happy to help you understand how the property could work for your guest list, your priorities and your overall budget.
A Villa Lario wedding currently starts at around €230,000 for a three-day wedding with approximately 80 guests, based on the planning information used for the venue. The final investment depends on the date, guest count and services included.
For the best use of the property’s different spaces, I recommend around 80 guests for the reception.
Yes. Villa Lario has 18 suites across four areas of the property, making it possible for the couple and their closest guests to stay on site.
Yes. Villa Lario is licensed to host legally binding civil ceremonies, with the local Mayor officiating at the property.
It can be particularly well suited to American couples bringing family and friends to Italy because accommodation, wedding spaces and many guest activities can be organized around the same property.
Yes. Villa Lario has a private pier, which makes boat arrivals, excursions and transfers around Lake Como possible.
Villa Lario is located in Pognana Lario, directly on the shores of Lake Como.
Where do we start? Muriel and Audrey have been nothing short of incredible. The International Wedding Planner service is expensive but it’s worth every single penny. Our needs and vision were listened to, Muriel brought it to life and so much more. From finding vendors, coming up with ideas and supporting us when we felt stressed, they have been brilliant. On the day itself, Muriel just came into her own. She managed everything, I felt relaxed and calm. Our day was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!!! Book these lovely ladies xx
The most important choice when getting married is of course the person you marry. The second most important choice you make is the wedding planner. Muriel Saldalamacchia is so much more than a wedding planner. She was our guide and muse, championing our cause with vendors (all wonderful) and keeping us focused on the many decisions we had to make. Muriel is a warm, caring and kind person with a serious commitment to joy and beauty. Those qualities made what is otherwise a trying and difficult time an incredible ride! The magical weekend of love and celebrations that the bride and groom envisioned came to life in the most spectacular way. Thank you, Muriel to you and your incredible team!
Wow! This was truly an incredible experience! From start to finish, everything was phenomenal and coordinated professionally and efficiently! Thank you for such a memorable day!
Muriel is the best of the best. She is not only organized, trustworthy, and detail oriented, but she treats her clients like family. She has a very high taste level and is very meticulous. Her vendor connections and venue relationships in both provence and lake como area are invaluable. She thinks 10 steps ahead, I felt at ease on my wedding day, and the months leading up knowing that she had everything running flawlessly. I cannot recommend her enough.
THE BEST OF THE BEST !
Muriel was amazing, she understood our wedding idea/plan from the beginning.
She is smart, meticulous, creative. We couldn't have had our perfect wedding without her.
We highly recommend her for your big day, events etc.
Muriel was absolutely phenomenal to work with. We entrusted her with planning our overseas elopement, and she exceeded every expectation. From the first meeting to the final detail, she was organized, responsive, and truly invested in making our day perfect. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, her communication was clear and timely, and she made planning from another country feel completely seamless.
Our wedding day was flawless—every element came together beautifully thanks to her behind-the-scenes coordination. Muriel has such a gift for turning a vision into reality and doing it all with warmth and grace. We can’t thank her enough for creating a day that felt so personal and unforgettable.
