LA CERVARA – WEDDING VENUE PORTOFINO
The Italian Riviera, with its cliffs, its terraces stepped on the sea, the small villages, the villas and gardens, is a region rich in unexpected corners, hidden treasures not always visible at first glance.
And that’s exactly what happens here, along the stretch of coast connecting Santa Margherita Ligure to Portofino.
Sheltered by a rich vegetation, we discover an ancient abbey that today has become a venue for unique events: we are talking about La Cervara.
La Cervara is an exclusive place, rich of history and with an enviable position.
The Cervara Abbey was built in 1300 by the Benedictine monks.
What immediately amazes is the wonderful Italian garden, even made more charming by its location overlooking the gulf of Portofino.
It’s here, between the garden and the cloister, which the reception of the lucky guests is held, continuing in the beautiful internal halls.
Into the church it’s possible to celebrate religious functions …what better location for a wedding in Liguria, immersed in history, dipped in the vegetation and surrounded by the sea?
La Cervara is not and does not want to become a hotel, but it reserves for its guests the special occasion to stay in the 8 beautifully renovated rooms and suites, overlooking the gulf of Tigullio.
And the experience becomes even more exclusive.
The extreme attention to the plants caring allowed La Cervara to win the prestigious prize Great Italian Gardens.
Once monks kitchen garden, today this is one of the most suggestive Italian gardens overlooking the sea.
You stroll among oleanders, wisteria and camellias, secular and majestic trees, boxwood hedges and a small medicinal plants garden, tribute to the ancient Benedictine monasteries tradition.

VILLA DEL BALBIANELLO, COMO LAKE – top 3 WEDDING LOCATIONs in northern italy
Overlooking the western shore of Como Lake, Villa del Balbianello is the Italian most exclusive venue for a lake view wedding.
Perched on a lovely wooded promontory, the villa boasts a picture perfect location, to be fully enjoyed arriving from the lake.
On the porch floor, guests are welcomed by the motto “do what you want“, in remembrance of the cardinal Durini’s willingness in realizing this evocative place, where to devote themselves to reading and meditation.
With its scenographic position, Villa del Balbianello is a wonderful venue to celebrate the wedding, in a symbolic ceremony or in a rite with civil validity.
The most spectacular place is the loggia, which dominates the terraced garden, with its panoramic view.
The newlyweds and their guests will reach the villa by boat and will dock in the lovely private marina.
From the arrival by boat, to the ceremony under the loggia, going on with the reception and a visit to the marvelous gardens, getting married at Villa del Balbianello means to immerse oneself in a magical atmosphere, where nature blends with elegance.

Getting married in Venice, on a private island.
At San Clemente Palace what might seem like a dream becomes reality.

For couples who choose Venice for their most important day, the San Clemente is certainly the most exclusive location.
The arrival is on the private jetty, just in front of the XII century church, where it’s possible to celebrate the wedding.
