Why We Love Planning Weddings at Villa del Balbianello
As a protected national monument managed by FAI, Villa del Balbianello operates under a specific set of regulations. Navigating these rules, from musical limitations to approved vendor lists and strict timelines, can be daunting for those unfamiliar with them. This is where our value becomes indispensable. Our deep, personal relationships with the villa’s management and our years of experience orchestrating events here allow us to overcome these complexities effortlessly.
We handle the intricacies with invisible precision, ensuring you and your guests only ever experience the pure magic of the day.
Event Spaces: Ceremony, Reception, and More
The villa is a masterpiece of design, offering a series of stunning backdrops for each chapter of your celebration.
The Loggia Durini
This is the villa’s most iconic and sought-after space for the ceremony. Its three signature arches perfectly frame the panoramic lake view, creating a breathtaking natural altar for your vows. The atmosphere here is one of pure romance and cinematic grandeur.
Loggia Segrè
Located at the highest point of the property and connected to the main villa’s historic library, the Loggia Segrè offers a more intimate and private setting. Its elevated position provides stunning, sweeping views of the estate and the lake, making it our preferred location for the official signing of the register or for hosting a sophisticated cocktail hour.
