Kyla and Dan envisioned a wedding that felt both deeply personal and spectacularly beautiful, a celebration that honored their heritage while embracing the breathtaking romance of Lake Como. They dreamed of a Villa Pizzo garden chuppah ceremony, an experience where every detail would feel intimate and thoughtful, set against one of the world’s most iconic landscapes. Our shared journey was to weave their story into the fabric of this historic villa, creating a seamless multi-day event that was as joyful for their guests as it was meaningful for them.
The result was a masterful blend of timeless elegance and modern vibrancy. A sacred Jewish ceremony, rich with lush florals, gave way to a sun-drenched Italian aperitivo and a spectacular reception bursting with tropical energy. It was a day that perfectly reflected their love: full of grace, warmth, and unforgettable moments of celebration.

A Ceremony of Heart and Heritage on the Lake
The day began on Villa Pizzo’s magnificent Darsena terrace, the historic boathouse a silent witness to the promises Kyla and Dan were about to make. To create a sense of sacred ground, we designed a verdant aisle of soft grass that stretched towards the lake. It was flanked by abundant arrangements of white flowers and lush greenery, guiding the eye towards the ceremony’s heart: a stunningly dense and artfully crafted floral chuppah.
Against the shimmering backdrop of Lake Como, the ceremony was a perfect harmony of tradition and place. As Sabrina always says, “A truly luxurious event is one where the logistics are invisible, allowing the emotion of the moment to be the only thing you feel.” The smashing of the glass echoed across the water, and the newly married couple recessed down the aisle, their joy radiating to every guest.
An Elegant Italian Aperitivo
The guest experience is paramount in our planning philosophy. After the ceremony, we guided guests on a gentle stroll back towards the villa’s main Italian gardens. This transition was designed to feel like a natural part of the celebration, not a pause. As they arrived, they were greeted by the enchanting music of a walking string quartet.
The atmosphere was one of relaxed, sun-drenched elegance. We curated various food and drink stations where guests could enjoy exquisite canapés and cocktails crafted by expert barmen, all while taking in the commanding views of the lake. It was a moment for guests to mingle, relax, and feel truly cared for within a private, extraordinary setting.
A Vibrant Reception Under Glass
As evening fell, we revealed the day’s final surprise. Inside a grand glass marquee, the classic elegance of the ceremony gave way to a bold, modern, and vibrant reception. The design was a celebration of life, built around a central dance floor and stage. The tables were adorned with unusual, exotic, and tropical flowers, creating a stunning visual contrast to the lakeside romance.
Kyla and Dan made their grand entrance and immediately opened the dance floor with their first dance, inviting everyone to join them in a moment of pure, uninhibited joy. This set the tone for the entire evening. After the short burst of dancing, a flawless dinner service began, punctuated by heartfelt speeches, the cake cutting, and a party that had guests celebrating late into the Italian night.
