"Honestly? The idea that a wedding needs to be big to be beautiful always felt… a little outdated to me."
That sentiment sparked the beginning of Intimate Weddings Como—a boutique planning company with a refreshingly radical perspective. For the founder, luxury isn't about lavish ballrooms or grand entrances. It's about intimacy, authenticity, and intentionality. A three-day experience in a secluded villa with thirty cherished guests? That, to her, is elegance defined.
Rather than orchestrating productions, she curates atmospheres.
"I wanted to design celebrations that feel like an Italian dream—refined, warm, and wildly personal."
What does she love most about the job? "The fact that I get to break the rules—gracefully."
Intimate Weddings Como isn't in the business of replicating Pinterest boards. Instead, the team crafts deeply personal moments that reflect the couple's story. Think candlelit dinners in centuries-old villas, handwritten vows echoing off stone walls, and aperitivos at golden hour—with only your inner circle.
"Turning pressure into presence, chaos into calm—that’s the real magic."
Don’t expect cookie-cutter templates labeled bronze, silver, or gold.
Each offering—from "io e te" elopements to the fully immersive "Festa Italiana"—is a doorway into a tailored experience. These packages aren't about price points. They're about pathways to celebration, each respecting the core philosophy: intimacy is everything.
"Less guests, more meaning."
Intimate Weddings Como reimagines the vendor list as a collective of creators: a planner, a chef, a travel expert, an architect, and a communications specialist. Together, they turn weddings into cinematic escapes across Lake Como—complete with pasta-making workshops, lakeside jazz nights, farewell brunches, and seamless logistics.
"We offer more than services—we offer beautifully lived experiences."
It all begins with a relaxed video call.
From there, couples receive access to a custom wedding hub: a refined digital space for guest lists, budgets, vendor details, and timelines. It's not just organized—it's calming.
"No overwhelm, no chaos—just a beautifully guided journey."
The company’s roots are steeped in the lesser-known side of Lake Como.
"We’ve always specialized in private villas and hidden gems—the kind of places locals whisper about."
And yet, since late 2023, they’ve expanded to include the region's most renowned villas—never sacrificing intimacy for prestige.
"Whether it's a villa behind olive groves or a lakeside landmark, we help couples find their version of magic."
"Treat them like love letters—with a lawyer’s eye."
From translating contracts to negotiating fine print, the team ensures their couples are protected. Their trusted network of vendors eliminates guesswork, ensuring everything aligns with the dream—and nothing is lost in translation.
Rain? It’s not a disaster. It’s a shift in mood.
"Elegance doesn’t panic—it pivots."
Plan B is designed from the beginning. Candlelight replaces sunlight, jazz replaces silence, and surprise becomes part of the story. Emotional readiness is key, and Intimate Weddings Como crafts backup plans that feel just as magical as the original.
"Convincing grooms that linen in July isn’t the hill to die on…and guiding couples from Instagram fantasy to Italian reality."
Destination weddings bring complex logistics and delicate emotions. Intimate Weddings Como orchestrates it all with grace—balancing dream with feasibility, fantasy with flow.
"It’s never about cutting—it’s about curating."
From the beginning, couples receive intelligent budget breakdowns, showing where to invest for maximum emotional return. Whether it's a chef-led brunch or bespoke florals, each choice is guided with meaning and value.
"A timeline is a rhythm, not a checklist."
Every celebration is mapped with care—allowing for spontaneity, light, emotion, and wine. Rooted in local insight (hello, Como traffic), their plans ensure that elegance never feels rushed.
"Stop planning a performance. Start designing a memory."
Let go of the noise. Choose intimacy over excess, people over pressure, and moments over mechanics. Let a trusted team walk with you.
"The celebration doesn’t start on the wedding day. It starts the moment the vision becomes real."
For those who dream not of a wedding, but of a soulful experience in the heart of Italy, Intimate Weddings Como is waiting—with a glass of prosecco and a villa bathed in golden light.
