As the celebration draws near, we’ll share the exact meeting time and location.

From the meeting point, guests will be transported across the lake by boat to the island where our ceremony will take place.

Following the ceremony, there will be a light aperitif and a chance to enjoy the beautiful Isola del Garda.

Guests will be transported back to shore by boat for an evening of cocktails, dinner, and dancing.
Transportation will be provided in the evening from Torre San Marco during the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. to shuttle you back to your hotels.
Late-Night Note
Our reception will conclude by midnight.
Please note that Torre San Marco also serves as a late-night venue and will open to the public at midnight as a disco.
Should you wish to keep the party going, you're welcome to stay and dance into the night—or enjoy the piano bar and mingle with the locals.
After all, you're in Italy... why not live a little?
Should you choose to stay after the reception ends, you will have to pay for cocktails as our open bar service will finish when our event ends.
Return transportation will not be provided after 1:00 a.m.
For your convenience, we’ve recommended hotel accommodations within walking distance of Torre San Marco.
Please note that ride sharing services like Uber are not readily available around the lake and taxis can be very limited.
Wedding Day Attire
Attire: Formal Garden Attire – Italian Style
Dress to impress—after all, the Italians know a thing or two about fashion!
Ladies: Flowing midi, tea length, or floor-length maxi dresses in light, breathable fabrics.
Soft florals, sun-washed hues, romantic pastels, or elegant jewel tones all complement the setting beautifully.
Kindly avoid white—it’s the bride’s color for the day. Grazie!
Shoes: We recommend saving your sky-high stilettos for another occasion and opting for something more practical—and comfortable—for the day.
Block heels, wedges, or elegant flats are your best bet.
This is Italy—the land of cobblestone streets.
You’ll be getting on and off a boat, and we’d like to avoid any broken ankles or heels stuck between dock planks (or sinking into the gardens!).
Gents: Lightweight suits—linen or cotton blends in light tones—paired with a crisp shirt.
Ties are optional but encouraged for a classic touch.
Shoes: Stylish yet practical for an outdoor wedding.
Think la dolce vita—effortless elegance under the Italian sun.

Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:20 p.m.

Boat Tour
12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
After brunch, we’ll say arrivederci to Lake Garda with a scenic cruise to Sirmione, one of the lake’s most beloved and fairytale-like towns.
Boats will pick up and return to the pier in Gardone Riviera near the Grand Hotel Gardone.
Attire: Casual and comfortable.
Light, breathable fabrics encouraged—think breezy dresses, linen separates, or relaxed resort wear.
Anything goes! Just don’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats, and boat-friendly shoes for a memorable send-off.
