Now back to Sadie and Lane’s elopement at Villa Pizzo..

For Sadie & Lane, the day unfolded slowly and beautifully. Morning preparations took place in Villa Pizzo’s elegant rooms, that served simply as the perfect spaces for a relaxing yet sophisticated moment before the ceremony.

For this beautiful Lake Como elopement at Villa Pizzo, we couldn’t think of a better place for the first look than one of the many exquisite rooms of the luxury villa we carefully selected. The atmosphere of this historic villa feels almost surreal, a perfect reflection of Sadie & Lane’s quiet, heartfelt elegance.

Sadie & Lane’s symbolic ceremony took place in Villa Pizzo’s gardens overlooking Lake Como. We felt incredibly grateful that we got to witness and document their exchange of vows, such an emotional and deeply meaningful moment.

Right after Sadie & Lane’s symbolic ceremony, we made the most out of this incredible villa on Lake Como and took our time for some beautiful couple pictures around Villa Pizzo’s STUNNING spaces.

Located between Cernobbio and Moltrasio, Villa Pizzo is one of Lake Como’s most exclusive and historic villas. With its terraced gardens, lakefront views and timeless charm, it offers an ideal setting for an intimate and elegant Lake Como elopement.

Whether you’re exchanging vows in the gardens or setting sail on a private boat as the sun sets, Villa Pizzo captures everything that makes a Lake Como elopement so uniquely romantic.

Sadie & Lane wanted to add even more charm to their sophisticated Lake Como elopement, so we booked for them a beautiful vintage car that was just the perfect complement to an already classy and elegant day. Of course, the beauty of Lake Como and the incredibly stunning Villa Pizzo’s corners, fitted perfectly well with the whole vintage vibe.

After making the most out of this incredible villa, we all set off on a private Lake Como boat tour at sunset. There is not such thing as a Lake Como elopement without a boat tour on its shimmering waters. Exploring the lake is a must, as you get to experience its unique shores from a completely different point of view. It gives you also the chance to stop and stroll around one of its many little and typical towns, that simply you can’t not visit if you elope in Lake Como! We chose to stop in one of our favourite places, a picturesque village that offered Sadie & Lane a chance to stretch their legs, enjoy the view, and cheer to their day with an ice-cream before continuing their ride as the sun was setting.

Well, what can we say?! What an exceptional day it was!!

This Lake Como elopement at Villa Pizzo was the perfect reflection of what we love most about intimate weddings in Italy — a celebration centred on connection, emotion and the breathtaking beauty of the natural surroundings.

If you’re envisioning a similar experience, we’d love to help you plan and capture it!
