A Look Back At Our 2025 Wedding Season

6 August 20266 min read

This year has been a truly special season of beautiful weddings on Lake Garda, with celebrations of all sizes and styles stretching from Riva del Garda to Malcesine.

Our 2025 season began in May in Riva and concluded in September in Malcesine. Every wedding was thoughtfully planned, beautifully decorated, and carefully captured — each one uniquely tailored to reflect the couple at its heart. Dulcie’s meticulous approach meant no detail was ever overlooked, ensuring every celebration was executed to perfection.

Of course, no wedding season is without its unexpected moments. One groom famously managed to drive his vintage Land Rover — brought all the way from Wales — over Nathan’s camera. On another occasion, Dulcie found herself in hospital just days before a wedding, later navigating the big day on crutches. Yet none of these challenges disrupted the celebrations. With the invaluable support of Dulcie’s side-kick and translator, Jeannette, and Nathan’s near-indestructible camera (which even captured the exact moment the wheel rolled over the shutter button), every wedding ran seamlessly.

From May through September, the sun shone generously over the lake, and each celebration was a resounding success. We’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible feedback from our couples and feel incredibly lucky to have made so many wonderful new friends along the way.

Much of spring and summer was spent living and working from our beautiful base in Cassone di Malcesine. Between weddings, we explored the lake by bike, enjoyed wine tastings, and scouted new venues — blending work and pleasure in the best possible way. Being based at the heart of Dulcie’s work has allowed for truly immersive planning, and many of the venues discovered during these journeys are now booked for couples in 2026 and beyond.

Looking ahead, 2026 and 2027 will see us returning to Malcesine and expanding further afield to Verona, Mori, and Peschiera del Garda — continuing our journey of creating unforgettable weddings in one of the most beautiful regions in the world.
