CERIMONIA E RICEVIMENTO

The festivities culminate in the village of Lenno on Wednesday (09/30) for our Ceremony and Reception. After we exchange vows, we’ll ease into a lakeside Aperitivo hour, then gather for an Italian dinner. The evening flows into dancing and a late-night festa—an unforgettable night of celebration, memories, & Lake Como charm.
