Lake Como is the perfect choice for a romantic and exclusive wedding in the Italian Lakes.

Lake Como's stunning scenery leaves you with no questions as to why for over 2,000 years, poets from Virgil and Catullus to Tennyson and Longfellow have raved about this Lake. But it is impossible to do justice when describing the spectacular beauty of Lake Como, without visiting and understanding it.

Lake Como Weddings – The Best Months

Lake Como weather is known for its Mediterranean climate.

Winter average temperatures range from 2 to 12 degrees. If you want to experience beauty of Lake Como without too many tourists around and enjoy the view of the snow-capped mountains, late fall and winter months are the times to come. If planning a winter Lake Como wedding, take into consideration that the most of the lake towns are resort towns and therefore, from November to the middle of March you will find that most of the hotels, restaurants, and cafes shut.

April, May and early June is the glorious Italian springtime! Trees and flowers bloom, and the weather is usually pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 22 degrees.

An outdoor wedding ceremony is the favourite option, but we suggest you to plan an indoor wedding reception because nights are still chilly. There are many lovely venues with romantic dining rooms that can be even enhanced with lots of candles and gorgeous flower decorations.

Late June, July, August and early September are considered the best months for an outdoor wedding. During this time the days are warm (it can get up to 30 degrees) but the evening temperatures are amazing and you can plan a wedding reception under the stars of Italy.
