Villa Vittoria is a gorgeous property located on the western shore of Lake Como. The historic 19th century villa has beautiful lake-views and a romantic setting. Since it’s a little off the main tourist area, it offers more tranquility.

We had an intimate rehearsal dinner for thirty for Mikayla + Collin, set against the magnificent view of Lake Como. We had an inviting dinner spread with Italian fare like croquettes, bruschetta, burrata, cold cuts, pizza, ravioli, sorbet and tiramisu to name a few, topped off with selection of coffees. The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, tears, and plenty of laughter, making it a beautiful prelude to the wedding celebrations.

At the end of the night, the quickest way for us vendors to get back to our lodgings was a nighttime boat ride across the lake. Seeing the busy lake get so quiet at night, dotted with lights from the surrounding buildings was a bucket list moment we didn’t even know we had!
