MAGICAL WEDDING ON LAKE GARDA



Morgan and Michael don’t speak a word of Italian, yet their wedding made me feel right at home. Both have Italian roots, as their ancestors emigrated to the United States long ago. Their last names are unmistakably Italian, but more than that, they’ve preserved all the kindness, charm, and zest for celebration that define us as Italians. 


Morgan and Michael planned an unforgettable wedding, starting with two exceptional venues: Torre San Marco for the welcome dinner and Isola del Garda for the ceremony. Both locations, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Garda, brought color and atmosphere to every photo. 


Two extraordinary celebrations unfolded—complete with tenors, sacred ceremonies in opulent churches, and non-stop dancing to live music. 


All the Italian spirit packed into just a few hours!

The Welcome Cocktail at Torre San Marco


The welcome dinner was held at Torre San Marco – a stunning venue I hadn’t discovered before, and I was thrilled to explore. This former watchtower and boat refuge has now been transformed into a stylish restaurant and cocktail garden.


It’s here that Morgan and Michael hosted their guests from all over Italy and the United States for a cocktail reception and buffet dinner.


The night’s headliners? Three tenors who wowed everyone with powerful renditions of iconic Italian opera arias from the past.

Love, Laughter, and Dancing


The welcome dinner took place at The Lodge di Firenze, a modern venue perched in a breathtaking panoramic spot, just a short walk from Piazzale Michelangelo and the Arno River. Against this stunning backdrop,


Marcus and John welcomed their guests with cocktails and delicious canapés, all bathed in the magic of the sunset light, adding a vibrant spark to an unforgettable evening. This intimate gathering perfectly set the tone for a wedding in Florence that was as unforgettable as it was unique.
