Lake Maggiore

We wanted our wedding to be relaxed but an experience our guests would never forget and I think we achieved this 110 percent!  Our friends are still raving about it now!  The setting of course is stunning and couldn't fail to impress, but the catering and service was outstanding, our speeches ran over a little, ok a lot(!), and I was concerned the next course might be ruined, but they managed to bring out hot and high quality food as soon as the speeches were finished. Please thank the DJ, he did a top job in getting everyone dancing, the photos will be hilarious! My favourite part was the boat trip on the lake, I think this was a real 'wow factor' and really showed off the islands and surroundings. We didn't want to just give a 'free bar' we wanted our guests to experience the beauty of the Italian Lakes and to feel special, a celebrity for a day, a few of our guests said they felt they were at a 'Hello' magazine wedding, which was a huge compliment to everyone who contributed to the day.
However, none of this could have happened without you and Ernesto to guide us every step of the way and to be there every minute on the day to ensure everything ran smoothly.  We felt you were part of the day, I'm glad our friends made you so welcome.  We both feel we've made two lovely Italian friends! I can't wait to see the photo's!!
One of my favourite comments, which isn't written below was from my friend's dad, Tot, who said if we'd had a million pounds to spend we couldn't have improved our wedding day!
