THE VENUE

Nestled at the tip of the Sirmione peninsula, Villa Cortine Palace is a             

19th-century neoclassical villa set within five acres of cypress-lined gardens overlooking Lake Garda. With its grand colonnades, panoramic lake views, and historic elegance, it offers a uniquely romantic backdrop for the celebrations.

The property blends old-world Italian charm with serene natural beauty.

All wedding events will take place across the grounds of the villa, with settings ranging from the lakeside pier and the garden terrace to the ballroom.

Love, Laughter, Lake Garda

Join us for a three-day celebration on the banks of Lake Garda, from 11–13 September 2026. We’ll begin with a warm welcome dinner & dance by the lake, followed by a day of ceremony, aperitivo, and dancing through the night at Villa Cortine.

The weekend concludes with a relaxed Sunday breakfast by the pool, giving us time to unwind and enjoy the last moments together.
