Italian is the language of love and Italy a country that has inspired lovers, artists and poets since classical times. For a magical blend of romance, style and sophistication, Milan is the perfect destination for a memorable wedding ceremony and honeymoon. The city itself often surprises the visitor with its architectural splendour, parks, art and history - full of hidden gems, Milan has it all. However, whether it is Milan or the surrounding Lombardy countryside you choose to go to, you will be rewarded with an experience to be remembered forever.
Of course, Milan is renowned as an international capital of fashion so your wedding here will be a charming and stylish affair. The Lombardy countryside offers many alternatives, including palatial villas, country hotels and small traditional Italian villages all offering a unique service and backdrop to the big day. For example, the south shore of the stunning Lake Como is only 25 miles north of the city.
It’s also possible to hire local wedding planners and services to take care of your every desire, from catering and flowers to photography and entertainment, all designed to make your big day in Milan personal and unique. They will also ensure all legal requirements are met and smooth out any language barrier issues there may be. No matter the size of your budget, it is possible to have a wonderful and romantic celebration in beautiful surroundings.
A great wedding hotel in Milan is the Country Hotel Borromeo which offers a large garden area and an award winning restaurant with catering for up to 200 people - see the website for more information Country Hotel Borromeo.
