Destination wedding that went perfect

We looked at many places for our September wedding, but La madonnina stood out. The location, the experience with weddings and the personal attention. After deciding upon the location, we had a great experience with Gaia, who helped us arrange the wedding. We made use of their wedding club and managed to find quality and experienced suppliers for flowers, photography and music. As a foreign couple, we always felt in control and could rely on the experience of La madonnina and Gaia.

Our wedding day was excellent; the view was stunning, the staff was attentive, the food was excellent, and the day went perfectly. Both the venue and staff exceeded our expectations!

The most amazing wedding day at a perfect venue

We loved every moment of our wedding.
Gaia was an excellent coordinator and made the process really easy.
We're from the UK and have never visited the venue before, but Gaia helped to put our minds at ease and talked us through everything every step of the way.
Even though the weather decided to rain all day, we were given alternatives as to where to have the ceremony and reception, which was great.
The food was amazing, and there was a lot of it! Perhaps too much food, as we were all struggling to eat everything, but didn't want it to go to waste.
Accommodation on site was lovely, would have been nice to have wifi in the rooms though.
All in all, it was amazing, and everything we wanted, and we'll never forget how wonderful a day it was, and how grateful we are to Gaia for being an excellent coordinator.

Amazing experience

When people say that their wedding was the best day of their lives they really mean it. It was amazing to have all our friends and family reunited in one place. And La Madonnina is close to where I grew up, so it was even extra special!

The venue was amazing. Everyone loved it! The food was fantastic, the chef did a great job. Everyone worked tirelessly to make our day perfect.
The atmosphere was great too, I really loved everything about it. The wedding planner Gaia did a great job at organising everything in every detail as well.
Everything went to plan. Plus, how can you not like the amazing view...
I would totally recommend!

Breathtaking venue for our special day 🤍

We knew as soon as we visited La Madonnina that it was the place we wanted to get married in. (It will take your breath away, trust me.) The views, the food, the staff, everything just felt so right. And I’m so so glad we did!!

We had the most magical day - it was a literal dream.

Our guests even now, 6 weeks on, keep telling us that it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to! It’s honestly been overwhelming. Memories to last a time.

A big big thank you to Gaia and the team at La Madonnina for your endless help & support. You guys went above & beyond & we are so grateful for everything you did to make our special day perfect.

If you’re thinking about having a wedding in Lake Como, this is the place to go!

We can’t wait to come back and relive the best day of our lives. ❤️

Thank you,
Alexia & Tom x

Affordable luxury at Lake Como

As a British couple wanting to get married abroad, we searched Hitched and found La Madonnina.
It was the first venue we saw, and even though we spoke with lots of others, none came close to the level of service, experience or, more importantly, the view!
People assume Lake Como is incredibly expensive and exclusive but La Madonnina made it possible for us to have the dream Italian wedding we wanted on a regular person's budget!
The guests have not stopped talking about it since the wedding. The food, service, the view and the setting all blew them away.
Gaia was the best wedding planner we could've asked for. Incredibly helpful, organised and so lovely to deal with from day 1.
We had the best day getting married at La Madonnina and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Best day of our lives!

Honestly we cannot describe where to start with our special day at La Madonnina. The whole venue, food, staff and hospitality was incredible.

Everyone was so accommodating and everyone felt so emotional with how everything was planned.

A special thanks has to go to Gaia, our wedding planner. She was absolutely amazing and made the day so special. Another thanks has to go to Serena, our wonderful celebrant. The harpist, Ambra, also did an amazing job for our ceremony and reception!

Lastly all the wonderful staff who catered for us and made the food so memorable!

Thank you so much

Ryan & Lauren ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing wedding for an international couple!

We fell in love with La Madonnina di Barbi! The grounds are gorgeous. We even saw a herd of wild horses nearby during one of our visits! My husband is a foodie and we were both AMAZING at the delicious food the chefs were able to provide. The star of the operation is Gaia - our wedding planner. She is a gifted professional and she guided us every step of the way.

Our daughters wedding event

I had the pleasure of having an event at La Madonnina di Barni the day after my daughter's wedding, and it couldn't have gone better. The restaurant's setting overlooking Lake Como is absolutely stunning, our guests were memorised and couldn't stop taking photos and videos. The view alone is enough reason to visit!

The staff at La Madonnina di Barni were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every aspect of our event ran smoothly. Their professionalism and willingness to accommodate our needs made the day stress-free for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the occasion.

The food was amazing, the antipasti was incredible, and there was plenty of it. Our guests were all able to have their fill (there was around 100 of us) The first and second courses were a big hit with our guests ,some of which having additional plates! Everyone had plenty to eat and drink and the food combined with the breathtaking view lead to a very memorable and enjoyable day.

In summary, La Madonnina di Barni provided the perfect backdrop for our post-wedding event with its breathtaking views of Lake Como, attentive service, and delicious cuisine. It's an excellent choice for any special occasion or simply a delightful meal while enjoying one of the most beautiful views in the region. We want to thank them, especially our liaison Gaia who was nothing short of excellent for making our event special.
