Planning a destination wedding in Lake Como from the US sounded intimidating at first, but working with Beth turned it into the most seamless and joyful experience we could have imagined. She was truly a lifesaver throughout the entire process!

From our very first call, Beth made us feel completely taken care of and at ease. Her organization, communication, and deep knowledge of the Lake Como area were invaluable to us as outsiders to the area. She handled every detail - big and small - with grace and professionalism, and her vendor recommendations were absolutely perfect. We always felt like she understood our vision better than we did!

When we arrived in Italy, everything was already flawlessly arranged. Our wedding day ran so smoothly (thanks to Beth's coordination!) that all we had to do was enjoy every moment. The décor, timing, logistics, and atmosphere all came out exactly as we had visioned thanks to Beth's flawless execution. Our guests are still talking about how magical the day was, and we know it wouldn’t have been possible without her dedication and care.

If you’re planning a destination wedding (or any wedding!) in Italy, do yourself a favor and hire Beth! She made our dream wedding a reality, and we are forever grateful.

Our wedding simply would not have been what it was without the extraordinary help and attention from Beth. From finding our beautiful venue, navigating areas where we did and didn't want to splurge, to little touches that made our wedding special and unique, all credit truly goes to her.

Planning an international wedding can be stressful, but we genuinely looked forward to our calls with Beth not just because we were planning the most special day of our lives but because she was a delight to work with and always had solutions to problems as they arose.

When people say things always go wrong on your wedding day but no one else notices them, I don't feel like anything went wrong for our day and it was the most wonderful day of our lives. Beth also helped us plan an incredible night before - and during the trip, many of our friends and family said it was the best wedding they've ever attended.

She knows so many vendors and even times when I put forward a vendor who wasn't one she suggested she was able to give me guidance into why they weren't on her list of recommendations and carefully steered us in the right direction. She helped us find vendors to create unique experiences, especially in areas we told her were important such as having an amazing DJ.

We truly loved working with Beth and not just because she helped us plan the wedding of our dreams but she was such a kind and enjoyable planner to work with who has a great sense of humor and clearly is well respected in the region by all the vendors.

Beth and My Italian Lake Wedding is the reason our perfect Lake Garda wedding came to be! We’re so lucky and grateful she was our planner and she took care of us every step of the way, from a whole year out until our big day (and even after).

Beth made communicating and coordinating with her from across an ocean and multiple time zones away so easy and a complete non-issue, and the wonderful relationships she has with the many vendors and venues around Lake Garda is an invaluable bonus that made our planning even more seamless. She understood our vision for the ceremony and dinner and offered the best suggestions!

She’s a total sweetheart with the uplifting and calming demeanor I so needed to guide me through this whole process, set us up for success with every recommendation, and identifies all the details big and small that most would never think of. Thank you again for all you did for us and being so amazing, Beth!! We’ll never forget how magical our wedding turned out!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Beth for our destination wedding at Villa Aura Del Lago this July. We can’t recommend her highly enough, especially for anyone planning a wedding from abroad.

From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. Planning a wedding overseas can be daunting, but she guided us through every step with incredible professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. She has an amazing network of trusted suppliers and always presented us with excellent options, often tailored to different budget levels – which was such a huge help.

One of the most valuable things about working with her was the direct line of communication. We didn’t have to liaise with any of the vendors ourselves - she managed all of that seamlessly. Even with the vendors we had found before hiring her, she took over communications with ease and professionalism, relieving us of all the stress.

Throughout the entire process, she made us feel like our wedding was the only one she was working on – which we know wasn’t the case, but that’s a true testament to her dedication and care. She was always on top of everything, incredibly responsive over email, and no detail was ever missed.

On the day itself, we truly felt special. Everything ran smoothly, and it was all thanks to her hard work behind the scenes. She created an experience that was not only beautiful and personal but also stress-free - exactly what every couple dreams of. She was also very much on hand in the days leading up to the wedding and days after, helping with transport, general queries and just a reassuring presence.

Thank you so much for making our dream day a reality and an unforgettable experience. We honestly couldn’t have done it without you.

I would not have been able to plan my international dream wedding without the incredible Beth! She was such a delight, and made an already stressful wedding planning experience just that much easier. She was easy to reach, she was willing to go above and beyond to help my international guests and me, and she always had the desire to help solve problems. I obviously speak English, and it helped having someone who could understand me and communicate fluently with the local vendors. My wedding was everything I wanted and more, and making the decision to hire Beth was a huge reason that it turned out the way that it did. I would hire her again and again if given the chance!

Beth is the BEST wedding planner there is!
I truly don’t think our wedding day would’ve been as incredible as it was without her.
We live in Texas and she made having a destination wedding in Lake Como so easy & magical.
She knows all of the best vendors, helped me consider things that I would’ve never thought of, helped us stay in our budget, helped give recommendations & advice for some of my most random questions, understood my overall vision, responded so quickly even with the time zone difference…. I could go on and on.
For the day of, she made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible, remembered every little detail, and did all of the corresponding with our vendors. This all really helped us just be able to fully live in the moment.
She is also incredibly kind & calm - which for me was really important to keep good & calm energy for the day.
All of my guests were also obsessed with her and mentioned how helpful & “on-top-of-it” she was.

Again, I really could go on and on but booking Beth as our wedding planner was really was one of the best decisions we made.

I, as a videographer & photographer had the honor to be working with Beth at a more than stunning wedding at Lake Como.
Working as a creative under the wings of Beth is a blessing as she has everything in control, in terms of time management for the couple, making sure we do not lose track of the wedding party and everything. It was such a great event, and I can not wait to be working with her again. To all the couples looking for a wedding planner reading this, this should be your pick, you have come to the right place :)

all the best, from Austria, yours Thomas Schweighofer :)

Beth has been absolutely integral and essential in organising our wedding.

I reached out to Beth at the start of our journey to see if a wedding in Italy was possible, as we live in the UK, and after providing incredible detail at that point she has delivered on all aspects. Beth has been reliable, a great communicator and made this journey a pleasure. She goes above and beyond to make sure that the experience is smooth and enjoyable, and has great knowledge of the local areas and contacts.

We had adverse weather on our wedding day which scuppered some of our arrangements, and Beth made alternative plans promptly and smoothly, taking the stress out of an incredibly stressful situation.

On our wedding day again, Beth ensured the day ran to time, and dealt with any issues that arose allowing us to fully enjoy our special day.

I can’t recommend Beth highly enough, and we feel very lucky to have found her for our wedding.

Beth is awesome!
She is not just a regular Wedding Planner.. she's a friend.
She is structured till the last detail, always open for ideas, professional and human in every dimension and 24/7 available, no matter how many other weddings and couples are getting married with her, you have always the feeling that she only focusses on your wedding.

The biggest advantage is, that beth has so much experience and this helps so much in the planning of your dream wedding.
Even on the big day, she is without pause working for you and moving like a ghost in the background :)

My Wife and I can't thank her enough for this one in a lifetime experience, we can just recommend her to 100% :)

Beth was so wonderful to work with while planning our wedding. She always communicated quickly and effectively, which was one of my biggest concerns when looking to do a destination wedding in Italy. I was seriously impressed with her efficiency and organization from the very first email I received from her where she started giving me estimates for costs broken down into different categories. The vendors she suggested for flowers, hair/makeup, music, etc were all absolutely fantastic. We loved the venue she recommended as well. She was able to work around last minute changes with our guest list so efficiently that it just totally eased any anxiety we had about the event. I still can’t believe how smoothly this whole process was with her. We truly had the perfect wedding day thanks to Beth! I highly recommend her for wedding planning services!

My partner and I are from the UK and planned to get married in Lake Como. We knew nothing about planning weddings or getting married in Italy. Further more, we always thought these sort of destination weddings would be ludicrously expensive and beyond our means.

We decided to Google what to do and thankfully found Beth (My Italian Lake Wedding). This was the best thing that could've happened to us.

We were initially asked our budget and the amount of people coming. We were given great options for the ceremony venue and then hired photographers, musicians, food, an interpreter, make up artists, a florist, and boats on the lake; as well as the hotel where we stayed at. For every single option, we received clear communication as well numerous options - allowing us both peace of mind and the ability to choose what we wanted. Throughout it all, Beth replied quickly and clearly, and made it all completely easy for us.

People say that wedding planning is stressful and we worried that when we added wedding planning in another country to it, it would be manic. But Beth made the whole journey completely stress free.

I can't recommend her enough. If you want to get married in Lake Como, but you're intimidated about the price or logistics, then please use My Italian Lake Wedding as the whole journey will be easy.

Beth took every ounce of stress out of the entire process - from organising all the vendors, the venue and accommodation, to making sure everything ran seamlessly on the day. We wouldn't change a thing, the day itself was perfect and our guests were thoroughly impressed! We look forward to seeing the professional photos, everyone was very impressed with how well organized they were. Booking a wedding planner for a destination wedding was the most important first step, and we couldn't recommend My Italian Lake Wedding more!

Beth was amazing! So helpful, kind and capable. We are from California and had never been to Lake Como before but with Beth’s help we created a wonderful and magical wedding day on Lake Como.

Beth was kind and gracious and we always felt confident about the decisions we made as she worked with us throughout the year leading up to our ceremony. Her advice on everything was perfect and all of her recommended vendors were top notch.

Also, we loved having Beth on site the day of the wedding and many of our guests mentioned how personable and professional she was, as she expertly organized the flow of the day. I strongly encourage anyone planning an Italian Lake Wedding to reach out to Beth to help you plan your best day ever!

We had the most magical wedding! It was everything we dreamed of and more, and it was all made possible because of Beth! Planning a destination wedding from overseas can be difficult, but Beth made the entire process so seamless and smooth. From our initial meeting and in every correspondence, she was always so professional, timely and kind. Her attention to detail is outstanding and she really knows how to add personal touches to make a wedding extra special. We were so grateful to have her there on the day of the wedding. We could not speak more highly of Beth and would highly recommend her to anyone who would be interesting in planning their dream wedding in the Italian Lakes. Thank you so much Beth!!

Beth was our wedding planner for our wedding in Lake Como, and also helped out with some events in the days either side. Honestly we couldn't have asked for more, she was brilliant throughout. Beth is incredibly organised and thoughtful and is really on 'your side' through the whole process which is exactly what you need (and we know from others this is not always the case). We felt totally comfortable that everything was in hand knowing she was on our team and ensuring all the vendors and moving parts came together so our guests would have a great time. We are enormously grateful to Beth, if you are lucky enough to be looking at a wedding in the lakes then we couldn't imagine anyone better to help you.

Beth is the wedding planner for you, if you are choosing to get married at one of the Italian lakes!
Her correspondence, ability to help plan surprises and organisation is second to none.
We went to meet Beth and we both instantly took to her kind nature and personable skills, not forgetting her great sense of humour.
Nothing was too much trouble and she literally helped with everything!
On our wedding day she was with us every step of the way. Ensuring hair, make up, photographer, videographer were all where they should be including guests and us!
She checked in on us throughout the day making sure we had all we needed.
During ceremony and reception she kept timings well and calmly and efficiently got everyone where they needed to be for aperitivo, photos and food. Even when the storm hit the Villa everything was taken care of. Beth was there quietly in the background ensuring our day was a success, and it was. A huge success. We are forever grateful. We didn’t worry or have to think about a thing on the day and it was more than we had ever hoped for.

Where do we even start to cover how amazing Beth has been throughout the whole wedding planning process, and making the day run to perfection.

Beth went above and beyond and was always available to help and answer questions, as well as communicate with Italian vendors for us. Nothing was too much trouble and Beth made our dream become a reality.

We booked our wedding just before covid and it was a rollercoaster throughout the whole 18 months from booking to the wedding day. Beth was so supportive and made sure everything was sorted for us with short notice when we found out it could go ahead. Her experience and relationships with local vendors were invaluable and we genuinely could not have arranged anything as well as she did by ourselves.

Thank you a million times over simply would not be enough to express how grateful we are to have met Beth and used her 5* wedding planning services. We truly had the best day of our lives and it was just perfect. We would 100% recommend Beth to any couples getting married in the Italian lakes.

Our wedding in Lake Garda, Italy was a magical experience. From the first emails between Beth and myself to the final goodbyes, it was a stress-free, spectacular event. Beth's attention to detail and great relationships with vendors allowed me to be free from worry about planning a wedding from the U.S. All aspects of the wedding, including the church ceremony, reception and transportation logistics, seemed effortless due to Beth's meticulous planning. She was with us from start to finish on that wonderful day, making everything go as smoothly as possible. Working with Beth was so easy and fun; I felt like I had known her forever!

We had the wedding of our dreams in Lake Como, June this year & it was all down to Beth. From the first point of contact she was amazing, friendly & so organised.
When we flew over to meet her, we knew straight away she was the right planner for us, easy going, chilled & just a very lovely person.
Nothing was to much trouble when we wanted to alter something or add a few more bits, always getting the info we needed asap.
The day was exactly how we planned it in our head & more. It was just amazing, Beth was there for us every second of the day if we needed her. The guest loved the whole day and still talk about it 6 months later. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you Beth for making our dreams become a reality.
Love
