Realistic Budget Ranges

The cost of a wedding on Lake Como can vary widely depending on the number of guests, personalization of the event and the venue. Smaller and more intimate weddings may start around €60,000–€80,000, while medium-sized weddings with around 80–120 guests typically range between €120,000–€200,000.

Weddings with elaborate design, premium services, a lot of custom items and multi-day events can exceed €200,000–€400.000

Factors That Influence the Cost

Several factors affect the overall wedding budget. The venue is usually one of the largest expenses, especially for historic villas on the lake. The number of guests also plays a major role, as catering and hospitality costs increase with guest count.

Other important factors include event design and décor, floral arrangements, entertainment, photography and videography, and guest logistics such as transportation and accommodation. The level of customization and the duration of the celebration can also significantly influence the final cost.

“Benevent truly made our wedding beautiful and more than what we could have expected! Elena, Martina, and their team made our dreams come true! Every detail of the wedding day was magical for us and our 100 guests. From start to finish we could not have asked for more dedicated visionaries working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design were beyond expectations. They were able to have suggestions for each of our requests (around entertainment, food, fireworks, other activities, etc). We thought it’d be really stressful to plan an abroad wedding, but they were able to handle all of the details and the event turned out amazing. Not to mention how fun it was working with Elena and Martina. Benevent has a true gift for a spectacular event for everyone to remember.

Thank you so much Elena and Martina! We could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding weekend!”

“If you want wedding planners that aren’t just organizers but creatives that have a unique artistic touch, Benevent is perfect for you. Not only were they able to give my husband and I what we wanted, but they surprised us with ideas that weren’t always obvious. Also, their vendor relationships are top tier. Our wedding was such a reflection of my husband and me, and that’s all we could’ve asked for. Elena and Martina are queens in their field, and we were able to establish trust in each other to create our dream wedding. We love Benevent! Grazie mille di tutto!!!”

“Benevent helped plan our wedding on Lake Como in 2024 and I highly recommend them. They are very well-organized and professional. They have guided us through the wedding planning process step by step and kept track of all the decisions and payments. They also provided us with renders of everything from the flowers to the table settings helping us visualize how things would look on the big day. Martina and Elena truly thought of every detail, from guest gifts to transportation to the venues. During the wedding weekend itself they supervised everything, ensuring it went smoothly so that we could just have fun and enjoy time with our guests. All the vendors that they recommended have also delivered services of the highest standard. Finally, what sets the Benevent team apart is their creativity and how they ensure that all their events are unique. The designs that they came up with were truly exceptional and all our guests have agreed that they have never attended such a beautiful wedding”

“The Benevent team was fantastic and created our dream wedding for us. It makes you want to get married multiple times just to have them organize it!
They were absolutely phenomenal: they have an eye for detail, impeccable taste, are extremely professional, and made everything seem so easy!
We organized a wedding abroad and everything went according to plan.
We couldn’t have wished for a better wedding! We continue to receive fantastic feedback and feel that our wedding was the event of the year 😀 They are now in our hearts and will always be part of our happiness!”

“We were proud to be the first Benevent wedding at a particular venue in Tuscany and they did an incredible job. We held three events throughout the weekend and the execution of those events was absolutely flawless and professional thanks to Elena, Martina, and their team. We will not get married again but we will continue to find other ways to throw events throughout our lives that involve Benevent :)”

F.A.Q.

How far in advance should we plan our wedding?

If you have a fixed date and you are not flexible we generally recommend starting the planning process 12 months in advance. Popular locations in Tuscany, Amalfi Coast and Lake Como often book out over a year ahead, especially for weekends in peak season (May through September). However, if you have a shorter timeline and you are more flexible our extensive network allows us to curate extraordinary celebrations in a more condensed timeframe as well so we recommend around 3-6 months in advance.

What budget is required for a luxury wedding?

A luxury wedding in Italy is a completely bespoke experience and the investment varies based on the guest count, the exclusivity of the venue and the complexity of the design. Generally, for a high-end multi-day event that includes venue, catering, floral design, top-tier entertainment, a lot of customization, we suggest a starting budget of €1,000- €1,500 per guest.
