Diane and Dave on the pier in Malcesine

Congratulations to Diane and Dave who married in May 2019 in Malcesine Castle.

We hope you enjoy looking through some of the beautiful photos captured at the wedding of Diane and Dave, May 2019 in Malcesine Castle, The bride was with her Dad in the Hotel Excelsior for the first photo, then we had some photos in and around Malcesine,

After the wedding ceremony the couple toured Malcesine with the photographer to get some images taken. After the wedding they had a beautiful wedding reception at the La Voglia restaurant, in the Val di Sogno, just 3km from Malcesine. This photo was taken on the jetty by the La Voglia restaurant, such a wonderful reception venue.

Lake Garda is one of Italy’s largest lake and offers something for everyone, such as sailing, surfing, theme Parks, cable cars, boats and ferries, walking and is very popular for cycling and rock climbing. It is a great place to kick back and relax, or do the opposite and have an activity holiday.

Malcesine castle is a very popular venue for weddings from many country all over the world. Many British, Irish, Germans and Americans chose this as the venue of a lifetime. Italian's love it too and there are many Italian weddings here. The views from the castle are breathtaking and make a great backdrop for the wedding pictures. It is possible to have a champagne toast in the castle after the ceremony, or by the lakeside, the choice is yours. Nearby cities are Verona, Venice and Milan, which you can reach by public transport or car during your holiday.

Garda is known to be the birthplace of the violin so it could be a good instrument to choose for the wedding, which many of our brides have done, along with the piano or a string quartet.

Garda used to be called Benaco, in-fact there is still a town called Torri del Bench, which means Benacus towers. Riva del Garda, at the north, used to be part of Austria until 1918. Until few years ago you could still see the old customs barriers.
