Real Recommendations! Here’s what other couples have to say about Lake Garda Weddings. Clair & Kevin, Married May 2007 Gwen & Pam, what can we say but a huge thank you to you both for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Pam, thank you for putting our minds at rest from the moment we met you. We were very impressed by the total understanding you had of how we wanted our wedding day to be, everything was organised and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We both just relaxed and waited for the big day to arrive and what a day.... The day was perfect, just what we wanted, relaxed and informal with everyone enjoying themselves. Gwen, the photos are fantastic, they capture the story of the day as it unfolded perfectly, they are so natural and fun and so many to look at! All our guests fell in love with the area, a perfect setting for a wedding. The champagne reception and meal at La Pace was excellent, situated on the waters edge watching the sunset was again unforgettable; the wine was flowing (along with the tears) and the food fantastic. Sergio and the staff at La Pace were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us, we had a guest with an egg allergy and they made a special meal for her... not a problem, whatever we wanted they provided. We have had so many people ask us about the wedding and have told them to look at your website; we would have no problem recommending a wedding in Malcesine, your services and La Pace. It was simply the best! Joel & Sarah, Married September 2005 Our wedding day was the most wonderful day of our lives! We cannot think of a more fitting location than the beautiful Scaligeri Castle of Malcesine, with its idyllic views of Lake Garda and its stunning mountain backdrops. The day was enjoyed by family and friends all of whom, will never forget the goodwill and hospitality shown to us by the local people. We must pay tribute to Gwen for her excellent organisational skills and thoughtfulness throughout the day. Without her we would not have discovered the delightful ‘La Pace Restaurant’ for our reception dinner. The service was second to none and helped to do away with traditional formality! We would thoroughly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone looking for a truly unique wedding experience. Thank you Gwen for helping to make our day so special. Emma & Nick, Married July 2005 Lake Garda Weddings were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us on the day and on the run up to the day. 10/10! To view Emma & Nick's beautiful wedding click here.
