How Far in Advance Should You Plan a Wedding on Lake Maggiore or Lake Orta?

One of the first questions couples ask is: when should we start planning? On Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, timing really does make a difference.
Lake Orta & Maggiore weddings

18–24 Months Before the Wedding

​

This is ideal if you are:

​

  • Planning a summer wedding (June–September) and your preference is a weekend

  • Dreaming of a specific villa or lakefront resort

  • Organising a civil wedding

​

This timeframe gives you access to the best venues and suppliers.​​

​

12–15 Months Before the Wedding

​

Still a great option for:

 

  • Symbolic ceremonies

  • Mid-week weddings

  • Spring or early autumn dates


Some flexibility may be needed, but beautiful options are still available.​

​

6–9 Months Before the Wedding

​

Possible, but more limited:

 

  • Fewer venue choices

  • Less flexibility with suppliers

  • A simpler design approach
