Undoubtedly, Lake Garda is one of Italy’s treasures and the ideal location for a wedding in the Italian Lakes.

Malcesine’s Scaligero Castle
A civil wedding in Lake Garda can be performed in the delightful town of Malcesine in a genuine castle with turrets and one of a kind views. This is a fairytale location. The atmosphere is medieval and mystical; quite romantic and the white stoned fortress houses colourful flowering gardens. There is even the possibility of holding a marriage ceremony outside at the top of the castle, weather permitting, or in several of the elegant interior halls (holding a maximum of 60). This is one of our favorite civil lake wedding locations. Nearby are some outstanding restaurants and elegant lake view hotels for a sumptuous wedding feast. 

Malcesine’s Captain’s Palace
Malcesine’s Captain’s Palace with its elaborate interior frescoes and grand hall is a magnificent Lake Garda civil ceremony venue available for non-residents. The interior walls are decorated with incredible frescoes and the panoramic views from the palace windows incomparable. 

Regarding civil weddings in Malcesine
