Live Violin Music on the Shores of Lake Como
Few places on earth are as breathtaking as Lake Como for a wedding. The shimmering water, the dramatic mountains, the Belle Époque villas draped in wisteria — it is a setting that deserves music of equal beauty. As a professional wedding violinist with years of experience performing at Lake Como's most prestigious venues, I know this place intimately, and I know exactly how to honour it through music.
My name is Margherita Valente. I am an Italian violinist based in Turin, a short distance from Lake Como, and I have performed live at some of the lake's most iconic venues, including Hotel Passalacqua, Castello di Vezio, Villa Noseda and Villa Monastero. Each one is extraordinary in its own way, and each one calls for a different musical approach. I know these spaces, their acoustics, their atmospheres, and the kind of moments they create for couples and their guests.
The Most Beautiful Venues on Lake Como
Lake Como is home to some of Italy's most exclusive wedding venues, and I have had the honour of performing at many of them.
Hotel Passalacqua, recently named the best hotel in the world, offers an atmosphere of unmatched refinement. Performing here requires absolute precision and elegance — music that matches the extraordinary setting without overpowering it.
Castello di Vezio perches dramatically above the lake, offering sweeping views and a fairy-tale atmosphere. Here, the violin resonates against stone walls and open terraces in a way that feels almost magical.
Villa Monastero, with its famous botanical garden stretching along the lakeshore, provides an outdoor setting of rare beauty — perfect for a ceremony accompanied by the sound of live violin carried on the breeze off the water.
Practical Information for Lake Como Weddings
I am based in Turin, approximately one hour from Lake Como, and I am deeply familiar with the logistics of performing at destination weddings in the area. I work in close collaboration with local wedding planners, and I am fluent in English — making the planning process smooth and stress-free for international couples.
Lake Como weddings tend to book far in advance. Availability for summer 2026 is extremely limited — please reach out as early as possible to check your date.
