A private, discreetly coordinated proposal in Lake Como, designed around your story.
You’ve chosen the place. Now the moment has to be just right: the timing, the setting, the light, and the certainty that your partner suspects nothing.
We’ve been planning events in Italy for over 20 years, and Lake Como is where we’ve spent most of them. We know which villas open their gardens for private moments, which corners stay quiet even in August, and exactly when the light turns golden over the water. Our team plans and coordinates every proposal personally, working with trusted local photographers, florists and boat captains, so you can focus on one thing only: the question.
Starting from €3,000
What’s included:
Optional upgrades: private boat, live music, hair & make-up, private transfers, dinner reservations, additional styling.

Every proposal is tailored, but these are the settings couples love most, and the ones we know inside out.
Villa del Balbianello
Our founder Monica organised her first wedding at Villa del Balbianello in 2006, and we still plan ceremonies there regularly. The villa has a special terrace reserved for proposals, with one of the most breathtaking views on the lake: the perfect stage for the question.
A Private Boat on the Lake
For a proposal on the water, we work with the finest boat suppliers on Lake Como and help you choose an elegant boat that is perfect for photography. Your boat can depart from different points around the lake, including Como, Bellagio and Tremezzo.
Villa Monastero and Villa Melzi
In Varenna and Bellagio, the gardens of Villa Monastero and Villa Melzi offer unforgettable backdrops, with flowers, historic architecture and the lake all around you.
A Private Lake-View Suite
For complete privacy, we can arrange a proposal in one of the most beautiful suites in Lake Como’s finest hotels, with the lake at your feet and no one else around.
The “Secret Photo Shoot”
Your partner thinks it’s a couple photo session. Halfway through, you get down on one knee. Perfect if they would guess anything more elaborate.
When to Propose
A Lake Como proposal can happen at any time of year. Spring to autumn offers the mildest weather and the widest choice of boats, while winter brings a quieter, more intimate lake. We’ll help you choose the date and time that suit your plans.

Lake Como is our home, but we plan proposals throughout Italy: the rooftops of Rome and Florence, the canals of Venice, the Tuscan countryside, and the Amalfi Coast. Wherever you imagine the moment, you get the same discreet planning and trusted local partners.

How much does a Lake Como proposal cost?
Our Signature Lake Como Proposal Experience starts from €3,000. The final price depends on the location, the time of year and any upgrades, such as a private boat or live music.
Can everything stay a secret from my partner?
Yes. We communicate only with you, and our photographer and team stay out of sight until the moment arrives.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally 1–3 months ahead, especially from May to September. Last-minute proposals are sometimes possible, so just ask.
Can I propose at Villa del Balbianello?
Yes. Villa del Balbianello has a dedicated terrace that can be reserved for proposals, with stunning views over the lake. Availability is limited, so we recommend booking early.
Do you plan proposals outside Lake Como?
Yes, across Italy, including Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast.
