Planning a wedding in another country can feel overwhelming, but working with Zaira and the team (Special shout out for Beatrice!!!!) at I Do in Lake Como turned what could have been a stressful experience into the most joyful, seamless journey we could have asked for. From the very beginning, Zaira made us feel completely at ease. Her calm, confident approach and deep knowledge of the Lake Como area immediately reassured us that we were in the best hands. She guided us through every step — from understanding local logistics and paperwork to recommending the most incredible vendors — all while making sure our vision stayed at the center of everything. Our wedding day was truly a dream. Every single detail was thoughtful, elegant, and executed flawlessly. Zaira and her team created a celebration that was not only beautiful, but also deeply personal — something we and our guests will never forget. So many of our friends and family commented that it was the most stunning wedding they had ever attended. What truly set Zaira apart was how comfortable and supported she made us feel throughout the process. Planning a destination wedding could have been stressful, but instead, we were able to actually enjoy it — and on the day itself, we were able to be completely present, knowing everything was taken care of behind the scenes. She and Beatrice even came to our rehearsal dinner and helped coordinate a multiple course dinner with the restaurant for our guests! Truly went above and beyond. If you're dreaming of a Lake Como wedding, look no further. Zaira and I Do in Lake Como are simply the best.

Ilaria and her team were fantastic right from the first time we met all throughout the process, they made the actual wedding day better than we (and the guests) could over ever imagined. Her inside knowledge of the area/venues /suppliers was invaluable. Highly recommend. Ilaria ensured that the whole time it was a stress-free and easy experience to plan. Thank you so so much. Mr & Mrs Townsend!

Zaira and Beatrice took away all the stress of planning a wedding overseas, especially when you are unable to visit prior to the wedding. When they say they specialize in Lake Como they truly mean it as they live there and know every vendor and every venue including the people. So we were able to rely on them for everything. Our friends said it was the best wedding they ever attended. We would highly recommend I Do In Lake Como. We interviewed multiple planners and they are clearly the best. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Zaira planned our wedding at Villa Sola Cabiati, and it was an event fairytales are made of. Zaira and her team were extremely professional and were wonderful coordinators for our three day event. Zaira went above and beyond to ensure the weather wouldn’t impact our wedding and was able to move a few last minute things around to ensure the wedding would be perfect. We couldn’t have imagined a better celebration of our love.

Zaira and her team did an amazing job planning, organizing and following through on every detail of a 3 day wedding. Her guidance on every aspect from the welcoming event on the Concordia to the amazing wedding at Villa Lario Resort Mandello to the pizza/pool party was extremely helpful. She brought us fabulous vendors for the music, flowers and decor. Her kind and patient demeanor constantly calmed us. Most importantly she was always available answer any questions or concerns leading up to the wedding and was there every minute during the 3 days making sure no detail was overlooked. I could not recommend Zaira and her team more! Makes me want to do it again!

Simply the best I contacted Zaira and Beatrice to help me plan my proposal and I simply couldn’t have found anyone better. They were super responsive to every one of my messages and questions. They helped me plan it perfectly and were attentive to every little detail (from our pick up to the photographer and decoration, right up to our return). They really helped plan a magical and perfect night that will forever live in our memory. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Best Elopement Ever! We worked with I Do In Lake Como to plan our Elopement at Villa del Balbianello in Summer of 2023 and Ilaria was so amazing to work with! Being from the States, it was nerve-racking and intimidating to try and plan a wedding in another country where you don't speak the language, even just an elopement. I didn't even know where to start. Ilaria gave us all of the information and was in constant communication by letting us know what is next, what to expect, explaining contracts, how to take care of payments, etc. We worked with her over the course of a year and a half and I felt like we made a friend along the way. She was hospitable, professional, knowledgeable, communicative, and overall extremely sweet! I can't recommend I Do in Lake Como enough!

We had a great experience with Zaira and her team. Planning a wedding in Italy from the US really wasn't stressful at all because they helped us secure and manage all of our local vendors (who were all beyond amazing!). She also suggested our Welcome Dinner venue (Grand Hotel Tremezzo) which was magical. She took my vision for all of the events and executed it perfectly. When we arrived and saw our vision come to life we were blown away. It was honestly better than we had imagined! All of of our guests were super impressed with all aspects of our wedding - from service to flow etc. Highly recommend working with I Do in Lake Como!
