About us
BELLAGIO WEDDING CO.
Lake Como
We’re Jay and Franco, the team behind Bellagio Wedding Co, and together we help couples from all over the world experience the magic of a destination wedding on Lake Como.
We are Jay & Franco – Your Lake Como Wedding Planners
I’m Jay, originally from England and proudly living on Lake Como for 16 years. My international background makes communication with couples smooth, natural and effortless.
Franco is Italian, with a background in five-star hotels and high-end catering. He ensures seamless supplier management, oversees every setup and handles any local bureaucracy efficiently and professionally.
Together, we blend international understanding with true local expertise. We know the venues, the owners and the suppliers personally — and this makes every decision easier, every process faster and every wedding more refined.
Our Philosophy
We believe planning a wedding should feel exciting, calm and deeply personal. Our approach is built on transparency, honesty and genuine care. We don’t push unnecessary services or inflate supplier prices — instead, we offer real quotes, sincere advice and full support throughout the entire journey.
Above all, we want couples to feel comfortable with us, to trust our guidance and to enjoy every moment of creating their Lake Como wedding.
