Lake wedding: the ideal setting for those who decide to get married in summer
Getting married in summer is still the favoured choice of many couples. To give the event a touch of originality, a unique setting is needed that can enhance the charm of the summer season and limit the inconveniences related to the heat. The Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi, complicit with the lush nature, offers the ideal setting for those who wish to combine the natural chic theme with the poetic atmosphere of a lakeside wedding.
The panoramic view of Lake Bracciano from the very first glance conjures up the leitmotif of water, which continues in the two fountains and the stream that runs through the Vigna Grande Estate. Enchanting glimpses that provide cool corners and cues for glamorous, contemporary, country chic, shabby chic or boho chic themed arrangements.
The outdoor reception
Between June and September, the Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi is cloaked in a special light. The bright green of the vegetation is contrasted with the intense gold of the wheat field, which creates a pleasant harmony of contrasts with the turquoise sky and the sparkling waters of the lake. An ideal set to stimulate the creativity of our photographers and videomakers, who can use the natural setting to make images of rare beauty.
The temperate climate of the mild summer evenings allows the entire event to be held outdoors, without suffering the inconveniences associated with the scorching heat. The English gardens surrounding the historic mansion lend themselves to hosting both the ceremony and the outdoor reception, with the possibility of creating multi-sensory pathways and thematic corners in which to contextualise the aperitif, confetti, cake cutting and dessert buffet. For those who love romantic settings, an atmospheric dinner can be set up under century-old maple trees, with long imperial tables or elegant circular tables lit by candles and cascades of light. The menus, created by the best catering companies in Lazio, can include seasonal dishes made with farm-to-table products, dishes based on fresh catch, vegetarian and vegan proposals, so guests can enjoy all the freshness of summer flavours.
Lake wedding at Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi: a mix of style and comfort
Choosing Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi allows couples to organise an event with attention to every detail, guaranteeing full comfort even on the hottest days of the year. The versatility of the spaces allows the entire reception to be set up outdoors, to fully experience the magical atmosphere of a lakeside wedding. In case of rain, the event can be easily moved to the halls of the historic mansion, surrounded by large windows from which all the beauty of nature shines through.
The location, granted on an exclusive basis on both weekdays and weekends, offers the opportunity to celebrate the authentic civil ceremony directly on site or to hold the religious ceremony in one of the beautiful churches in the area, including the 16th-century Santa Maria del Riposo, which, thanks to the well-established collaboration with the Forum Clodii cultural association, can be booked directly from the facility. This represents an added value for couples and guests, who can avoid long drives, which are particularly tiring on hot days. Guests who wish to treat themselves to a small vacation, taking advantage of the wedding close to the weekend or a few days off, can stay in one of the comfortable hotels and bed & breakfasts in the area. The village of Bracciano, a jewel of mediaeval architecture, is dominated by the Orsini-Odescalchi castle, among the most highly regarded Renaissance residences in Europe. The lakefront offers trendy clubs, equipped beaches and bathing facilities among the most beautiful in Lazio. The area is, moreover, the ideal base for visiting nearby Rome, the ancient Etruscan cities of Cerveteri, Veio and Tarquinia, the splendid villages of Tuscia and the Sacred Wood of Bomarzo, with the famous Monster Park commissioned in the 16th century by the Orsini family.
