How to Optimize Wedding Expenses: Ideas, Methods, and Tips from Desio

A wedding inevitably involves expenses, but they can be optimized.
Planning a wedding is undoubtedly a unique and unforgettable experience for every couple. However, in the initial stages of wedding preparation, the bride and groom may not be aware of the specific expenses they will incur. To turn dreams into reality, it is important to have an objective understanding of the costs involved. One of the key aspects of organizing a wedding is the budget. Your task is to determine the amount you can afford. Our task is to help you properly allocate and optimize this budget.
By following the recommendations of our Agency, you will be able to significantly reduce costs without sacrificing the quality and style of the event.
Rental prices for villas on Lake Como are generally fixed and do not vary by season. However, there are several ways to save on other aspects. Let’s consider them using Villa d’Este as an example. This magnificent complex combines luxury and elegance, offering the perfect venue for unforgettable events. For more details on this famous villa and event possibilities, see the "Venues" section.
1. Hall Rental Costs
The cost of renting halls at Villa d’Este is quite reasonable: from €6,000 for 60-80 people to €20,000 for 200 people. This allows for flexible budgeting depending on the scale of the event.

2. Event Scale
A grand and large wedding implies high costs for venue rental, banquet, and accommodation. A more intimate event requires less expense, allowing more focus on details that are most important to the couple.

3. Natural Décor
The luxurious Renaissance interiors of Villa d’Este, adorned with antique furniture, Canova sculptures, and old master paintings, alongside its magnificent gardens with colorful flowers, centuries-old statues, and a nymphaeum with polychrome mosaics, create a beautiful backdrop for the event, significantly reducing decoration and design costs.
4. Local Suppliers
Using a reliable and professional base of local suppliers, personally selected with great care, helps avoid additional logistics costs, ensures lower prices, and guarantees high-quality services.

5. Accommodation Options
Room booking costs at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este vary: a double room in July starts from €1,400, and in November from €900; a suite in July starts from €2,600, and in November from €1,400. This allows for choosing the optimal period for accommodation.

6. Restaurants and Menus
The villa features three restaurants offering a wide selection of exquisite Italian cuisine and a variety of wines to suit any taste and budget. The cost of a wedding menu starts from €300 per person.
7. Wedding Agency
Choosing an experienced wedding agency abroad is a wise decision. Expenses for organizer services are a saving, not a waste. An agency, through experience, proper planning, right connections, and teamwork, can guarantee the best result with minimal personal effort.

8. Early Booking
Choosing and booking a venue should start well in advance, preferably 12–18 months ahead. The main advantage of early booking is the opportunity to choose the best contractors and get favorable prices for their services. Venue availability is also crucial. Lake Como is one of the most exclusive and sought-after wedding locations. Early booking ensures you get the venue you’ve dreamed of.
