Malcesine is one of those places that hardly needs an introduction. A simple stroll along the lakefront and a glance at the Castle overlooking the town are enough to understand why, for years, so many couples have chosen to get married here. Located directly on Lake Garda, Malcesine offers a natural setting that combines history, scenery, and a relaxed atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities.

The Scaligero Castle is the main venue for civil weddings. Inside, there are several spaces, each with its own unique features.
The Casermetta is a cozy room with a lake view, ideal for intimate ceremonies, while the Sala Labia offers a more spacious and elegant setting.
For those dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, the Rivellino is one of the most enchanting spots: a terrace beneath the Castle tower with views that stretch from the lake to the mountains, and over the rooftops of the town.
Ceremonies can be personalized with music, readings, and floral decorations, arranged with the municipal staff. Symbolic ceremonies or vow renewals are also allowed, under the same organizational conditions.

As an alternative to the Castle, weddings can be celebrated at the Palazzo dei Capitani, a historic building overlooking the lake. The hall, located on the first floor, is bright and suitable for hosting a larger number of guests.

Organization and Services

Ceremonies are held at set times during the day, and multiple weddings are not scheduled simultaneously. This allows each couple to enjoy their special moment in peace.
Additional services are available, such as the presence of an interpreter or the possibility of using some areas of the Castle after the ceremony for a toast or a small buffet.

Documentation

Procedures and required documents vary depending on whether the couple are Italian citizens or foreign non-residents. The Civil Status Office of the Municipality of Malcesine provides clear guidance and supports couples through the necessary steps prior to the wedding date.
