Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como Wedding Videographer

Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como sits at Blevio on the eastern shore of Lake Como, a short boat transfer from Como city and within sight of Cernobbio across the lake. The property opened as a Mandarin Oriental in 2019 after extensive restoration of the historic Villa Roccabruna and adjacent estates. For couples planning a luxury destination wedding with the consistent service standards of an international hotel brand, Mandarin Oriental offers a distinctive option on Lake Como.

Firm Films films at Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como as part of our Lake Como portfolio. This guide reflects our experience at this newer luxury property.

The Mandarin Oriental property spans seven hectares with three lakefront villas, gardens, private docks, multiple dining venues, a spa, and an infinity pool overlooking the lake. The eastern shore location is less crowded than the western shore venues, which gives the wedding a more secluded character.

The property's restored historic villas combine period architecture with contemporary luxury interiors. Guest suites and wedding spaces alike maintain the Mandarin Oriental design language while preserving the Lake Como character of the original buildings.

Filming at Mandarin Oriental benefits from the multiple lakefront vantage points. The infinity pool terrace provides one of the most cinematic exterior portrait locations on Lake Como, with the pool, the lake, and the western shore villages stretching beyond.

Ceremonies can be held in the gardens, on lakefront terraces, or in the private chapel restored as part of the property. The dinner reception uses the various dining venues, with the main ballroom accommodating larger weddings.

The eastern shore orientation means the strongest light arrives in the morning across the lake from the west, with golden hour transitioning across the property toward sunset. This gives the wedding film distinct light qualities from morning preparation through evening reception.

Mandarin Oriental maintains specific service standards that affect how vendors work on the property. The wedding office liaises with photography and videography teams to coordinate access, timing, and any specific requirements. Vendors are typically expected to dress to a defined standard and to coordinate equipment placement with the hotel staff.

The property's preferred supplier list includes vetted photographers, videographers, florists, and planners. Couples can choose external suppliers, but advance coordination with the wedding office is essential.

Can we hold the entire wedding at Mandarin Oriental?

Yes. The property accommodates every part of the day.

Is the eastern shore location a drawback?

No. The eastern shore is quieter and the boat transfers are short. Guest arrivals from Como or Milan are straightforward.

How does Mandarin Oriental compare to Grand Hotel Tremezzo?

Grand Hotel Tremezzo has more belle epoque character and a longer history. Mandarin Oriental is newer and more contemporary in its luxury aesthetic.

How early should we book?

14 to 18 months for peak season dates.
