As I thought about the Villa Alba more, I remembered that I had originally found that villa on the website of Alto Palato Catering. I went to their website last night and found the most spectacular villa!( Read more... )

With a boat to cross the lake??? You should definitely get that one. How cool would that be?

Wow - are you sure you can't get married in a VFW hall? ;)

All of those places you posted are amazing! I definitely like the Cavazza one above - it's very regal. Obviously all of them are very cool from an American perspective, IYKWIM...

We ran into trouble with caterers too - it seemed the nicest sites only had one [very expensive] caterer. I suppose they do that on purpose.

A question for you - do the site fees and caterer fees include the place settings and table settings too? If those are a la carte, they can be pretty $$$...

Yeah the catering fees here include all the rentals plus all wine & champagne and the wedding cake.

I had to ask my sister what VFW means :p.

Europe is a good compromise for both your families right? Actually we considered having the wedding in NY but it was way more expensive there. I'm guessing that the wedding here will be about half of what it would have cost in NY if not less.

So according to the Alto Palato website, the rent for the Isola Borghese Cavazza is EUR 3000. To be precise the .pdf file (see link) says:

Affitto location e tensostruttura €3.000,00 iva inclusa
which translates to:
Site fee and tent 3.000,00 VAT included

This is manageable.

Yesterday I wrote directly to the Cavazza family (as they manage their own island) and asked if Alto Palato had exclusive catering rights to the villa or if they allowed any catering company to work there. They said they do not give exclusive catering rights to anyone and attached a list of fees. This is what they said:

Quotazioni IVA inclusa
adulti €110 a persona/Bambini dai 5 ai 12 anni € 50

Modalita’ di Pagamento
Caparra € 2000 alla firma del contratto

Da conteggiare a parte
Servizio Catering
Trasporto materiale del catering , musicisti e quant’ altro.
Quanto non espressamente citato sopra.

which translates to:

Price List VAT includedadults €110 per person/Children from 5 to 12 years & ( ... )
