20 | LUXlife Magazine “The greatest luxury on a wedding day is simply the freedom to be fully present.” The story of WeddingBox Lake Como began when destination wedding specialist Sally Sephora moved to Italy with her family in 2007. She first began offering her expertise as a solo service on the stunning shores of Lake Como, which quickly grew into a thriving business with a dedicated team as Sally shared her knowledge and passion for creating unforgettable weddings with the world. Now, WeddingBox Lake Como is on a mission to help couples from around the world experience a spectacular wedding in Italy, without the stress that often comes with planning from abroad. It operates with calm and professional organisation that allows its couples to sit back and enjoy their special day, knowing that the WeddingBox team are there in the background to make sure that everything runs seamlessly. This is made possible by the exceptional team driving WeddingBox Lake Como, who serve as the very heart of the business’ operations. The team is close-knit and supportive, possessing an energy that naturally carries through into each wedding it plans. Every member of the team loves the work they do and are invested in ensuring that each couple’s experience is exceptional, from start to finish. “Planning a destination wedding is quite a personal journey,” said Sally. “Couples are trusting us to build something very important, often from thousands of miles away, so building that relationship matters a lot. By the time the wedding day arrives, it often feels as though we have been part of their lives for quite some time. Many of them stay personal friends, and we get to hear about the next chapter in their lives.” After more than 16 years of working at Lake Como, the team has not only built lasting relationships with countless clients, but also with top-tier venues, suppliers, and vendors from around the lake and beyond. These invaluable connections allow the WeddingBox team to guide couples through each step of the process with complete confidence, in addition to ensuring that it remains a fountain of precious local knowledge. Helping Newlyweds Make Magical Moments on Lake Como Lake Como is widely known as one of the most beautiful places in the world, with historic villas, incredible lake views, and charming lakeside towns. The location has earned international recognition as a destination of choice for elegant wedding events, many of which are made possible by WeddingBox Lake Como, a leading luxury wedding planner. We spoke with Founder Sally Sephora to learn more, as WeddingBox Lake Como is named in the Leaders in Luxury Awards 2026. “From florists and photographers to musicians, caterers, and boat companies, the level of talent here is exceptional,” Sally told us. “When you combine these suppliers with the unique setting of Lake Como, the result naturally feels very special.” WeddingBox Lake Como keeps a close eye on the market and has recently noted clients shifting their focus to the guest experience. Many couples have friends and family travelling from all over the world to be with them on their special day, and they are very aware of the effort their guests have made to attend. Therefore, couples aspire to create something truly special for everyone who has come so far to celebrate with them. “Rather than thinking only about the wedding itself, couples are now often planning a whole series of moments around it,” Sally told us. “It becomes less about a single event and more about a shared experience across several days. This approach works beautifully on Lake Como, and it allows couples to spend more meaningful time with the people closest to them.” WeddingBox Lake Como is also undergoing significant changes itself; the business has embarked on a new journey in recent years, after realising that its extensive experience in destination wedding planning has developed systems, knowledge, and relationships that could help other planners establish successful businesses in some of Europe’s most sought-after destinations. As a result, WeddingBox has gradually expanded into other locations across Europe through carefully selected franchise partners. Each branch is operated by a local planner who understands their unique destination, whilst simultaneously benefitting from the same experience, support, and brand that has driven WeddingBox to be named Italy’s Best Luxury Wedding Planners 2026. “Lake Como will always remain very special to us, as it is where WeddingBox first began and where we continue to plan many beautiful weddings each year,” Sally concluded. “Looking ahead, our goal is to continue growing this network in key wedding destinations while maintaining the same personal and hands-on approach that has always been at the heart of the company.” Contact: Sally Sephora Company: WeddingBox Lake Como Web Address: www.weddingboxlakecomo.com
