Lake Orta (Lago d'Orta) may be Italy's smallest of the great northern lakes, but it punches well above its weight when it comes to wedding music.
We've handled hundreds of enquiries for the lake since 2015, with couples choosing it for its intimate, car-free village of Orta San Giulio, the fairy-tale island of San Giulio and luxury venues like Hotel San Rocco, our most-requested venue on the lake, and Palazzo Gemelli.

Lake Orta weddings tend to lean towards:
Typical budgets range from €500 to €2,000, though we've handled enquiries up to €10,000 for full showband productions.
Lake Orta sits just 30 minutes from Lake Maggiore with venues like Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées, Villa Rusconi-Clerici and Isola Bella. Many of the same bands cover both lakes, so if you're considering a day trip or multi-venue celebration across the Piedmont lakes, our musicians know the area well.
Lake Orta couples tend to plan full-day celebrations at a single venue: ceremony in the gardens, aperitivo on the terrace overlooking the lake, dinner al fresco, and a party set that runs through to midnight.
Most bands arriving from Milan or Tuscany (roughly a 90-minute drive from Malpensa airport) include travel and overnight accommodation in their quotes, and handle all sound, lighting and equipment themselves. Power is typically available at venues, but bands arrive self-sufficient.
Several of our Italian acts know the lake well; Slipstream, one of our most-reviewed party bands, describes Lago d'Orta as 'a second home'. Electronic drums are a common choice here: the venues are intimate, the setting is quiet, and bands adapt their setup to match the atmosphere rather than overpower it.
All of our Italian bands have promo videos as well as videos of live events so that you can get an exact idea for how they will perform at your wedding.
Our bands work hard to release regular video updates that are uploaded to their profiles.

They were amazing and had the party going from the first song!
Hi Joe, Please do pass on my thanks to the band last night. They were amazing and had the party going from the first song! Thanks for all of your help in arranging. I’ll definitely be recommending them and will have them in mind for any future events we do. Best regards, Lucy.
I just want to send you a quick email to express how happy and impressed we were with Fusion Girls
Good morning Ed, I just want to send you a quick email to express how happy and impressed we were with Fusion Girls. Omg they were amazing all my guests can not stop talking about them, nothing was too much to ask for. I can’t fault them at all!!! We will 100% be booking them again in the future! Please pass on my message to them, I hope they enjoyed it too!! Thank you, Jess.
Wow, where do I start? Luna Showband and Night Magic took our breath away...
Wow, where do I start? Luna Showband and Night Magic took our breath away. The most compliments I ever had on the wedding were the band and the singers. People just stared, as they couldn’t believe it. My mother-in-law who is from Canada said, we just don’t get talent like this in Canada! She was so happy. It was just phenomenal. The kids from Arizona who are spoilt and have seen every kind of wedding said it was the best music they have ever seen. It was truly out of this world!! I can’t believe you mastered the bee gees voice and did Night Fever, it was amazing!! When you called us to the stage to stand up there with you, we felt like legends and part of the band!! I will never forget it!! So epic!! Every time I remember those times on the dance floor, we beam with happiness!
You really took it to the next level and it was better than we could have ever dreamt!
Hi James, We wanted to write to thank you SO much for making our wedding so amazing!! You really took it to the next level and it was better than we could have ever dreamt! I’m sorry we didn’t get much time to actually chat on the night. But I am quite sure you will be requested back in Malta soon, we have had SO many people asking for your details and saying how great you all were :) Hope you enjoyed your little stay in Malta too! Thank you again, Lisa & Jonas.
