Groom Brad Parker, renowned restaurateur and owner of Parker Hospitality Group, married bride Kinga Kubiak alongside the shores of picturesque Lake Como, Italy.
The weekend’s festivities kicked off with a welcome event at Villa Genoa where guests indulged in a delectable Italian delicatessen menu, accompanied by live music.
The wedding ceremony and reception were held at Villa Balbiano.
Kinga wore a wedding gown by Ines Di Santo. After the lakefront ceremony, guests reveled in cocktails amidst the villa’s gardens, while the newlyweds embarked on a romantic boat ride around Lake Como.
Guest favors were a scented stroke of brilliance – everyone received a bottle of Tom Ford Cologne. (The thoughtful gesture was to engage the strongest sense, the sense of smell. The idea was for people to wear the scent and be transported back to the magical experience in Como every time they caught a whiff of the scent.) The celebration continued into the early morning hours as the villa transformed into a pulsating club adorned with mesmerizing lights and DJ-spun music.
The night reached its pinnacle with the cake cutting and a champagne tower overlooking the shimmering lake as fireworks erupted overhead.
