This sangeet at Villa Geno, Lake Como, welcomed guests travelling from the United States, the UK, and India for an evening celebration by the water.
The event unfolded as a relaxed yet structured gathering, with guests and the couple arriving by boat across the lake.
Fusion Indian and Italian cuisine shaped the evening, balancing familiar flavors with a local approach. Music, lighting, and guest flow were planned to suit the setting, allowing the celebration to feel social, fluid, and unforced.
Villa Geno offered a rare balance of intimacy and openness. The waterfront setting allowed the evening to breathe, while carefully considered lighting brought depth and softness as darkness settled. The lake became part of the experience, framing the celebration without distraction.
Rather than treating the Sangeet as a single highlight, the evening unfolded as part of a layered Indian wedding in Lake Como. Each moment felt connected, unforced and grounded in its surroundings. Nothing felt rushed. Nothing felt excessive.
Guests gather around illuminated ceremonial pots during a sangeet celebration. Women dance together in front of a floral stage. Guests dance under evening lights as music fills the space. A dhol drummer performs beside Lake Como during a wedding procession. Family members take part in an Indian wedding ritual while holding ceremonial trays.
This event reflects how Indian wedding celebrations can take on a different character when hosted within a European destination. When guided by proportion and restraint, music, movement and setting come together naturally. The result is an evening that feels immersive, memorable and entirely at ease with its location
The villa offered an intimate lakeside backdrop for a pre-wedding event that combined cultural tradition with a European sense of ease.
