A bride-to-be has shared the eye-watering cost of the Lake Como wedding venue she has booked for her upcoming nuptials.

Liz Inglisa, 25, took to TikTok to reveal how much she and fiance Kraeton Moll had splashed out for Villa Balbiano.

The couple, from Chicago, who have been together for seven years, are set to tie the knot in August 2024.

But other social media users did not hold back on slamming the extravagant spend as one branded it a ‘waste of money.’

Liz described Villa Balbiano as ‘the venue of their dreams’ but was inundated with questions about the cost

Liz has been sharing regular wedding planning updates with her 25,900 followers since the proposal on a private sunset cruise around the Amalfi coast.

And she recently divulged that she would be tying the knot at Lake Como’s Villa Balbiano – which has previously been used as a backdrop in blockbusters such as Casino Royale and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

She described it as ‘the venue of their dreams’ but was inundated with questions about the cost.

In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 1.6 million times, Liz replied to one user who posed the query, adding: ‘I have never been asked a question more in my life so let’s get into how much our Lake Como wedding and venue cost.’

Sharing a series of snaps of the breathtaking views and impressive architecture, Liz began: ‘Villa Balbiano is probably one of the most sought after wedding venues on the entire planet probably because of this view. 

‘It’s so gorgeous and I’ve probably wanted to get married here since I saw this picture about five or six years ago.’

She continued: ‘So the venue can either be rented for the entire weekend – Friday through Sunday, two nights, three days – for 100,000 euros (around $109,000).

‘Or you can rent it for one day but you can only rent it one day on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and the cost of that is 40,000 euros ($44,000).’

Justifying the spend, she continued: ‘Yes, it is just the venue but I mean look at how incredible the venue is. There are so many different areas here’

Liz went further still, adding: ‘Another question I keep getting is “what is included in the cost of the venue” and the answer is absolutely nothing. 

‘The 40,000 euros or the 100,000 euros is just the price of the venue and absolutely nothing else.’

Justifying the spend, she continued: ‘Yes, it is just the venue but I mean look at how incredible the venue is. There are so many different areas here. 

‘The possibilities for cocktail hour and for reception and for ceremony are endless. I could think of 10 places right now that you could do any of them.’

Liz then revealed: ‘Another question I keep getting asked is are you actually able to stay in the venue and the answer is yes, only if you book it for the entire weekend.’

But she considered: ‘I feel like you don’t even want your guests staying in here because a lot of the pieces in Villa Balbiano are like “sister pieces” or like one of five in the entire world so imagine breaking or scratching something and you have to pay all of your money to Villa Balbiano.’

But other social media users were left stunned by the revelations and did not hold back in the comments

The bride-to-be concluded: ‘Overall, when it comes to Lake Como wedding venues, this is definitely the venue.’

But other social media users were left stunned by the price revelations and did not hold back in the comments.

One wrote: ‘Rather get married in a box room and save the money for vacations and home renovations.’

Another added: ‘This isn’t worth it. Just the venue and no add ons for that price is ridiculous.’

And a third simply branded it as a ‘waste of money.’
