The idea

Less wedding, more festival

One day, one venue, all our people — lake air, good food, games, and dancing till late. Join us on Saturday from the ceremony right through to the last song.

Our wedding is untraditional — like us. Expect a relaxed, informal celebration by the lake: no formal seated service, just good food, good people, and plenty of dancing.

The vibe

Made to Be Shared

A day of shared food, music, games, and dancing — all set against the backdrop of Lake Como. Wander, eat, drink, and celebrate with us from the ceremony into the night. A celebration designed to feel effortless, intimate, and full of life.

No rules, just good vibes.

Our story

A few words about us

ZHUO + BENASSI = THE ZENASSI’S

In May 2023, Amy and Luis matched on Hinge, met in Berlin 1 month later after daily texting and calling, and decided within a week to continue being together 💘

A core value that they share is multiculturalism; learning from experiencing the world, and working hard to make it a better place. Amy is Taiwanese-Canadian, and Luis Bolivian-Italian, so naturally they would choose South Africa as their home base 😂

While spending months together in Berlin, Barcelona, New York, Taipei, Vancouver, Bergamo, and Cape Town over the years, we are so lucky to have built a global community of amazing people who we can’t wait to celebrate together with. It’s only the beginning of a beautiful life that we all share and inspire each other with 🌟

In May this year, we got officially engaged by separately proposing to each other in unique ways. Our journey has been touched by each and every one of you, and we are so grateful for your friendship, your support, and your love for us 💍

Marriage is important to us not as a religious or traditional act, but rather a symbol of the immense courage, vulnerability, and perseverance it takes to build a life and a family with one person for your entire life. We see how each decade it becomes more meaningful and how love can grow and transform if you let it ❤️

The wedding, on the other hand, is really just the best excuse to gather everyone we love for the most fun and beautiful day possible. We know it’s a LOT to ask to travel all the way to Lake Como to celebrate with us, so truly know that we will find other ways to spend quality time together if it’s not possible this time around 🥳

XOXO Hugs from Amy & Luis 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻

Our journey

A Few Snapshots

A life, mapped

Our map of the world

Every place on here means something — home, a gap year, a thunderstorm on a volcano. This is the short version of how we ended up here.

Where we’re from

Four cities, four different families.

Where we wandered

Before either of us knew the other existed.

Where it got real

Where we found each other, and the trips that made it clear this was serious.

Home, and where it all begins

Where we live now, and where this next chapter starts.

☮️ The Zenassi Wedding · Saturday, August 28, 2027 · Oratorio di Musso · Musso (Lake Como) 🌊

🕵️ Loading the case…

Where

Musso, Lake Como

We’re celebrating at the Oratorio di Musso, in the small village of Musso on the western shore of Lake Como. We’ve booked the venue just for the day — everything happens right here, from the ceremony until late-night dancing.

⚠️ Heads-up: we’re in Musso, not in the city of Como — Musso is about an hour’s drive north of Como, in the upper part of the lake.

The venue is right on the lakefront — so if the mood strikes, feel free to take a spontaneous dip in the lake 🌊 There’s a public shower at the beach.

Getting there

On the road

Fly into any of Milan’s three airports. From there it’s roughly 1.5–2 hours by car to Musso, depending on the airport and traffic.

MXP
Milan Malpensa
Main international hub
LIN
Milan Linate
City airport · European flights
BGY
Milan Bergamo
Low-cost airlines · Ryanair hub
Getting aroundDetails
Rental carThe easiest and most flexible option. Hertz should work for American licenses, but it's always best to get an IDP (international driver's permit). Watch out for manual/automatic if you don't drive manual — and expect narrow, winding lake roads and limited parking in the villages.
Train + bus/ferryTrains run from Milan to Como; from there, local buses and ferries continue up the lake to Musso. Slower, but very scenic.
Taxi / rideshareLimited locally — don't rely on Uber, especially late at night after the party.
CarpoolOnce your flights are booked, send us your arrival details — we'll help match you up.
Accommodation

Where to stay

There’s no hotel block this time — we’ve booked a venue just for the day, so you’re free to stay wherever suits you best. Lake Como has plenty of options for every style and budget, so choose based on your own preferences.

Hotels
Booking.com
Airbnb & holiday apartments
B&Bs & guesthouses
  • Staying in or near Musso — or in the neighbouring lakeside villages — keeps the trip to the venue short.
  • Late August is high season on the lake, so we recommend booking early.
  • Want to share a place with other guests? Mention it in your RSVP and we’ll help connect you.

What to expect

A few honest heads-ups, so you know exactly what kind of day you're walking into.

  • It’s a one-day festival on Saturday, August 28 — join us from the ceremony until late-night dancing.
  • The whole wedding happens in one location — no shuttling between venues.
  • Our idea of fun = an all-day dance floor, lawn games, and plenty of time with the people we love.
  • It's not a religious or legal ceremony — just us and our people.
  • It’s not a formal sit-down meal with table service — food will be relaxed, informal, and made for mingling.
  • It's a bilingual wedding — expect both English and Italian throughout the day.
  • We’re right on the lakefront — bring a swimsuit and towel if you fancy a spontaneous swim. There’s a public shower at the beach.
  • Late August on Lake Como is usually warm — but evenings by the water can cool down, so bring a light layer.
  • There’s no hotel block — you book your own stay (see Accommodation).
  • Once you’ve booked your flights, please let us know — it helps us plan (and match up carpools).

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly is the wedding?

In Musso, a small village on the western shore of Lake Como — not in the city of Como, which is about an hour’s drive south. The venue is the Oratorio di Musso, right on the lakefront. Open in Google Maps

Can I attend only part of the day?

It’s a one-day celebration on Saturday, August 28 — from the ceremony until late-night dancing, all in one place. We’d love for you to be there from the ceremony and stay as long as you can.

Do I need to pay anything?

No — there’s nothing to pay. Just RSVP, then book your own travel and accommodation.

Are children invited?

Of course — this celebration is for our whole community, so bring whoever feels right for your family. Just let us know in your RSVP if you’re bringing children so we can plan for them.

What weather should I expect?

Late-summer lake weather — usually warm, sunny days and milder evenings, with the odd summer storm. More details soon.

What should I wear?

Colorful and comfortable — think relaxed summer party by the lake. Please don’t feel you need to wear a suit: we really don’t expect one! Comfy shoes you can dance in and a light layer for the evening are a good idea. For ideas, see our Pinterest board and the dress guidance.

Can I swim in the lake?

Yes! The venue is right on the lakefront, so feel free to take a spontaneous dip whenever you like — just bring a swimsuit and towel. There’s a public shower at the beach.

Do I need to rent a car?

It's the easiest way to get around the lake — see Location & Travel.

Are taxis or Uber available?

Can I arrive early or stay longer?
