Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions we believe may come up and our answers. Please review them all and if you still have questions after reading these feel free to reach out.

Are children welcome?

Saturday: We kindly ask for your understanding, that all children under 12 for the dinner will either 1) participate in an alternative program/supervision we will arrange for, or 2) that you make individual arrangements to the same effect.

Friday & Sunday: kids are okay to come.

Please inform us if you plan on bringing children.

Depending on the number and age of little guests, we will try to organize joint activities & supervision. It would therefore be great if you could let us know (as early as convenient) if your children will be joining us.

You can contact our venue's usual babysitting service which operates on-site for a fee on +39 342 774 0281 to discuss options. However, it may be nice too look into this as being a nice weekend off if possible!

If you have a new baby, we understand that you might not be able to leave them with a babysitter. If you feel this is you please contact us and we will ensure we accommodate your needs as best we can.

We understand that these arrangements might require some additional planning on your part, and we deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Our goal is to make our wedding a beautiful and comfortable experience for all our guests, both young and old.

What should I wear?

Our suggested dress code for the weekend is Summer/Colourful Formal, except for the brunch/pool party where you can be more casual. Think nice suits and colourful formal dresses.

Here is a more detailed descriptions per event:

Welcome Dinner - any length of dress for women. For men dress shirts or smart short sleeves and pants.
Main Event - long or midi dresses for women. For men light suit (ex. linen), dress shirt with pants, but blazer are optional due to heat.
Brunch Pool Party - Easy beach club vibes / day by the pool.

Note: Women should avoid stiletto heels as the ceremony and aperitivo will take place on grass and the later events on cobblestone. Wider heels will be a much better option.

Given we are in the Umbrian mountains it can get cold once the sun sets so we suggest you bring a light jacket, shawl or cardigan for the evening.

How do we get to the venue?

Please see our travel page for all the details on how to get to our venue. There is free parking for those travelling by car.

Where are all the events taking place?

When should I arrive?

Please arrive on-time for check-in and the welcome dinner on the 26th! However, it is advisable to arrive a day before to be safe on travel time & if you are travelling beforehand, we plan on being in Umbria from July 22nd and we could possibly meet up if you arrive early!
