FAQs
Question
What happened to September?
Answer
In classic Kayla fashion, she changed her mind (after the save-the-dates were ordered!). When we visited the Dolomites, we fell in love with the green valleys, wildflowers, and long summer days—so we moved the wedding to June.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP as soon as you can so we can get an accurate headcount. If we don't hear from you, we'll follow up to confirm.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We politely request no children or young adults under 21. Thank you in advance for understanding.
Question
Can I get a +1?
Answer
Hopefully we got your special someone on the invitation! If there's been a change, please inquire directly with the bride & groom.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a menu request?
Answer
Yes. Please indicate any dietary needs/ restrictions on your RSVP.
Question
Is there parking at the events?
Answer
For the Welcome Aperitivo, you must take the cable car (or hike) to Jimmi Hutte. Free parking is available at the valley cable car station. For the wedding at Rifugio Salei, transportation from Selva di Val Gardena will be provided, and parking is available at the rifugio - no hiking required.
Question
How do I get to the Dolomites?
Answer
Start with your flights and book what makes the most sense for your plans. To get as close as possible (with a connection): Fly into Venice or Verona. Innsbruck is also close, but confirm you can take your rental car from Austria into Italy. To minimize connections: Fly into Milan or Munich. Once you know your arrival and departure airports, decide whether you want to drive directly to the Dolomites or take a train to a closer city and then rent a car for the remainder of your journey. Ask ChatGPT for help, but double-check its recommendations.
Question
Where do I stay?
Answer
Check the travel page. Our recommended hotels are listed there. Selva di Val Gardena is the best town to look in if you prefer to find your own accomodations -- there are plenty of options, but book in advance!
Question
What's the weather like?
Answer
The Dolomites are the mountains. The weather can change quickly and vary significantly with the elevation. Expect warmer temps in the valleys, and cooler temps with more wind the higher up you go. Pack for mild to warm days (low 60s - upper 70s) and cool to cold nights (upper 40-60s). A warm layer is highly recommended for all the events as they are over 7,000 ft in elevation and will be outdoors, weather permitting. Bring a rain jacket! And possibly an umbrella. Afternoon thunderstorms and rain showers are common in the summer.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
Not necessarily, though we strongly recommend it for ease of getting around in the Dolomites. Though public transit is available, once in the mountains it is only buses.
Question
Do I need a visa or travel authorization?
Answer
As of now, no. The European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) is set to launch at the end of 2026 but is not yet required.
Question
Why are there two names for places?
Answer
The Dolomites are in South Tyrol, a region with a strong German heritage that was part of Austria until WWI. Because of this, most towns and landmarks have both German and Italian names, so you may see two names for the same place.
