FAQs

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

The closest airport is Amerigo Vespucci Airport (Aeroporto Amerigo Vespucci) in Florence. You can also arrive by train if traveling within Italy!

Question

Do I need any special paperwork to travel to the EU or Italy?

Answer

If you’re an American passport holder planning a short vacation (tourist stay of up to 90 days within 180 days) to Italy or most other EU/Schengen countries, as of beginning 2026, the European Union is rolling out a new entry requirement called ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System). U.S. travelers will need to apply online in advance for an ETIAS travel authorization before visiting Italy or other participating European countries. This is not a visa, but it will be required for visa-free travel and is valid for multiple trips over three years or until your passport expires. Plan to apply for the ETIAS authorization before your trip. (Note: Requirements can change. Always check official government sources before you travel.)

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Question

When do I need to RSVP?

Answer

To help us in the planning process, we kindly ask that you RSVP by August 1st. Your timely response will help us create a seamless and joyous celebration. If we do not receive your RSVP in time, we will assume that you are unable to attend.

Question

What should I do if I cannot make it?

Answer

You will be dearly missed! If you already know you cannot attend, please let us know in the Pre-RSVP. If you are hoping to attend, you can indicate 'attending' in the Pre-RSVP, and later, when the formal RSVP is sent, you will be able to update your response if plans change. If you have already RSVP'd 'attending', but later find out you cannot make it, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Question

Can I bring a guest/plus-one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If a plus-one had been given to you, your invitation will be addressed as [Your Name] + [Guest]. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate additional guests. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding will have a black tie optional dress code. For gentlemen, a suit or tuxedo, and for ladies, floor-length or midi-length dresses. We recommend wedges or block heels as the ceremony and reception will be outdoors. We can't wait to see you dressed up! Please plan with the weather in mind, as both the ceremony and reception are outdoors.

Question

What is the weather like this time of year?

Answer

In October, Florence enjoys mild autumn weather, with daytime temperatures averaging 14–21 °C (57–70 °F) and nighttime temperatures cooling to around 10–13 °C (50–55 °F). Evenings can feel crisp, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap. Since both the ceremony and reception are outdoors, breathable layers are ideal for the day, with an extra layer for comfort at night.

Question

What time should I arrive to the wedding?

Answer

We recommend arriving at 4 P.M. to ensure you're seated and ready for the festivities!

Question

Where can I find accommodation options for out-of-town guests?

Answer

Please visit the 'travel' tab on our website to see more accommodation details.

Question

Is this an indoor or outdoor event?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be located outdoors.

Question

Will you have shuttle services to and from the venue?

Answer

Yes! We will provide shuttle services to and from the venue, with pickup times and locations shared closer to the date. You are of course more than welcome to arrange your own transportation (such as a taxi or private driver), but we wanted to make it easy for everyone to get to and from the venue. Note: If you choose to drive, please keep in mind that Italy’s legal tolerance for drinking and driving is much lower than in the United States. For everyone’s safety, we strongly recommend using the shuttle service or a taxi if you plan to drink.
