Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please submit your RSVP by May 19, 2026.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Passports must be valid for at least six months after travel, so make sure that your passport is all renewed and ready to go! Passports can take months to arrive so please check this as soon as possible.

Question

When should I arrive in Manziana?

Answer

To make the most of your stay, we recommend arriving on August 17th, giving you time to get settled, attend our (optional) pool party, explore the area, and make it to the rehearsal dinner on the 18th.

Question

Am I invited to the rehearsal dinner?

Answer

One fun part about a smaller, destination wedding - EVERYONE is welcome at the rehearsal dinner!

Question

Can I bring my kids to wedding events?

Answer

If your invitation was addressed to you and your children, they are more than welcome to join in on the festivities! We are currently looking into whether we will offer babysitting services during the reception. If this is something you'd be interested in, let us know!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We kindly ask that you don't bring a date if it was not specified on your invitation.

Question

How do I know if I'm staying at Villa Clodia?

Answer

People staying at Villa Clodia include the immediate family of the bride and groom and part of the bridal party. If you are staying here, Sofia or Michael has already reached out to let you know!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the wedding?

Answer

If you are staying in Manziana, Villa Clodia is a quick walk or taxi from your accommodation. If you are staying in Bracciano, please reference the question below.

Question

Can I rely on Ubers or taxis to get around?

Answer

We don't recommend solely relying on Uber or taxis to get around. Since Manziana and Bracciano are small towns, Ubers and taxis are available but can have longer wait times and higher prices. If you are staying in Bracciano, trains are available to transport you to Manziana quickly until 10 pm. Pending on how many people decide to stay at Bracciano hotels, we will set up a shuttle service with the hotels throughout the reception.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that you refrain from using your phone or camera to take photos during the ceremony. We hired professionals to take photos for us, so just unplug and enjoy the moment :)

Question

What should I remember to pack?

Answer

Comfortable walking shoes (expect lots of cobblestone streets), breathable fabrics (it's going to be hotttt), plug adapter to charge your phone in the Italian outlets (and a higher voltage one to use your hair tools), euros (helpful to avoid overseas transaction fees), wedding and rehearsal dinner outfits, your bathing suit, and your PASSPORT!!

Question

Do US phone plans work in Italy?

Answer

Yes! Contact your wireless provider for details on their overseas plans. Alternatively, you could install an eSim card using the app Airalo - something that I did while living in Rome because it was cheaper than using my Verizon international plan.

Question

Who should I contact with questions while in Italy?

Answer

This is where our trusty Maid of Honor comes in! Contact Addie via text or phone call, she is happy to help! (832-302-5420)
