We're so excited to celebrate with all of our loved ones! Our wedding is a private event, and we are only able to accommodate the guests formally invited on your invitation.
While we adore your little ones, we have chosen to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope this allows you to relax, enjoy a well-deserved night out, and celebrate with us fully. Please note that only the children specifically named on your invitation are invited to attend. For your convenience, babysitter recommendations will be available through our wedding planners. If you would like assistance arranging childcare, please let us know in advance.
Italy uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but we recommend carrying some cash for small purchases, taxis, or cafés. Please note that we are close to the border of Switzerland and the currency used there is the Swiss Franc (CHF).
Eary June in Italy is typically warm-ish and sunny, with daytime temperatures averaging 71–74°F (22–24°C). Evenings can be cooler near the water averaging 58–60°F (14–16°C), so we suggest bringing a light wrap or jacket. Please check on your weather apps the week leading up to June 12th for better accuracy.
Stresa is a VERY walkable city but there are many modes of transportation from taxis, buses, boats, and even trains.
