In early June, Siena typically experiences warm, sunny weather with average temperatures ranging from 64°F to 82°F. It's generally a dry month, though some rain is possible.
The currency used in Italy is the Euro (EUR). While tipping is not as prevalent as in the United States, it's generally okay to leave a small tip (1-2 euros) in restaurants or round up the bill as a gesture of appreciation for good service. In some cases, like with taxi drivers or tour guides, a tip may be more appropriate, especially for excellent service or if they go above and beyond.
We kindly ask that you do not have your phones or cameras out during the ceremony. Our photographer and videographer will be capturing the ceremony, thank you for understanding.
Yes. Please refer to the top of the 'Travel' page for details.
Most airlines typically book 11 - 12 months out from the date of departure. If you are using credit cards points, we recommend booking as soon as the date opens up. If you are purchasing your flights, the best ticket prices are typically about 6 months out. We recommend searching for flights using Google Flights - simple and easy! For further questions on booking flights, please feel free to reach out to either the bride (phone: 480-213-7066), or the mother of the bride (Charlene Dickman: 480-600-6190).
Yes, weather permitting, the ceremony, the apertif, the dinner, and the reception will all be outside on the ground of Castello Di Celsa. Please note, the grounds are primarily grass, gravel, and cobblestone.
The Type C plug is a standard two-prong European plug, and it will allow you to use your devices in Italian outlets. While most US devices can handle the 230V voltage, it's always a good idea to check your devices' specifications. If your device only accepts 110V, you may need a voltage converter in addition to the adapter.
We don't recommend exchanging a stack of cash at the airport, as the fees are astronomical. The easiest way is to use the ATM, but do NOT accept the ATMs conversion rate, your local bank will do that for you at a much more reasonable conversion.
