IT'S TIME

Travel

We know and understand traveling comes with difficulties and expense for all. As much as we would love everyone to be there for our big day, we know that may not be possible. We ask for your understanding and know that we will have the rest of our lives to celebrate. As you know we are planning to have our wedding in the small, quaint, picturesque town of Riva del Garda. What most don't know and are probably wondering is why? A trip to Italy in 2023 took us to this little town. Stunning to say the least. It wasn't just any town, it is a town in the region where the Castagnari name comes from. As Chris and I get married and I take his last name, this is the place we feel is right for us. There are many hotels around the town. Here are a few and the one we will be staying at. Unfortunately, the town hotels do not offer wedding prices so there are no wedding block discounts like in the US.

Flight

VENICE (VCE) MILAN (MXP) VERONA (VRN)

To get to Riva you can either fly into Verona, Venice or Milan. Milan is roughly a 2hr 45min drive, Verona is roughly a 2hr drive and Venice is roughly a 2hr and 15min drive by rental car or taxi. Taxi service is more modest from Verona if you are not renting a car.

Travel Note

TRANSPORTATION

While we would love to provide transportation to everyone, that is just not possible due to arrival dates, times and flights. Our suggestions, if you fly into Verona travel accommodations via taxi or transfer service are reasonable. If you are flying into Venice or Milan, those services are much higher in price. I recommend renting a car. Some transfer or taxi services are Transfeero and Suntransfers. * VERY IMPORTANT * If you are going to rent a car please look into an IDP as I have just found out I guess it is required in Italy to rent and drive a car. Triple A can provide them. We are providing a bus for guests arriving on September 3 to VCE. And it would be a roundtrip transfer returning to VCE on September 7 for those returning home or heading onto their next adventure. Please watch for updates. For the bussing, please note that the bus will have a specific pick up time. So there may be a wait. We will have more details at a later time. If you are planning to join us for the weekend and once you have your flights, we ask that you email us your arrival and departure times to better schedule bus pick up. We are hoping most can get a flight in before the afternoon.

Travel Note

HOTEL

When booking your hotel, just an idea to look for the Half Board option. That means the stay includes your breakfast and dinner. If you think that would work for you. If you book directly with one of the hotels I've listed, half board is an option. On booking websites like Expedia or Travelocity they only offer you "Breakfast Included".
