FAQs

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

We have not opened up RSVP's yet, but please RSVP as soon as possible. Since this is a destination wedding, an accurate headcount will help us plan as best as possible!

Question

Can I RSVP online?

Answer

Yes, we will have an online RSVP link that will go live as soon as formal invitations are sent out.

Question

What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues?

Answer

Our venue is the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni. The address is Via Teresio Olivelli, 1, 22021 Bellagio CO, Italy.

Question

What city should I stay in?

Answer

If you want to be as close to the venue as possible, Bellagio is where to look for accommodations! It's a small town, and we may be hosting other activities over the weekend so it would be convenient to be staying in the area. However, another popular and larger lake town is Varenna that is also a great option. It is also possible to make it to Bellagio as a day trip from Milan if you are looking to stay in a large city area. If you are not staying in Bellagio, just remember that you will most likely have to take a ferry over. The ferries run on a strict and limited time table so give yourself LOTS of time to make it to the venue.

Question

How many days should I stay?

Answer

For the most convenient and worry-free experience, you should plan on staying in Bellagio from July 10-12, 2026. This way, you have plenty of time to get ready in the morning and stay for the party! If you would like to stay elsewhere, please give yourself plenty of time to catch the ferry/train to and from the venue on the morning and night of the ceremony.

Question

What is the itinerary?

Answer

Our wedding will take place at Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni on July 11, 2026. We will be continually updating the schedule as we finalize the details! Please note that there may be a full day of activities for the ceremony date or multiple days of activities so please continue to check the "The Big Day" tab on this website.

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

Unfortunately, the hotels in the area do not offer room blocks. Please check our "Travel" tab for hotel options in the area. If you have trouble finding a place to stay, please reach out to either Elise or Ray. It is also an option to stay in other towns on the lake, but make sure you know when the last ferry leaves!

Question

What's the easiest way to get to the venue?

Answer

Since it can be a bit complicated to get to the venue, we suggest staying at an accommodation in the town of Bellagio just to simplify things on the day of the ceremony. There are plenty of hotels within walking distance.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors in the gardens as long as the weather cooperates! The reception will take place indoors. In the garden, all the pathways are gravel so stilettos or thin heels are not recommended.

Question

What's the dress code for your wedding?

Answer

Our dress code is formal/black-tie optional. Guests are encouraged to dress your best!!! Think tuxedos or more formal/dark colored suits and floor-length evening gowns. In the garden, all the pathways are gravel so stilettos or thin heels are not recommended.

Question

What is the weather and climate like in the area?

Answer

Lake Como in July will be very warm, think 75-85° during the daytime and 65-75° during the evenings. However, be prepared because Lake Como is famous for their random rains!

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?

Answer

Plus-ones will be specified on the save-the-dates/invitations. Unfortunately if you are not addressed on the invitation, we will not be able to accommodate you.

Question

Am I allowed to bring my children?

Answer

There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour. After cocktail hour, wine will be served at dinner and throughout the reception.
