FAQs

Question

When should we arrive in Praiano?

Answer

We recommend arriving in Praiano by Friday, September 3, if possible. Our Welcome Dinner will be Saturday evening, September 4, with the wedding on Sunday, September 5. Arriving a day early gives you time to settle in, recover from travel, and enjoy Praiano before the celebrations begin.

Question

Which airport should we fly into?

Answer

Naples International Airport (NAP) is our recommended airport and the most convenient major airport for reaching Praiano and the Amalfi Coast. Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is another option if you find a better international flight. From Rome, you can take a high-speed train to Naples and arrange a private transfer from there.

Question

Do we need a rental car?

Answer

No, and we do not recommend renting one. The roads along the Amalfi Coast are narrow, winding, and can be challenging to navigate. Praiano is also very walkable once you're settled in. A private transfer is the easiest way to get to and from the area.

Question

How do we arrange a private transfer?

Answer

We recommend arranging a private car transfer to Praiano in advance. We have included two recommended transfer companies on our Travel page for your convenience. We suggest reaching out to both companies for a quote and comparing pricing before booking, as rates may vary depending on your arrival location, time, and number of passengers. When requesting a quote, provide your arrival date, flight or train information, pickup location, hotel, and number of passengers. If you're traveling with other wedding guests arriving around the same time, you may also want to ask about sharing a larger vehicle. Be sure to confirm the accepted payment method when booking, as some drivers accept credit cards while others may require cash.

Question

Can we use Uber or taxis in Praiano?

Answer

Uber and on-demand taxis are not readily available in Praiano like they are in major U.S. cities. We recommend walking when possible and arranging private transportation in advance when needed. Local taxis are available but can be limited, particularly during busy periods, so please do not rely on finding a car at the last minute.

Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

We recommend staying in Praiano, ideally within walking distance of Casa Angelina. Our primary recommendation is Casa Angelina, where the wedding will take place. Hotel Tramonto d'Oro is another wonderful option located approximately a 4–5 minute walk from Casa Angelina. Additional hotel information and booking details can be found on our Travel page.

Question

Can we stay in a villa?

Answer

Absolutely! There are many beautiful villas and vacation rentals throughout the area. However, we strongly recommend considering the location carefully before booking. Praiano is known for winding roads, steep hills, and lots of stairs, and taxis are not always readily available. While a villa may look close to Casa Angelina on a map, getting to and from the venue can be more difficult than expected and may require arranging private transportation in advance. For the easiest and most enjoyable wedding-weekend experience, we highly recommend staying at Casa Angelina or our recommended hotel within walking distance. This will make getting to and from the wedding events much simpler and allow you to enjoy the weekend without having to coordinate transportation.

Yes. Miragalli is within walking distance of both Casa Angelina and Hotel Tramonto d'Oro.

Question

What shoes should we wear?

Answer

Comfort is important on the Amalfi Coast! Praiano has hills, stairs, cobblestones, and uneven surfaces. For the wedding, the ceremony will take place in the garden, so we recommend block heels, wedges, dressy flats, or other grass-friendly shoes rather than stilettos.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be outdoors?

Answer

Yes. Weather permitting, our ceremony will take place outdoors in the gardens at Casa Angelina, followed by specialty cocktails on the Garden Terrace. From there, we’ll make our way to the Rooftop Terrace for champagne and light bites, followed by dinner overlooking the Amalfi Coast.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Early September is typically warm and beautiful in Praiano. Historically, September averages around 81°F for the high and 68°F for the low, although temperatures vary throughout the month. Evenings near the water can feel cooler, so a light wrap or jacket is a good idea.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. Please refer to your invitation for the guests included in your party.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to the intimate size of our celebration, we are only able to accommodate the guests specifically named on your invitation. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our celebration intimate.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

For guests staying at Casa Angelina or nearby in Praiano, most wedding weekend events will be within walking distance. For your arrival and departure from Praiano, we recommend arranging transportation in advance. You’ll find our preferred private car service, along with additional transportation information, on the Travel page.

Question

What currency should we bring, and do we need cash?

Answer

Italy uses the euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, including Visa and Mastercard, and American Express is accepted at many hotels, restaurants and shops. We recommend using a credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees whenever possible. It is also helpful to carry a small amount of euros for cafés, tips, transportation and smaller businesses that may not accept cards. Some private drivers may require cash, so confirm the accepted payment method when booking.

Question

Are gifts expected?

Answer

Absolutely not. Your presence is truly the greatest gift we could ask for.
