Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Lively colors (bright, pastel, whatever does it for you!!) Ladies- we would prefer floor-length dresses. We want you to play with color, texture, and most importantly, to feel AMAZING!!!! Please refrain from creams & whites. Please choose breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes—the venue has some uneven surfaces, and we want everyone to enjoy the celebration comfortably. Sandals are more than acceptable, but don't feel like you can't crack out your 5-inch Jimmy Choos! Check out our Dressing the Part tab to get a feel for our Italy Summer vibe.

Question
How do I get to Calabria?
Answer
REFER TO HOW TO GET THERE & WHERE TO STAY TAB AT TOP: Traveling to Calabria, Italy, from JFK or Newark: Calabria does not have direct flights from the U.S., so you will need to connect through a major European or Italian airport. Here’s how to plan your journey: -Fly from JFK or Newark to a major European or Italian hub *Your best options are Rome (Fiumicino – FCO) or Milan (Malpensa – MXP) (*Note: If you fly to Milan, it will take 8+ hours to get to Calabria by train). Other European hubs like Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, or Amsterdam can also work! Connect to Calabria: Option A: Domestic flight From Rome or Milan, take a domestic flight to Lamezia Terme (SUF), the main airport in Calabria. From Lamezia Terme, rent a car or take a taxi to the hotel. Option B: Train travel From Rome or Milan (or other major Italian cities), you can take a train to Calabria. The main train station in Calabria is Lamezia Terme Centrale. High-speed trains (Frecciarossa or Frecciargento) run from Rome to southern Italy, typically taking 4–6 hours. From the train station, you can take a taxi or a local bus to the hotel. Train travel is a scenic, relaxing alternative to flying domestically and avoids extra flight transfers. Alternative via Sicily: Fly into Catania (CTA) or Palermo (PMO) in Sicily and then take the ferry to Calabria, about 35-45 minute ferry ride from Catania.
