Taormina Boat Excursion

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for a 2-hour boat excursion off the coast of Taormina. We'll see the sea caves, Isola Bella, and stop for snorkeling and swimming (don't forget to pack a swimsuit)! It also includes a local aperitif of savory Sicilian nosh and refreshing prosecco (or soft drink/water). We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable afternoon! You can reserve your seat as part of the wedding RSVP process. We have arranged for 2 boats that can accommodate a total of 40. We can add more but need to reserve soon so please let us know by July 15 so we can ensure we have enough seats for everyone. Cost is $50 / €45 per person, payable to Julee Vecchio (mother of the groom) via Venmo, Zelle, Wise or cash (Euro OK). Questions? Contact Julee at thevecchios@gmail.com or +1 760 500 6773.

Pizza Welcome Event

6:00 pm

Attire: La Dolce Vita Chic Think Italian summer — linen, flowy dresses, open-collar shirts, and relaxed elegance. Stylish but comfortable for a night of pizza and wine under the Sicilian sky.

Ceremony

3:30 pm

Formal attire requested. As we’ll be celebrating in Sicily in early fall, we invite guests to embrace rich seasonal tones inspired by the landscape. Think warm earth tones, deep greens, soft golds, burgundy, and other elegant autumn hues. For women, we kindly recommend bringing a shawl or light cover-up for the church ceremony to cover shoulders. Since some areas of the venue may have uneven stone pathways, thick heels, block heels, or wedges are strongly encouraged for comfort.
