Question

How should we get to the wedding venue? How will we get home?

Answer

Please arrange transportation needs to the venue and arrive prior to 4:30pm. The ceremony will begin between 4:30pm and 4:40pm. Please utilize taxis (Freenow/Radio taxi app) or uber. We will be providing all guests transportation back to their respective hotels/air bnbs after the wedding. The first van (6 people) will depart at 11:30pm and will depart hourly there after. Last van departure will be 1:45am.

Question

“I’m staying at an air bnb/hotel near the water, how do I get to each event without getting a taxi/uber?”

Answer

For all our guests staying at Panoramic Hotel - there is the Mazzaró cable car that is walking distance (4 min walk) from the hotel. The cable car departs every 15 mins and takes approximately 5 mins to bring you into the city center. From the cable car drop off at the top it is: 14 mins walk to welcome dinner 26 min walk to wedding venue 7 min walk to brunch For guests staying further away, a taxi/uber ride may be best if you can’t make it to the cable car.

Question

Is there a dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding celebration calls for elegant attire with a touch of personal style. While black tie optional gives you flexibility, we have a few gentle preferences: For our female guests, we would be delighted if you chose a dress in shades of light orange, soft pink, peaches, coral, or light yellow. These colors will beautifully complement our wedding palette and create a cohesive, warm aesthetic. While not mandatory, we would love to see our loved ones dressed in these lovely hues. Gentlemen are welcome to wear a suit or tuxedo blue or black that makes them feel confident and comfortable. But please feel free to add in a touch of our wedding color if you’d like! Our goal is for everyone to feel elegant, comfortable, and part of our special day. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Are there direct flights to Sicily?

Answer

YES! There are direct flights into both Palermo and Catania. There are multiple airlines however the two I’m familiar with are Delta and United that fly direct. Catania is the closest airport to Taormina. Otherwise many non-direct flights usually fly into Rome first then Catania. Once you arrive to Sicily you’ll need to get to Taormina. Option 1: Fly direct to Palermo then either take the train (5.5 hours) or rent a car (3 hours). This option is great for people who have some time to explore and want to sight see. Option 2: Fly direct into Catania and either take a bus (1.5 hours) or rent a car/get an uber/arrange for private car (45 mins).

Question

Are children/babies allowed?

Answer

YES! Children and babies are welcome to all the festivities. Please note that the wedding music will be louder towards the end of the night which may not be suitable for small children/babies.
