FAQs

Question

I received an Invitation, now what?

Answer

Make sure your passport isn't expired and check that it won't expire this year! And then book your flight to Italy! If you haven't been informed of where you will be staying for the wedding festivities reach out to Taylor, Scotty or their parents! Start planning a European summer vacation! While in Italy you might as well make a whole trip out of it so start deciding where else you want to go!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

MARCH 1st please! Due to the strict nature of the capacity at the villa, along with planning a destination wedding in general, we would appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible if you think you will be joining us in Italy. If you are not able to join us, we will miss you SO much, but we completely understand it is a lot to make a trip to Italy!

Question

Do you have hotel blocks for guests?

Answer

The Villa has 36 hotel rooms that we are filling with family and the bridal party! We also have a room block reserved at Hotel San Pietro for our guests, and there are plenty of other wonderful hotels and Airbnbs in the area if you prefer to stay elsewhere. Let us know if you need any recommendations!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up with us! We kindly request formal attire. Women: Midi or floor-length dresses, or a chic pantsuit. Men: Suits. The ceremony and reception will be held on grass and cobblestone, so we recommend thicker heels or dressy sandals for comfort. And since we’ll be celebrating in Italy, feel free to embrace the moment—fun colors, patterns, and textures are encouraged!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate the guests who are formally listed on your wedding invitation. If you were given a plus one, their name will appear under yours when you RSVP. Thank you so much for your understanding!

Question

Will the wedding be outdoors?

Answer

Yes! As the sun will be shining (hopefully) our ceremony will be held outdoors with a cocktail hour and reception to follow. The after party will begin at midnight and it is required for that to be moved inside the Villa.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of parking!

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes! We will provide round-trip transportation between Hotel San Pietro and Villa Cariola for the welcome party and wedding. Both hotels also have private taxis available at all times. Exact times and details will be shared closer to the date.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Last year on June 26th, it was sunny and 75°F. Late spring and early summer in Italy are typically warm and bright during the day, with cooler, comfortable evenings — a perfect setting for outdoor celebrations!
