FAQs

The Wedding Website of Joanna Eland and Pete Shilling
Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP on this website as soon as you can, no later than March 31st, 2026.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We hope you’ll use our wedding as an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful Italian getaway. If you plan to bring your children along for the trip and would like for them to attend the events, they are absolutely welcome. If you prefer to enjoy any of the wedding festivities without little ones in tow, we’re happy to help arrange local childcare options. Our ceremony will begin in the evening at 6:00 PM, and we plan to celebrate and dance late into the night. If you’re bringing children, please keep in mind that the later start means the evening may run well past their bedtime. Please be sure to include the number of children and their ages when you RSVP.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We recommend that you stay in or near the town of Noto. Please check the 'Travel' section of the website for recommended lodging.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony and reception is outdoors.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Sicily can get hot in the summer, which is why the ceremony will take place in the early evening. You can expect daytime highs in the mid to high 80's, with cooler evenings dropping into the 60's.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

'La Dolce Vita Formal' You know Jo loves her fashion, so we want you to bring it! We envision our wedding day as an exuberant, colorful, fabulous celebration, and we hope you'll dress the part. Ladies: Gowns or upscale cocktail dresses are encouraged. Don't worry about upstaging the bride... bold colors, prints and personality are all welcome. With the exception of the ceremony, the events will take place on paved ground, so feel free to rock those stilettos. Men: Suits are preferred, but feel free to express yourself. Lightweight fabrics like linen are a smart choice for the warm weather. Ties are optional, and cool shades or snazzy hats get extra credit. :)

Question

Will there be transportation to the wedding venue?

Answer

Yes, we are arranging shuttles for all of our guests to Braccialieri from the town of Noto. More details to come!
