FAQs

Question

Do I need a passport or visa?

Answer

You do need a passport, but you do not need a visa. Some airlines may require your passport expiration date to be greater than 6 months from the trip, so make sure you check your expiration date well in advance of travel.

Question

Will the events be outdoors?

Answer

Yes, all events will be outdoors, weather permitting. The weather in Lake Como in late May is typically between 60 - 75 degrees Fahrenheit, so please dress accordingly. Light jackets/shawls recommended.

Question

Are kids permitted at the wedding?

Answer

We love your kids, but our wedding and reception is an adults only event.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to Villa Balbianello's restriction on wedding size (as it's a historic venue), we ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding.

Question

Dress Code

Answer

Welcome party - May 24, 2024 is a WHITE THEME PARTY! Please dress in all white! The party will be outdoors - please check weather as Lake Como does get chilly at night. For the wedding: gowns and suits. Ladies: there is a bit of walking to get to the ceremony location. I recommend wearing short heels that are square block (thick heels) so that your heels do not get stuck on the pebbles. Villa Balbianello is a historic site and the pathways are pebbles.

Question

Hotels seemed sold out already - what do I do?

Answer

Most of the hotels in Lake Como open their availability for May 2024 in August. If you see that it's not available- check back in a few weeks to see the openings.
