FAQs

The Wedding Website of Rachel Dapolito and Sami Ali
Question

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception are at the same location, the details are listed on the official invitation.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We have a creative, formal dress code. This means bright, bold colors are welcome! Think: Longer style dresses & suits! (The bridesmaids will be wearing a variety of orange colors). https://pin.it/2P9p4LVyv (my Pinterest board for examples of the dress code, this is also listed under Travel tab where you can click on the link to take you right to it) Please no jeans or sneakers. We kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the Bride: Whites, ivories, and creams.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be made out to “(Your Name) & Guest” if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I take photos and videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that you do not have your phones or cameras out during the ceremony. Our awesome photographer will be capturing the ceremony, and we do not want any phones in our photos or anyone obstructing the photographer.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes, check out the Travel tab on the website.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

You can click the RSVP tab above at any time. Given the location of the wedding, please RSVP by February 1st 2025.

Question

What if I don’t RSVP in time?

Answer

If you do not RSVP by February 1st 2025, you will be marked as “not attending”. We would love celebrating with you, however, since the wedding is in Italy, we need RSVPs as early as possible, and unfortunately cannot accept late RSVPs.

Question

What should I do if I cannot make it?

Answer

Your presence will be greatly missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate “Will Not Attend” on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP’d “Attending”, but find that you will not make it, please notify Rachel or Sami as soon as you are aware.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at 3:00pm to have time to park, have a pre-ceremony refreshment, and get seated. The ceremony will begin at 3:30pm.
