FAQs
Question
Where do you recommend staying?
Answer
We encourage you to explore the area, but if you’d rather not drive to the wedding venue - a scenic 40-minute drive from downtown - we recommend staying in Bellagio town center on Wednesday and Thursday nights. A shuttle service will be available from there. Please see our "Travel" section for accommodation recommendations.
Question
Are the wedding ceremony and the reception at the same venue?
Answer
Yes! Both the ceremony and reception will take place at our beautiful venue, La Madonnina di Barni.
Question
Will the ceremony or reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both our ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, weather permitting. Italy in July can be quite hot, so we recommend dressing comfortably for the summer heat. We’re wishing for sunshine, but should the weather surprise us, we have a backup plan in place to keep everyone comfortable.
Question
What is the wedding day itinerary?
Answer
Please see our "Schedule" section for more information.
Question
Is there available parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes! There's plenty of parking available if you'd prefer to drive to the venue yourself.
Question
Will there be a shuttle to and from the venue?
Answer
Yes! We’ll have a shuttle running between Bellagio’s downtown car park and La Madonnina di Barni—a scenic 40-minute drive each way. If you’d like to hop on, please RSVP so we can ensure there’s enough space for everyone. If you prefer to arrive on your own or leave before the reception ends at 12:30 AM, we highly recommend arranging transportation in advance.

Question
Can we take photos at the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that you be fully present with us during the ceremony and leave the photography to our professional photographer. Your presence means the world to us, and we’d love for you to enjoy every moment without distraction. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a truly special experience!
Question
Are children allowed?
Answer
While we love children, we’ve decided to keep our wedding an adults-only celebration, with the exception of the little ones in our bridal party. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Could you suggest places to eat, drink and see while I am in town?
Answer
We fell in love with Lake Como for a reason! Be sure to check out our "Things To Do" section for our favorite recommendations in Bellagio, around Lake Como, and even some top Italian destinations if you're turning this into a bigger adventure. Buon viaggio!
Question
Can I choose my meal?
Answer
All of our guests will enjoy the same delizioso meal highlighting traditional Northern Italian cuisine. The menu includes a flavorful antipasti, two primi (a risotto and a pasta), a secondo of tender steak, and a few fun surprises (hint, hint:🍦). Be ready to eat! If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know when you RSVP, and we’ll be happy to accommodate your needs.
