Question

When should I arrive in Como?

Answer

We kindly recommend arriving in Como at least 1–2 days prior to the wedding weekend to allow time to settle in, recover from travel, and enjoy the charm of the lakefront town. It’s the perfect opportunity to turn our celebration into a relaxing getaway. Please reserve the dates of June 4–6, 2026, and plan to join us for all of the wedding weekend festivities. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in beautiful Lake Como!

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP by January 1 2026. This will give us enough time to finalize vendor arrangements, head counts, travel and other important wedding details. Since we’re hosting our celebration abroad in Italy, a timely RSVP will also help us ensure everything is perfectly in place for your arrival!

Question

What should I pack?

Answer

In addition to your usual travel essentials, here are a few key items to bring for a comfortable and stress-free stay: Passport A valid passport is required to enter Italy. Make sure it’s not set to expire within six months of your travel dates. We also recommend keeping a digital copy saved securely. Outlet Adapter & Voltage Converter Italy uses Type C, F, and L plugs. A universal adapter is a must. If you plan to bring high-voltage items like hair tools, also pack a voltage converter to prevent damage. Euros in Cash Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s helpful to have euros on hand for taxis, tips, and smaller local shops. To avoid high international ATM fees, consider ordering euros in advance from your bank. Comfortable Walking Shoes Como’s cobblestone streets and lakeside paths are beautiful but uneven. Stylish yet supportive shoes are your best friend here. Light Jacket or Wrap Even in early June, Lake Como evenings can be cool, especially by the water. A light layer will come in handy—particularly for boat rides or al fresco dinners. Wedding Attire Be sure to pack outfits for all wedding weekend events (cocktail attire, white party, formal wedding wear). Check the schedule for specific dress codes. Sunscreen & Sunglasses Italian sunshine can be strong in early summer. Protect your skin and eyes while strolling through town or enjoying the lake.
