We request that guests' attire is black tie and ask for the color palette of attire to be black and white. For guests who choose to wear a suit, we ask that you wear a black suit with a white shirt and black tie. For guests who choose to wear a dress, we ask that you wear a black formal evening gown or cocktail dress.
All guests are welcome to stay at the location of their choosing - we recommend you reserve whatever lodging best meets your personal needs. While Villa Cipressi has a variety of rooms available for guests who want to stay right at the venue, we've also provided several alternate accommodations that are within walking distance of the venue in the "accommodations" tab.
One of the reasons we chose Villa Cipressi for our venue is the ease of getting around in Varenna. While there are no ride share options (e.g., Uber or Lyft) in the region, Varenna is located right on a main train line that makes transportation to the airport and other parts of Italy very accessible. Beyond this, Varenna itself is a very walkable town, like much of Italy, making it easy to walk from place to place during your stay. Please note that we plan to arrange transportation for all excursions and activities in the days leading up to the wedding, for all guests who choose to join us in Varenna early.
