Question
Where should we stay?
Answer
The Masseria Grieco has limited rooms and we are making those available to family and a few groups before opening it up for all. There are endless Masserie in the area, or you can find some fantastic options in the local town of Ostuni (less than 15 min by car).
Question
How should we plan to get to and from the venue?
Answer
We highly recommend renting a car, or saddling up with friends who will have one. Puglia is an explorers paradise, and you will want flexibility to hit the beach, visit local towns, taste the local wines, etc. We will have shuttles to the venue for the wedding day (Saturday October 5th), as well as back to wherever you are staying after the afterparty - want to make sure everyone can enjoy themselves and get home safely.
Question
What will the weather be like in early October?
Answer
The weather averages mid-high 70's during the day, and gets down to mid 60's at night. This region is known to be a bit windy on some days, so we recommend packing an extra layer for the evenings as most of the events will be held outside.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
You'll need three looks for the weekend: - Italian Cocktail - Chic Formal - Mediterranean Poolside Bring it!
Question
Will there be food and drinks during the welcome party? On the day? Pool party?

We will be serving snacks and drinks throughout the duration of planned events and dinner during the reception.

Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?

Question
What else should I know before traveling through Puglia?
Answer
Extend your trip before or after and explore the Southern part of Puglia! We highly recommend renting a car and basing yourselves in Ostuni for easy day trips up or down the coast. There are very reliable and cheap public transit options via train or bus, but nothing beats the flexibility you'll have with your own ride. Here is a great little guide to get you started. https://www.alongdustyroads.com/posts/useful-tips-puglia-italy
