6:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Please wear cocktail attire with elegant ease. Ladies, opt for chic summer dresses; gentlemen, button-down shirts with dress pants or chinos. A blazer is optional. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the castle grounds have stairs and uneven surfaces.
Kick off the celebration with us at a lively welcome party! Enjoy a delicious spread featuring assorted pizzas, cold cuts, fresh salads, and desserts, paired with beer and wine. Get ready for a relaxed evening of good food, great company, and the perfect start to our wedding weekend. The welcome party will be held at CastelBrando. Free parking is available at Via Pietro Mascagni, 8, 31030 Cison di Valmarino TV, Italy, and from there you can take the gondola/funicular up to the castle. Hotel guests can swipe their room key to ride up for free, or ring the doorbell and let staff know you are checking in to the hotel. Other guests may ride up for a small fee. While there is limited paid parking at the top near the hotel, we recommend parking in the free lot and taking the gondola/funicular to the castle. Once you arrive in the hotel lobby, staff will be happy to direct you to the welcome party location.
3:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Formal/Black Tie
Our wedding at CastelBrando will be a formal celebration, with part of the event held outdoors. The dress code is black-tie invited, and we would love for men to wear dark suits or tuxedos and women to wear elegant evening dresses or gowns. Because some areas of the castle feature uneven stone and concrete surfaces, we recommend that women choose sturdy heels, wedges, or flats instead of stilettos for comfort and safety. Northern Italian weather can be unpredictable, so we also suggest bringing a shawl or light jacket for layering during cooler moments outdoors. Please note that this will be an adults-only celebration, and we kindly ask that no children attend. A reception with dinner and dancing will follow, and we look forward to celebrating this special day with you.
