The ceremony will begin at 5:00pm, guests will be seated at 4:45pm.

We will be providing transportation for our guests to and from the venue. Mode details to come, so please continue to check the website!

If you do happen to miss the transportation or prefer to arrange your own, you can call for an independent taxi from Stresa’s city center or your immediate location.

Should you choose to drive (which we don’t recommend), there is parking at the venue, though please be aware that space is limited.

We are so excited to celebrate this day with our nearest and dearest! Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally addressed on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear on your invite as “{Your Name} & Guest." Thank you for your understanding!

Hell No!

We love your little ones as much as you do. For various reasons, our wedding will be an adults only event. We encourage moms and dads to think of this weekend as some well-deserved R&R time and a chance to let loose and unwind. We do acknowledge the burden this decision puts on parents and understand if you are unable to attend.

Should you wish to make your trip a family vacation, you may hire local child care (our wedding planner can suggest a service) for the evening if you do not plan on bringing another supervising adult along. If you will be traveling with children, they are absolutely welcome to join us for pre- and post- wedding day events and activities.

We want you to look and feel your best, and would love to see you get dressed up with us! After all, we’ll be a stone’s throw away from Milan, so don’t be afraid to have fun with it!

For the big day, attire should be formal (black tie optional). While there’s no specific theme, think about what you’d want to wear to a chic garden party on a summer afternoon. We’ve linked some inspo for you here.

The ladies can opt for a breezy or satin full-length or ankle-length dress, or a formal jumpsuit. Think fun and bright colors, patterns, textures, accessories - you name it! The primary walkways will be gravely, so a pair of kitten or block heels will be a more comfortable footwear choice.

Men, use your best judgement. A suit and tie is just fine.

For the welcome party, plan to dress in semi-formal/cocktail attire. Summer cocktail dresses, stylish jumpsuits, matching sets, button-downs, slacks, sport coats. Don’t overthink it!

We expect that the weekend will be spent mostly outdoors, though, we can’t control the weather! In the event of rain, the ceremony and reception will be moved indoors.

Summers in Italy tend to be hot no matter where you find yourself. We’ll be in the north near the Alps, so you can expect somewhat cooler temperatures than in other regions, especially at night. Please be prepared to dress for the heat, but bring a light jacket, sweater, or shawl for the evening.

And, most importantly — pack a swimsuit!

Please put your phones away and on silent for an “unplugged” ceremony, meaning no photos on personal devices (e.g., iPhones, cameras, etc.). We kindly ask that all guests respect this request and be completely present during this special time.

Our talented hired professionals will be doing the photo taking during the ceremony, and will share those photos with you.

Feel free to take all the photos you’d like before and after the ceremony!

Absolutely. Yes. Of Course. Next Question.

Drinks are on us - the hangover’s on you.

We are so grateful for the effort you’ll be making to join us on our big day. As the old adage goes, your presence is the present — so, please, no gifts!!

Should you feel strongly that you would like to give us a gift anyway, we graciously ask that it be in the form of cash only as we will be unable to travel with physical gifts. Any cash gift will be considered a donation to our honeymoon fund.

In order to provide our total guest count to our venue and vendors in the timeframe they’ve required, we ask that your RSVP be submitted by May 31st, 2026.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept late RSVPs. If we do not receive your RSVP before then, we will have to mark you as not attending and will miss celebrating with you. We hope you understand!
