Check back as we'll continue to update this page as we get closer to the big day

 

Where is Lake Garda?

Lake Garda is Italy's largest lake and it's located in Northern Italy.  Please visit our Travel Tips page for more information on how to get there.

 

Is this happening over Labor Day Weekend?

It is!  Although, they don't celebrate Labor Day in Italy, we hope the long weekend will help aid in your travel plans.

 

What’s the dress code for the Wedding Day?

This will be a formal event, please dress appropriately. The weather might be hot and we recommend light, breathable formal wear.  Ladies, we recommend saving your highest stilettos for another occasion and opting for a shoe you're going to be comfortable in for most of the day.  Remember, this is Italy!  You will be getting on and off a boat on the Wedding Day and we don't want any broken ankles!

 

What's the timeline of the Wedding Day?

We expect the event to begin in the mid afternoon and will continue well into the late night. 

 

Where do we park?

Parking information will be provided closer to the event date.

 

Is transportation provided?

The best way to experience the lake is from the water.  We'll be taking you by boat to the beautiful Isola Del Garda in the middle of the lake for our ceremony.  We'll take you back to shore for our reception at Torre San Marco in Gardone Riviera.  More details to follow.

 

Can I bring a guest or a plus-one?

We do have limited space and all invites are intended for two guests. Single guests are permitted a plus-one.  

 

Are children welcome?

Due to the nature of our wedding and the locations, we kindly ask that children not attend. Thank you for understanding.

 

How is the Weather?

Lake Garda can be hot in the month of August. We've selected the last week of the month when the weather typically starts to cool. Lake Garda also is famous for a consistent breeze coming off the mountains that should keep the weather pleasant.

 

Will there be accommodations nearby?

Yes! Our reception is located in Gardone Riviera Village. There are many great hotels and apartments to rent in the immediate area.  Please see our Travel Tips page for hotel information.

 

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Absolutely! We will have professional photographers capturing the moment, however if you feel you'd like to take pictures, we just ask that you please be respectful and not stand to take a picture that would block the photographer during the Ceremony.

 

Is there a Wedding registry?

We do have a Honeymoon Fund that you can, but are absolutely not required to contribute to.  We'll post it here on our website soon.

 

If I plan to extend my trip, what's nearby?

There are many incredible towns around the lake that are worth visiting and plenty of activities to do around Garda in the summer.  We'll write up an article and post it on our Travel Tips page with some of our favorite towns to visit around the lake, as well as some of our favorite cities that are close by in Northern Italy.  Check back soon!
