If you're in town this afternoon, we would love for you to join us for a leisurely 2-hour cruise on the lake. We'll be making one stop during the ride. The boat will leave at 4 PM from the dock in front of Bar Il Molo on Riva Garibaldi in Varenna. You can also look up "Taxi Boat Varenna - Dock 2" on Google. Dress is casual!

We would be overjoyed to have our loved ones all together to share a meal and get to know one another the evening before our wedding. This will be a very casual dinner - think backyard barbeque vibes!

The restaurant, Il Crotto di Lierna, is in the neighboring town of Lierna, which can be accessible via 10-minute car or train ride from Varenna. The restaurant is a 7-minute walk from the train station in Lierna. There is also parking available. There is a lovely pebble beach across the road from the restaurant, so even feel free to hang out there for the afternoon and come straight here for dinner.

Please try to arrive at the venue 15-20 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony, but the venue will be available as early as 3:30 PM. You'll find the Front Lake Terrace down the stairs from the Fountain Terrace. We also ask that you limit phone use during the ceremony. We can't wait to share the joining of our families and the beginning of our marriage with you!

Please also feel free to explore Villa Cipressi's botanical gardens, which are open to the public, including making it all the way down to "The Gates of Heaven", which is a set of cast-iron gate doors that open directly into the lake. We can't wait to catch up with all of you and admire all of your fabulous outfits! Hehe.

We'll continue the evening with dinner and dancing till dawn! Jk, I think they'll be kicking us out at 11 PM. We'll have to make every minute count!
