We wanted to have a meaningful vacation with our closest friends and family to celebrate our marriage instead of a traditional wedding! We’ve invited our favorite people to spend a week in Italy with us, culminating in a wedding celebration on Friday, June 26th, 2026. Claire and Gabe will be staying with the wedding party in a villa just outside the town of Montepulciano, where we will be hosting on the 26th.

The bride & groom have booked a villa for the wedding party to stay in for the week! We encourage you all to make the most of it & stay for the entire duration of the booking - June 23rd to June 30th. Family outside of the wedding party are encouraged to stay within driving/train distance of the villa to come celebrate on the 26th. Those not staying in the villa are welcome to come spend time with the wedding party as little or as much as you'd like! The wedding party consists of: Claire Busby & Gabe Tierney, Alexa Busby, Natalie Gray, Crysten Kurland, Lauren Simms, Zander Hirman & Zack Hirman, Alyssa Voydatt & Logan Phillips, Chelsea Baker & Connor Phillips, Rori & Tyler Winslow.

Claire & Gabe will be renting a car to take trips to the store in - you are welcome to book your own car if you would like to, that is up to you. Many travelers in this area use Chiusi‑Chianciano Terme station — a major hub on the Florence–Rome rail line — and then take a bus or taxi for the final leg to Montepulciano.

If you are staying in the villa, you are encouraged to get tickets with other family members & friends! This will lessen our trips back and forth from the airport. If you need assistance with booking your trip, please reach out to Claire's mom Stephanie who is a travel advisor and can help you with flights, stays and more! She has lots of tips and tricks to save you some money! You can reach her at 303 775 7128 or email her at steph@twoheronstravel.com. PLEASE check your passport ASAP! There are laws around expiration dates and if you need to update it, now is the time!

PLEASE feel free to reach out to Claire, Gabe or Claire's mom to get clarification on any question. There are no dumb questions in international travel! Claire: 303 552 7493 Gabe: 303 819 8683 Stephanie Busby: 303 775 7128
