Q + A
Can I bring a date?
As we have a strict guest list to stay within our venue's capacity, we can only accommodate those listed on your specific invitation. If your invitation included a guest, you may bring one guest of your choosing. Thank you for understanding!
Is there a dress code?
Please see the "home" page for suggested attire for each event. This is an amazing article that discusses the differences between cocktail and black tie optional attire : https://www.brides.com/black-tie-optional-wedding-attire-4800698.
Keep in mind that it will be cool in Italy in late April. In Poggibonsi, the average high is around 70 degrees with the average low in the 50s. As such, ladies may prefer to wear longer dresses for both events rather than just the wedding. Please no short dresses for the wedding! We would love to see all of our friends and family dress up for this special day!
When do I need to RSVP by?
September 1, 2024.
What happens if I don't RSVP in time?
If we do not get an RSVP back by the date provided, it will be marked as a "No." We will miss you celebrating with us, but we have to provide total guest counts to the venue in a timely manner. We hope that you understand!
How will we get to the venue?
We will provide transportation to the venue on the day of the wedding. The venue is built in such a way that only smaller cars can access the roads to it, so there will be multiple trips made. If you rent a car or have a car service, you can drive directly to the castle as well. There is limited parking available for guests. More details to come as the date approaches!
Will this be an unplugged ceremony?
Yes! We have two lovely photographers who will be able to capture all of the special moments and want all of our guests to be just as present as us. Please silence cell phones and refrain from using during the ceremony. Plenty of time for pictures after!!
Will the ceremony be outdoors?
Yes, the ceremony will be outdoors on the rear terrace of the property overlooking the Tuscan Hills! If there is rain, the ceremony will be moved indoors on the same property.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! A selection of drinks (beer, wine, aperol spritz, soft drinks, juices) will be offered throughout the night beginning with the aperitif, and the bar will open fully after dinner. Saluti (Cheers)!
**PLEASE BRING A PAIR OF SHOES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE TO DANCE IN! **
We have many hours planned for dancing and can store your extra shoes inside the castle. Bring them dancing shoes and we will see you on the dance floor!!! :)
