FAQ
Should I come to both the Bon Voyage and Wedding?
You are absolutely welcomed at both! However, if you're aleady making the trip to Italy, no need to also travel to Arizona if that's a journey for you. Please pick the events that work best for YOU! And if they both work- then hooray! We can't wait to see you!!
What will the Bon Voyage party be like?
Please know that we will not be serving a formal sit down dinner at the Bon Voyage party! There will be heavy Hors d'oeuvres, a bar, and a live band for dancing! This is not a formal second reception, just a big party!
What should I wear?
Our wedding is black tie, with men in tuxedos and women in floor-length gowns. We encourage colorful summer gowns for a vibrant touch, but ultimately, wear whatever makes you feel most confident and fabulous! Ladies, we highly suggest choosing a thicker heel since our venue is all grass and gravel, and Lucca's charming cobblestone streets are lovely but uneven! Keep it comfortable so we can dance the night away!
For the Welcome Party and Bon Voyage party, the dress code is cocktail. Women can choose from dresses, elegant separates, or chic pantsuits, while men should opt for suits or sport coats. Ties are optional. Dress up, have fun, and enjoy the festivities!
Will transportation be provided?
Shuttles to all wedding events will pick up and drop off at Porta san Pietro, conveniently within walking distance from many hotels and vacation rentals. Please see our "Events" page for details on departure times. If you choose to stay in one of the beautiful private villas on the outskirts of Lucca, please pre-arrange transport with a private transportation company. Keep in mind that Ubers and taxis in Italy are not available on-demand like they are in the states, so pre-arranging your transport is essential! Check out our Lucca Travel Guide for more information about private transportation options.
Where should I stay?
Please see our "Accommodation" tab and "Lucca Travel Guide" for more information regarding where to stay in Lucca.
Is there a gift registry?
Your presence is our present! But seriously, we know that attending our destination wedding involves considerable expense, time off work, and travel. Your presence alone is the best gift of all. Please do not feel obligated to bring any additional gifts. However, if you still feel a strong desire, we have a registry and a honeymoon fund available in the "Registry" tab on our website.
Is there parking?
Arizona Bon Voyage- We highly suggest using a ride share for the Bon Voyage party. There will not be parking.
Italy Wedding Events- Parking is also very limited at the venue. Please take the arranged shuttles from the city or book your own transportation.
Are kids welcome?
While our wedding day will be an adults-only event, we’d love for your kids to join us at the Bon Voyage party! We understand some guests may want to make their trip to Italy a family trip, so if that's the case for you, feel free to reach out to us about childcare options for the wedding day. Thank you for understanding!
