Wedding FAQs

Where should I stay?

We’ve booked out the entire Villa Lena property for the nights of Wednesday, October 8th, and Thursday, October 9th. While we would love for all of our guests to stay with us at Villa Lena, we have limited space. Until we have a full headcount, we won't be able to confirm accommodation at Villa Lena. Once you RSVP, we’ll get in touch to help book your room. If you’d prefer to stay off-property, let us know, and we’ll provide a list of nearby accommodations. Please note that transportation will only be arranged for guests staying on-site.
How do I get there?

By Plane: we recommend flying into either Pisa or Florence airports: Pisa International Airport (PSA): 45-60 min by car Florence Airport (FLR): 60-75 min by car Car rental is advised, but if you prefer, Villa Lena can assist with taxi services. Just email host@villa-lena.it with your flight info. By Train: The closest major train stations are Pisa Centrale (Pisa) and Firenze Santa Maria Novella (Florence). You can rent a car from there or arrange for a pick-up service. *Italy is prone to train strikes, please check the train website and the news in the days prior to your travel. By Car: If driving, ensure you get an international driving permit (IDP). Americans can find info at AAA and Australians can find info at the NSW government site. *Some car rental companies may deny car rentals if you do not present a physical IDP at pick-up.
Should I rent a car?

Yes, a rental car will give you the most flexibility to explore the area. Check Avis & Sixt among others. If not renting a car, Villa Lena can help arrange airport pick-ups. There is ample parking at Villa Lena for those driving or renting cars. You can park near your accommodation or the event spaces. Electric cars can be charged at Villa Lena!
Can I bring my kids?

While we adore your children, we’ve opted for an adults-only celebration on our wedding day. This allows everyone to fully relax and enjoy. However, if you have any special circumstances, please do let us know and we’ll try our best to accommodate.
Can I bring a plus-one?

While we love your loved ones too, there are strict capacity restraints at the venue. If this changes, we’ll let you know closer to the date.
When do I need to RSVP by?

Please RSVP no later than April 20th for all events.
What will the weather be like?

Early October in Tuscany usually means sunny days with mild temperatures (60-70°F / 15-28°C). Evenings can get chilly, so bring a jacket for the outdoor festivities.
Do you have a gift registry?

We’re so grateful to already have everything we need, and your presence in our lives is the greatest gift of all—there’s truly no need for anything more. As we’ll be traveling, we kindly ask for no physical gifts. However, if you’d like to contribute to our future together, we’d be incredibly thankful. We’ll have a wishing well available at the wedding for anyone who’d like to contribute.
What is the dress code for the wedding?

We recommend cocktail attire for the wedding day. For the welcome party, we’ll be dressing more casual but still Italian chic. For the recovery breakfast, feel free to dress casually. The temperature dips in the evening and can be temperamental. If the rain holds off we will be outdoors for most of the activities so bring warm clothing. If it rains, we will move indoors.
