Question
What should I wear to the wedding?
Answer
Be sure to dress for the weather of the month of May in Lake Como; Typically it is mid to high 60's to 70 degrees. Being on the water, the sun and breeze will be comfortable during the day, and colder at night so dress accordingly. For the women, a dress with a shawl to put on if it as gets chilly, long sleeve dress or a jumpsuit. For the men, a jacket or long sleeve collared shirt with dress pants is perfect. If you’re unsure what to wear, be sure to ask us for suggestions.
Question
What if I run into problems?
Answer
The best thing to do if you run into room or flight issues is to reach out to our wedding planners! They are available by phone or email.
Question
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be outdoors in the loggia terrace at the Villa but it is covered. The cocktail hour will be outdoors and the reception will be indoors with outdoor access and plenty of open doors/windows. It is best to dress accordingly as it may get chilly. See "What should I wear" above.

The flowers are in full bloom and these colors will compliment the landscape beautifully :)
