FAQs

Question

What is the plan the day of the wedding?

Answer

Since there is no large bridal party like traditional weddings, all the girls and guys attending are welcome to hang out/get ready with the bride and groom. The bride will get ready in one house and the groom will get ready in a different house. The ceremony starts later in the day (time TBD) and guests are welcome to sleep in, or hang out by the pool.

Question

What is the layout of the venue?

Answer

The Casale de’ Pasquinelli is composed of five houses tastefully furnished and equipped with the services to provide a high level of comfort. Each house has its own garden with a gazebo. There is also a large pool with views of the rolling Tuscan hills. The bride and groom have pre-assigned each guest to a house.

Question

Where is my room at the venue?

Answer

The venue is comprised of 5 houses on the property. Each house has its own garden and gazebo. Room assignments will be assigned in March, and the bride and groom will reach out regarding who is where.

Question

What do I wear to the wedding?

Answer

The wedding is a black-tie event. The bride and groom do NOT expect each male guest to rent or purchase a tux. Guys: a nice suit with or without a tie is completely fine (but if you want to embrace your inner James Bond, go for it!). Ladies: think gala attire. Floor-length or long gowns are preferable and also nice because you can wear gym shoes and no one knows. The venue is mostly outside and there is lots of grass and gravel. (the bride is wearing gym shoes).

Question

What are the bride and groom doing after the wedding?

Answer

Drew and Olivia are departing for Europe May 28th and staying in Lucca for 4 days before the wedding. After the wedding the couple are boarding an 8-night Viking River Cruise that will travel between Switzerland, Germany, and France. After docking the cruise in Amsterdam, the couple will spend 4 days in Belgium before flying home.
