FAQ

How long you stay with us in Rome is entirely up to you. The wedding ceremony will take place on the 28th of June, with an informal rehearsal dinner on the evening of the 26th. Unless notified otherwise, we have secured accommodation for all those dates and would love to spend the time being with you. We think of this as a chance to spend quality time together, relax and enjoy the Italian sun. We have tried to keep the schedule as light as possible so you can spend the time as you'd like and decompress as if you were on vacation. Of course, if you cannot make it for the entire duration, we completely understand.

Accommodation is covered and secured at our venue, Casale del Gallo for 29 people, and at Aggriturismo Lecanfore for 28 people. Whilst we will be allocating rooms closer to the date, we are likely to house family and friends with children at Casale del Gallo, whilst the majority of our friends at Aggriturismo Lecanfore. If you would like to secure your own accommodation, please let us know in advance. Our current guest count is higher than what can be accommodated by the two venues - if you are impacted by this, we would have reached out to you separately for possible options.

Your RSVP should be submitted by May 15th. You should have received an 'Expression of Initial Interest' form link with the Save the Date message. Please complete this form by February 28th. Your responses to this form are in no way binding nor final. You will receive the final RSVP questionnaire with the formal invitations, which should be sent by May 15th.

We kindly ask for your understanding as our venue has limited space, and we are only able to accommodate those to whom the invitation is addressed. If you would like to bring someone, please confirm with us in advance. Please note that in this case, additional costs for accommodation may need to be covered by you. Thank you for your understanding!

Please refer to our "Travel Tips" page for tips and suggestions from places we visited. Note that in 2025, the Catholic Church celebrates the Jubilee and a large amount of pilgrims will arrive from all over the world throughout the year. As such, we would suggest booking tours and entry tickets much earlier than normally. In general, we are unable to provide further travel tips than what is listed in our Travel Tips section. If you require assistance with booking your tours and getting to the attractions, please let us know in the "Expression For Initial Interest" form, since our host, Giulio, has indicated that they can help arrange sightseeing and visits to attractions.

You may wear whatever you wish to the ceremony and throughout the weekend. We mean it. There are people attending from various backgrounds, and some people will likely dress more formal (aka Denisa's mom) whilst others might choose more casual. If you're in need of specific guidance, we would recommend smart casual, with linen as our suggested fabric.

The weather is typically hot and sunny. Here's what you can expect:
Temperature: Highs around 29-32°C (85-90°F) and lows around 18-21°C (65-70°F).
Humidity: Moderate to high, making it feel warmer, especially in the afternoons.
Rainfall: Generally low, as June is part of Rome's dry summer season.
Sunlight: Long daylight hours (sunrise around 5:30 AM, sunset around 8:45 PM).

We recommend bringing swimsuits to enjoy the accommodation pool, comfortable shoes (the area is mostly grass), sunglasses, sunhats, sunscreen. If you plan to visit the city, you could use a refillable water bottle to make the most of the delicious public drinking fountains. You should also bring a light long-sleeve shirt or shawl for churches, as entry to most religious locations require covered shoulders.

We don't have a registry, instead we ask that you bring your favorite album as a vinyl record as a gift. We will have our vinyl player at the venue so we can enjoy everyone's favorites in the sun throughout the weekend! Feel free to write any messages on the inner liner of the album or slide a sheet of paper in there. Alternatively, if you wish to contribute more we will have an online pot that will be used for other guests' flights, communal activities or the honeymoon.

We are currently working on a method of transportation so that you can move conveniently between Agriturismo Lecanfore and Casale del Gallo. Casale del Gallo is about a 25 minute drive (non-peak hours) away from the city center of Rome and whilst there is no direct public transportation from Casale del Gallo, Uber and other taxi services are available from the house. If you are planning on travelling in Italy before/after the event to locations off the beaten path, we would recommend renting a car. Otherwise, the trains cover all major cities and frequently visited tourist destinations.
