Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know
(hopefully)

If we missed anything here, please message us.

RSVP

Please RSVP by 1 November 2026 — that’s the last day to send or update your details. We book and pay for rooms in advance, so the form closes after that and we won’t be able to make changes online. You can revisit your invitation link any time before then to update dietary needs, travel, room or notes — but who’s attending is locked in once you’ve confirmed, so just message us directly for anything to do with that.

Arrival & Departure

Check-in opens at 2.30pm on 2 May — we’d love for you to arrive then, settle into your room, and enjoy a bit of the castle before the pizza party kicks off at 6pm.

By 10am on 4 May.

The castle is ours exclusively for the wedding dates only, so it’s not possible to extend there. We’d love for you to make a proper holiday of the trip before or after — just make sure you’re checked in from 2.30pm on the 2nd and checked out by 10am on the 4th.

Travel

Rome or Perugia both work well — we’re arranging shuttles from both on arrival day. There are other airports within driving distance as well: Rimini, Ancona and Florence.

Shuttles run on arrival day only. We’ll share local taxi numbers for Perugia airport closer to the time. For Rome or anywhere else, you’ll need to arrange your own transport.

Only if you’re planning to explore beyond the wedding weekend — genuinely the easiest way to see the wider region, but not essential if you’re just here for the wedding and flying to and from Perugia.

Let us know via the RSVP or message us directly and we’ll share the exact address — we’re keeping the location a surprise for everyone else!

Dress Code & Weather

Flowy floral/summer party wear for the pizza party on the 2nd; swimwear and something comfortable for the pool and castle activity the next morning; formal earthy-colours (floaty dresses or linen suits) for the ceremony, dinner and dancing on the 3rd; and casual travel clothes for departure.

Expect mild, sunny days (21–23°C) and cooler evenings (10–11°C) — worth packing a light layer. It’s Umbria in spring, so the odd shower isn’t out of the question.

Children & Plus-Ones

Yes — please let us know via the RSVP if we haven’t already added them. We’re arranging babysitters for the ceremony, and likely for dinner too, so parents can relax and properly enjoy the evening.

We’re not able to accommodate plus-ones unfortunately. The only exceptions: if we’ve missed one of your children off the RSVP, or you’re not sure whether your partner’s included — just let us know directly and we’ll sort it.

Gifts

Making the trip to be with us is the most wonderful gift we could receive, and we don’t expect anything else. That said, for friends and family who’ve kindly asked, we’ve put together a small registry of things we’re slowly building our home around — no pressure, no expectation. See the gift registry page.

Costs

The shuttle transfer, pizza party and the wedding day itself are all covered. You’ll need to budget for the room, for lunch on the 3rd and any morning activity we may arrange — details to follow.

Accessibility

We can accommodate most accessibility needs — just let us know via the RSVP and we’ll make sure everything’s arranged.
