We recommend flying into Milan via Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). From Milan, it is a little over an hour to Como on Lake Como.

As September is on the cusp of high season on Lake Como we suggest booking your flight and hotel 9-12 months prior to the wedding.

Yes, and make sure it does not expire within 6 months of travel. Currently it is taking longer to receive new passports so we suggest starting the process a year in advance.

We're kicking the week off with Welcome Drinks on Monday and suggest that all guests depart the US on Saturday, arriving in Milan on Sunday. However, if you prefer to arrive Monday or Tuesday, please feel free to do so however you will be responsible for transportation from MXP.

We strongly recommend staying in or near Cernobbio, where the ceremony, reception and surrounding wedding events will take place. While you could stay anywhere in the center part of the lake, such as the other cities of Varenna or Bellagio, you will be responsible for your own transportation to the venues. There are private water taxis for hire around the lake.

Please be sure to inform your cell phone provider that you will be traveling to Italy to avoid any surprise charges. Usually they can provide you with an international day pass option (AT&T and Verizon’s are $10/day for unlimited calls, texts, and data).

75° / 55° - Lake Como enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate with pleasant temperatures and sunshine all year. September is at the end of peak vacation time to travel to the area with hot and sunny weather perfect for lake activities. Bring plenty of swimsuits! The evenings might cool off...we recommend bringing sweaters or shawls. The summer months are humid and have the possibility of rain. Bring an umbrella just in case.

If you are traveling to nearby areas in Italy and Switzerland, we recommend Milan Centrale train station. You can take train trips to Rome (about 3 hours), Venice (about 2.5 hours) as well as Florence, Cinque Terre and many other locations. You can catch a train to Milan Centrale from Como's San Giovanni station.

Please inform your credit card company that you are traveling PRIOR to departing the US - this will prevent it being locked due to fraud speculations. If your credit card comes with no foreign transaction fees, that'll be a HUGE plus! You'll be able to use your card like normal without having the card company charge you a fee or percentage for foreign purchases. We also suggest bringing Euros with you as many taxis and small cafes do not accept cards. You can get these at your local bank or AAA. We suggest doing this before you leave the US as airport currency exchanges usually have significantly worse rates than banks.

Our ceremony and reception is Black Tie - floor-length gowns, tuxes or black suits. We would love if everyone participated in wearing our wedding palette. Wear shoes appropriate for grass, gravel, and that tricky Italian cobblestone. It can get cool at night in Lake Como, so bring a shawl in case you need to cover up.

The boat cruise and dinner is cocktail attire. You will be on the water, so make sure to bring a layer in case it’s cool. Also wear shoes you feel comfortable being on a boat in.

The dress code for the welcome drinks party is lakeside chic. Have fun with it!

The Lido Party will be a pool party so wear your favorite swimsuit, coverup & sunnies!

While we love all of your children, this is an adults only celebration. If you choose to travel with children, you will be responsible for any and all childcare.

Yes, we will provide all transportation for each of our events departing from the center of Cernobbio.

Of course. Lake Como is one of the most beautiful places to capture and one of the reasons we chose it as a location. However, we are asking for our guests to put their phones away during our ceremony.
