Where is the wedding taking place?

Our wedding will take place in Taormina, Sicily, Italy. The civil ceremony will be held at Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano in the city centre of Taormina, followed by a reception at La Plage Resort.

What are the ceremony and reception venues like?

Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano offers a historic setting in the heart of Taormina for a civil ceremony, with a hall and garden available. Our reception will be at La Plage Resort, a five-star seasonal luxury hotel directly on the beach within the protected Isola Bella Nature Reserve.

What are the wedding dates?

Our wedding will take place on 23 August 2027. Travel dates for immediate family will be coordinated by the Groom.

What time should we arrive at the ceremony?

Please arrive 20–30 minutes before the ceremony begins. We will share the ceremony time closer to the wedding.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Yes, you are welcome to bring a plus-one! Please include your plus-one in the total number of guests when you RSVP. Our wedding is an adults-only celebration.

Who will arrange travel for immediate family?

All travel arrangements for immediate family will be organized by the Groom.

What if I need different travel dates or additional travel arrangements?

If you would like to stay longer than 7 days, travel on alternative dates, or require additional travel arrangements, please inform the Groom by 1 January 2027.

Where should I stay?

All accommodation will be booked by the Groom through Airbnb, rather than at the reception venue, La Plage Resort. Accommodation details will be shared once bookings are confirmed.

How long should I plan to stay?

Please plan to stay in Taormina for 7 days. If you would like to stay longer or travel on alternative dates, please inform the Groom by 1 January 2027.

What optional day trips or excursions could we enjoy during our stay?

We do not intend to schedule all 7 days. There will be some required wedding activities, balanced with plenty of free time for everyone to explore, relax, and enjoy their own interests. We may also arrange one or two additional group events, depending on guest interest and whether suitable arrangements can be made; these are not yet confirmed.

What is the dress code?

Our wedding dress code is formal attire. Please keep the hot August weather in mind when choosing your outfits.

What should I wear in Sicily?

Bring lightweight clothing and comfortable footwear for your stay, along with swimwear. Please also pack formal attire for the ceremony and reception.

What should I expect from the weather?

Expect hot weather for our wedding on 23 August 2027. As a guide for this time of year, Taormina’s historical August average temperature is about 27°C (80°F), with average daytime highs of 31°C (87°F) and overnight lows of 22°C (72°F). These are climate averages, not a forecast for the wedding day. Please pack with the heat in mind, and don’t forget your swimwear!

Are children invited?

Our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We kindly ask that children do not attend. Thank you for your understanding.

Will there be vegetarian or special dietary options?

Absolutely! Please let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies for you and your plus-one by the RSVP deadline, April 1st, 2027, so we can accommodate you.

What kind of food will be served?

Get ready to experience the flavours of Sicily! Expect delicious Italian cuisine, local specialties, wonderful wines and plenty of celebration.

Will there be dancing and entertainment?

Absolutely! Bring your dancing shoes. We plan to celebrate in true Italian style, with great music, food, drinks and unforgettable memories.

When should I RSVP by?

Please RSVP by April 1st, 2027, with the total number of guests attending, including yourself and any plus-one, so we can finalize our arrangements. For stays longer than 7 days, alternative travel dates, or additional travel arrangements, please inform the Groom by 1 January 2027

Can I take photographs during the ceremony?

Yes—please take lots of photos! In fact, we insist! Capture the ceremony, reception, your time in Sicily, and even your journey to and from the island. Please be respectful of our official photographer by keeping clear of their shots and not interfering with the official photographs. We will provide all guests with a QR code to upload their pictures, so we can treasure the memories you create throughout this special celebration.

Are wedding gifts expected?

Your presence at our wedding, especially travelling all the way to Sicily, is the greatest gift we could ask for!

Who can I contact if I have questions?

Please contact the Groom about travel and Airbnb accommodation arrangements. For other wedding questions, please reach out to us.
