Annie & Michael's Wedding

Each event has its own dress code. The Welcome Dinner is smart casual — think elegant separates, midi dresses for ladies and dress trousers and a collared shirt or blazer for gentlemen. The Wedding is black tie optional — long gowns and tuxedos are always wonderful, though dark suits and formal separates are equally welcome. The Farewell Brunch is casual — come as you are and enjoy the morning in comfort. A note on footwear: the wedding ceremony is outdoors on grass, so block heels or heel stoppers are highly recommended. The reception will also be held outdoors, so do plan accordingly.

Due to the intimate size of both venues, we're only able to accommodate guests named on the invitation. If you have any questions, please reach out directly and we'll do our best to help.

Yes, children are very welcome — we'd love to have your little ones join us! Please just let us know when you RSVP so we can make sure we're well prepared for all our guests, big and small.

Lake Como in early October is typically mild and beautiful — expect around 15–20°C during the day, dropping to 10–12°C in the evenings. A wrap or shawl for after dinner is a very good idea.

Guests staying at Relais Villa Vittoria (our organised accommodation) are in luck — the wedding venue is just a one-minute walk away. If you've chosen to book your own accommodation, you'll need to arrange your own transport to Villa Regina Teodolinda. We recommend booking a private transfer in advance, as taxis can be limited in the area. More details will be shared via the group chat closer to the date.

Please RSVP by Sunday 19th July 2026 . Please include details of your dietary requirements and any access or mobility needs so we can plan accordingly.

Your presence in Italy with us is truly the greatest gift. That said, if you'd like to give something, we do have a a honeymoon fund to help us celebrate our first adventures as a married couple. Visit the Registry page for all the details. No gift is ever expected, and please don't feel any obligation at all.

Yes, please do! We'd absolutely love to see your photos and videos if you're happy to take them — feel free to share anything you capture over the weekend. That said, there will be certain moments during the ceremony where we'd love guests to be fully present, and we'll gently let you know on the day when those times are. Outside of those moments, phones and cameras are very much welcome. Our photographer will be capturing everything beautifully throughout.

We're so excited about this one! On the wedding day, we'll be hosting an optional one-hour boat ride around Lake Como, departing from Relais Villa Vittoria at approximately 1:30 pm and arriving back before the ceremony commences at 3 pm — a rather beautiful way to make an entrance.

Our vessel is the "Freccia dell'Isola" and has an al fresco and covered seating area. Please note that there will be no alcohol or smoking permitted on the boat ride.

As for the water conditions — Lake Como in early October is generally calm, however there may be some windy days causing choppier waters. If you're prone to motion sickness, we'd suggest bringing suitable medication. In the unlikely event of poor weather conditions, the boat trip will be cancelled.

Please do let us know on your RSVP if you'd like to join so we can make sure we have the right capacity planned.
