Why is our wedding on a Monday? We decided to have the wedding on a Monday to accommodate for travel. Guests can fly Friday night or Saturday and not have to miss work or school the previous week. For those that are making a short trip out of this from the United States, you can fly in Friday night or Saturday, and return to the United States on Tuesday. This will require you to only miss work or school Monday and Tuesday. For those that will be extending their trip, you can plan on taking the entire week off.
Is there a dress code? See the itinerary for each event.
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request? Please indicate this in the RSVP.
Do I have to book my stay in Ravello? Nope! You're welcome to book in any of the surrounding towns, such as Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi, etc... Please just keep in mind that traveling between towns can take longer than expected. There are buses and shuttles that run between most of these towns, but please plan ahead! We do strongly urge you to contract our wedding planners as he can guarantee you are close to the venue and all of the action!

Do I need to alert my bank that I will be traveling? Yes. Prior to your departure, notify your issuing bank of the countries you’ll be traveling to and the dates you’ll be at those locations. It’s also a good idea to check with your issuing bank regarding whether your card is subject to daily spending or withdrawal restrictions while abroad.
Adults only? Yes indeed! Our venue and all of our wedding festivities are strictly adults-only.
Even my kid? Yes, even your kid. W
e love your kid! But the Amalfi Coast is a Bottom 10 Destination for Kids Under 10. It is a land of stairs, cliffs, and water, meant to be enjoyed by adults in full vacation mode. Many hotels even have 'No kids under 10' policies to hammer this point home.
We want everyone to relax and enjoy the weekend celebrating with friends and family. Hopefully this gives all of our guests a chance to let loose, and gives the moms and dads a welcomed vacation.
If you've got little ones, we kindly ask that you please plan to leave them at home.

The best places to exchange money are banks or withdrawal from the ATM. Exchange rates are usually worse at the airport, and its best to exchange a small amount of money at the airport to take a taxi. You can also exchange money prior to leaving the U.S. at a bank.
