We are so excited to invite you to celebrate our wedding in Italy! We will be getting married at Il Borgo di Vignamaggio in Tuscany, Italy, September 4-7. We have included additional information below to help you coordinate your travel decisions.
Accommodations and Reservations
We have reserved rooms for all wedding guests directly at our venue, Il Borgo di Vignamaggio – there is a 3-night minimum stay (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night). We purposefully chose this weekend as Monday is Labor Day, which we hope allows everyone a bit more ease with travel and recovery time! Please book your room directly on our wedding website under the “accommodations” tab.
Flights and Transportation
We recommend flying into the Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR) as this is a 45-minute drive from the wedding venue. We also highly recommend renting a car. The venue is located in the countryside, and while transportation will be provided to and from all wedding events, having a car will allow you to explore the town, visit local attractions, and easily connect with other guests (as some accommodations are slightly spread out). Taxis and private drivers may also be arranged to and from the airport. Alternatively, if you’d prefer a direct flight option from the United States, the Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is a 3-hour drive through the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We’ve traveled both ways – both are equally enjoyable!
The Week Leading Up to The Wedding
The venue will be undergoing preparations. If you arrive early, we recommend exploring Florence – we will provide a list of recommended hotels, restaurants, and attractions below. Alternatively, come visit charming Panzano in Chianti and stay at La Pensione di Vignamaggio, located just five minutes from the wedding venue (part of the same estate).
Tip: If you stay locally, we suggest a reservation at the nearby world-famous butcher’s restaurant, Officina della Bistecca.
