Frequently Asked Questions
How do we find the best flights?
Our favorite way to save on flights is to turn on the “price tracker” feature. This is available on most sites like Google Flights and Expedia. You will get a notification when the price increases or decreases!
What about the accommodations?
We will be spending the first night in Palermo, the capital of Sicily!
Check out our stay page for more info on this.
We will then arrange a transfer on Monday morning to our venue. The venue allows us exclusive use of the property - only our family & friends will be staying on property! We are so excited about this special place we know you all will fall in love with.
When should we be there?
On Sunday, September 21st we will have a welcome event in the evening, and the events will continue through the morning of September 24th. Check out our itinerary page for more info.
We then hope you take some time to explore everything Sicily has to offer. Check out our things to do page.
What’s the weather like this time of year?
It is still very much summer in mid-September, so expect warm days with hot sun & cooler evenings where a light jacket or sweater may be necessary.
What should I wear?
The dress codes are as follows
Welcome party: beach chic ~ it’s a yacht party!
The night before: la dolce vita ~ smart chic
Wedding day: formal ~ summer suits & cocktail/long dresses
What about rental cars?
If you fly into Palermo airport, you can taxi to the accommodation at your convenience, and we will have transfers arranged when necessary - you likely will not need a rental car.
Our hotel in Palermo also offers airport transfers for a fee. Please contact them directly.
Palermo region is ~3 hr drive from Catania airport.
We recommend an automatic vehicle if you are not completely comfortable with manual - some roads and parking situations can be a bit questionable!
We previously rented a small SUV, automatic, hybrid for ~250 EUR for a week, which we thought was very reasonable.
Pay attention to where the rental car is picked up from - it may not be IN the airport terminal itself!
Can I take public transportation?
We have not used public transport in Sicily, however there are many trains that can get you where you need to be for reasonable cost!
What about kids?
While we love all your little ones, we want you to relax and enjoy your time in Sicily. Please contact us if this is an issue.
Will I have a plus one?
All guests will be noted on the formal invitations. If you do not have an additional guest, please let us know and we may be able to accommodate depending on availability!
Should I take out cash?
Europe still frequently uses cash, however we do find ourselves using a credit card (with no foreign transaction fees) for most things. We always carry a little cash with us just in case.
