Come join us the day after the wedding at the waterfront! On Saturday afternoon, 1PM - 5PM, we plan to take everybody on a boat ride along the lake that will make stops for gelato, sightseeing, and swimming! Hang out with the newlyweds and everyone else in a relaxed atmosphere.

Pick up will be both in Sirmione and Desenzano at the piers. Guests are welcome to bring any family traveling with them who didn't attend the night before (please indicate in RSVP).

Excited to see you there!

What will the weather be like?
Temperatures in June in Northern Italy are summery warm. Average highs are 27°C (80°F) and lows are 16°C (60°F). It typically remains relatively warm throughout the night and doesn't get super hot during the day.

What is the dress code?
There is no strict dress code, but you should wear what makes you feel elegant. Dress comfortably so you have the freedom to roam the Convento grounds and dance the night away. The weather in Italy will be quite warm in June so keep that in mind if you’re planning on wearing long-sleeved dresses or heavy suits. Part of the wedding will be on forest grounds, so for ladies wearing stiletto heels, heel stoppers might be helpful.

Anything I should remember to bring?
- Beachwear: If you are joining us for the Saturday lakeside activity, bring sandals and beachwear should you feel like jumping into the water.
- Power adapter: For Italy, there are three associated plug types, types C, F and L. Italy operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz. See here for details: Italy power outlet
- Passport: Don't forget your passport! Make sure it is not expired and has some extra pages in the back for immigration stamps.

Where should I book my hotel or Airbnb?
Please book a hotel or Airbnb in either Desenzano or Sirmione. Please see "Travel" and "Hotel" sections for more details. We have shuttles bringing guests to the wedding so finding a place close to the shuttle stop will be the most convenient. 

How do I get to the venue?
With one of our shuttles from Desenzano and Sirmione. We will have multiple shuttles returning back to these towns at the end of the day. If you're staying elsewhere, a taxi might be the best option. Because the venue is on the Lake Garda countryside, we advise against driving on the day of. There is no public transportation to the venue. Furthermore, after a night of festivities, we want people to get to the venue and back safely.

How can I contribute a speech, song, etc. during the wedding?
If you would like to share something with the couple, please email our wedding planners at info@dabweddingevents.com.

How do I prepare for the Saturday lakeside activity?
On Saturday, we are taking guests, their families, and travel companions on a boat ride across the lake for gelato, sightseeing, and swimming for those who'd like.  We'll meet around 1PM at each pier (Desenzano and Sirmione), so please already have brunch/lunch beforehand. We'll return by 5PM. If you'd like to make the  Saturday activity but have to leave before this for a train or flight, let us know, maybe we can figure something out!

Is this a smoke-free event?
Yes! Please, no smoking on the Convento grounds. If you feel the urge to smoke, please do so outside of the Convento gates.

Do you have a registry?
No, since we are in the process of moving cities, we don't have any material needs. Please see under "Gifts" if you'd like to contribute to our honeymoon fund!

Do I need to get a COVID test to enter Italy or re-enter the US?
No you don't need any certificates/testing anymore. 

Do I need to wear a mask?
No, you don't have to wear a mask at the wedding. Please note that in Italy, you may still need to wear a mask on public transportation or certain stores.
