We want your Italian getaway to be absolutely effortless. Below are essential answers to details regarding logistics, attire, and scheduling.
For the main ceremony on Saturday, the dress code is Formal Luxury (Serif & Editorial style). We kindly ask our guests to explore our custom visual dress code moodboard page (incorporating deep wine, soft cream, and blush velvet tones). Suit jackets and full-length gowns are highly encouraged. For the welcome cocktails, Tuscan smart casual is preferred.
While we adore your little ones, the wedding ceremony and reception at Villa di Maiano will be an adults-only celebration. We want all parents to enjoy a slow, care-free evening of Chianti wine and dancing! If you are traveling with infants, we can coordinate with our boutique hotel concierge to recommend professional, certified English-speaking babysitters in Florence.
Due to the intimate, historic layout capacity limits of the Villa di Maiano ballroom, we are only able to accommodate guests explicitly listed on your physical gold letter envelope invite. If your card is addressed to "Your Name & Guest," you are joyfully welcome to bring a plus-one.
Villa di Maiano is located on the sweeping hills of Fiesole, about a 20-minute drive from central Florence. We will coordinate private luxury coach shuttles departing from our selective hotels (Hotel Brunelleschi, Portrait Firenze, and AdAstra Suites) on Saturday at 3:15 PM CET. Return shuttles will run periodically from 10:00 PM until the final party wrap at 1:00 AM CET.
Our catering team is spearheaded by high-end local Florentine chefs, prepared to satisfy any allergies or restrictions. Please ensure to note your menu preferences and specific dietary requirements on your digital RSVP reply form. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan Tuscan recipes are readily available.
We are having an "unplugged" vow ceremony. We kindly request that you silence and tuck away all mobile devices and personal cameras until the vows are sealed. We have commissioned a team of award-winning photographic storytellers to record the moment, and we will gladly share the high-resolution digital love gallery with you after the celebration! Once the cocktail reception begins in the courtyard, you are welcome to take as many snaps as you wish.
