FAQs

Shuttles

For guests staying at the hotels in Stresa, we'll provide shuttles to the venue on the wedding day and back to Stresa at the end of the night. The shuttle picks up at the Grand Hotel des Îles Borromées at 4:30 PM — please be there by 4:30 so you don't miss it. See pickup location →

Attire

Italian Riviera Chic (Summer Cocktail Attire)

Think colorful, elegant, and effortlessly polished—light fabrics, warm-weather silhouettes, and a touch of glamour fit the lakeside setting perfectly. Choose shoes you can wear on grass and gravel, and bring a light layer for the evening breeze off the lake.

Are children allowed?

While children are not invited to the wedding celebration, we know many of you may be traveling with kids. We're happy to help coordinate childcare by sharing a list of vetted, local babysitters in the area.

Weather

July is typically warm, but Verbania can experience occasional rainstorms. We recommend packing light layers and being prepared for a mix of sunshine and summer showers.

Where else to explore?

Lake Maggiore stretches all the way into Switzerland and is easily accessible by car or ferry, perfect for a day trip!

There's so much of Italy to explore and all spots are just a train ride or short flight away. For nearby trips, we especially recommend Cinque Terre, Santa Margherita, and Portofino for their seaside views and delicious eats.
