• Please ensure to join the Whatsapp group before leaving for Italy. This is how we will communicate the most up to date information during the wedding weekend.

• The property includes a mix of grass and gravel pathways, so we recommend comfortable footwear. If you’re wearing heels, wider styles will be best for walking safely and easily.

• Late August in Italy tends to be hot. Friday is mostly indoors, while Saturday and Sunday will be outdoors. Evenings can feel cool even after warm, sunny days, so we suggest bringing a light jacket or wrap.

• Electrical outlets in Italy are different from those at home—please remember to bring a travel adapter.

• Most hair tools from the U.S. are not compatible with local voltage. If you plan to bring styling tools, make sure they are dual-voltage or consider purchasing one designed for international use.

Kristian and Sanjna both share a passion for travel, great food & wine, cultural immersion, being outdoors, and spending quality time with the people most important to them. Kristian’s grandfather, Papa Gary, who is very dear to him, has a timeshare in Tuscany, so the region carries a special place in his heart. During his time in the UK, Kristian also took two separate trips to Italy, with Florence being the favorite city he visited. Sanj’s all time favorite trip with her sister & MOH Meghna, was to Florence and Tuscany in 2021 (fun fact, they even crashed an Italian wedding while there and were warmed by how welcoming the Italian community was). Therefore, it was an easy decision to spend the most important weekend of their lives in Florence and Tuscan countryside!

How will we communicate about events during the wedding weekend?

We will use Whatsapp to communicate. Please join the Whatsapp group before leaving for Italy and check it regularly as the most up to date information will be there. We will create this group a few months before the wedding once the RSVPs are finalized.

Do I have to go to every event?

No. While we encourage you come to all four events to experience everything we have carefully curated, we understand if you cannot make them all. We ask that you please let us know on the RSVPs as you can choose your RSVP for each event separately.

When do we RSVP?

The formal invites will go out late December or early January. We ask that you RSVP by May 1st, 2027. If you already know that you will likely not be able to make the wedding please kindly let us know before formal invites go out.

What will the weather be like?

Hot and gorgeous during the day! Late August in Tuscany typically means sunny days around 88–95°F (31–35°C), warm evenings in the 70s°F (low-to-mid 20s°C), and (hopefully) very little rain. Evening events cool down very nicely, but daytime events will be warm. Dress light, hydrate, and bring sunglasses.

Is there A/C in the venues & accomodations?

Yes! In all the ones we have listed and the venues there is A/C. If you choose to book different accommodation, make sure there is A/C as it is not always a given in Europe.

Which events are indoors vs outdoors?

Friday events are indoors. The Baraat will be outdoors but we will be indoors shortly for the evening. Saturday and Sunday are outdoor events.

What's the currency?

The euro. Cards are widely accepted, but carry some cash, small businesses, taxis, and rural spots sometimes prefer it. You can withdraw it at ATMS in the city using a debit card or bring euros before leaving.

Do I need to tip?

Not the way you would at home. Service is often included (look for coperto or servizio on the bill). Rounding up or leaving a few euros for excellent service is appreciated but never expected.

Will my phone work?

Check with your carrier about an international plan, or pick up an eSIM before you fly, it is usually cheaper and easier than roaming.

Do I need to speak Italian?

No. English is widely spoken in Florence and at the venues. That said, buongiorno and grazie will carry you a long way.

What's the plug situation?

Italy uses 230V with Type C, F, and L outlets. Bring an adapter, and if you're bringing anything that heats up, like a hair tool, check that it's dual-voltage.

Can I bring my kids?

As much as we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope the advance notice means you can arrange care and enjoy a weekend off in Italy!

Is there childcare available?

We aren't organizing childcare, but if enough families are interested we're happy to help connect you so you can arrange something together. Let us know.

Is my plus-one invited?

Due to venue capacity, we're only able to accommodate the guests named on your invitation. Your invitation and RSVP will reflect exactly who is included. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Invitations will be sent out end of December and please respond by March!

I am traveling alone. Can you connect me with other guests?

Yes! Please reach out to us. We hope our friends and family intermingle! We would be happy to introduce you to other guests to travel and stay with.

I have a dietary restriction or allergies. Who do I tell?

Let us know when you RSVP there will be a field for it.

Will there be vegetarian food?

Yes, plenty, across all three days.
