Stay Awhile...
Puglia is full of beautiful towns to stay in - Stay wherever you like.
We’ll see you at the welcome party in Monopoli to kick off the weekend,
then at the ceremony in Monopoli, and finally at the reception in Fasano.
We are arriving in Puglia on Tuesday, September 8th and staying
at Palazzo Mulini in Monopoli. On Friday, we are moving to the venue, Masseria San Nicola, in Fasano with our families for the remainder of the weekend.
September is a popular time in Puglia, so we recommend booking accommodations early. Most hotels are book-now-pay-later, which makes it easy to adjust your plans if needed.
A quick reminder before you book - our celebrations are adults only!

Monopoli
Closest to Welcome Party and Ceremony
For guests who want real small-town Italian charm.
Get lost in cobbled streets, sip in piazzas, eat your weight in local fare,
enjoy the nightlife, and lounge at the beach clubs whenever you feel like it.
Bonus: this is also the town where the ceremony cathedral is located,
so you’ll be just steps from the magic.
I recommend going on sites like Booking.com and Expedia, and use the map view to see hotels near the church!

Before you Ask...
Can my kids come?
While we love your little ones, the welcome party and the wedding are both adult-only.
Where should I Stay?
Feel free to stay where ever you want as there are many beautiful cities in Puglia. We recommend staying in Monopoli, Fasano/Savelletri, or Ostuni.
We will be starting off the week at Palazzo Mulini in Monopoli and then staying at the venue in Fasano/Savelletri.
I found that it was easiest to go on a booking website, like booking.com or Expedia, and view the map to see what was in the area. Monopoli has a lot of great lower costing hotels surrounding the church!
Will there be transportation?
There will be transportation from the Church (Monopoli) to the Venue (Fasano) on the wedding day and return transportation from the Venue (Fasano) to Monopoli after the reception. All other transportation is up to you!
Many sites recommend renting a car in Puglia.
We will not be as we are staying in Monopoli, which has many restaurants/attractions within walking distance.
If you are staying in Fasano/Savelletri or Ostuni, or planning on seeing more of Puglia, you may want to consider renting a car.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Please refer to your invitation. If it mentions a guest, you’re welcome to bring a guest. If not, we’d love to celebrate with just you!
Do I need a visa to travel to Italy?
Good news for u.s. citizens: no visa is required for short-term visits to italy of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
Where will the Bride and Groom be staying?
We will be arriving in Monopoli on Tuesday September 8th, staying at Palazzo Mulini until Friday Septmeber 11th.
We will then be moving to the venue, Masseria San Nicola, in Fasano with our families.
What is happening on Friday?
Friday is your day to explore puglia and relax before the wedding day!
We wanted everyone to have a good time at the welcome party without the stress of a wedding day Hangover.
Explore or Relax, it is up to you!
What should I wear?
Welcome Party - Sunset Cocktail
Sunset cocktail calls for effortless style. Think flowing dresses, refined separates, and chic sandals. For men, a linen button-up with lightweight trousers is ideal. Polished but comfortable, perfect for an Italian evening by the water.
Close to the beach, the evening calls for stylish footwear that’s also practical for a few sandy steps.
Ceremony - Summer Formal (Shoulder covered)
Summer formal calls for elevated elegance with a light touch. Ladies, think long or refined midi dresses in cheerful or seasonal colors (for the church, shoulders must be covered with a light shawl—no need for a separate dress). For the men, suits or tailored separates—no tie required.
Comfortable shoes are recommended for walking on cobblestones.
Reception - Summer Formal
No need for an outfit change, we will head right to the reception from the church!
