Welcome Party
An Italian market evening: Aperol Spritz, market stalls, music and a first toast
More than six years ago, we fell in love at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Since then, we’ve lived in New York, London, and San Francisco, and made countless memories exploring the world.
Our first vacation, just the two of us, took us to Tuscany. Now we’re bringing our favorite people back to this special place to celebrate the start of a lifetime together.
We know you’re traveling far to be here, and we want to make the most of our time together. We cannot wait to celebrate with you!

A FEW LITTLE DETAILS
We recommend Montalcino or Bosco della Spina, near our planned shuttle pick-ups. We highly recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible. There are no wedding room blocks, so please book your own stay directly; availability may be limited. See our recommended hotels and booking links →
You can book flights once you’ve settled your travel dates. We suggest reserving your stay first: September is high season in Tuscany, and there are no wedding room blocks at the recommended properties.
Florence is our suggested arrival airport. Please arrange flights and airport transfers independently. Read our arrival and transport guidance →
Friday’s wedding is black tie—tuxedos required. Thursday’s welcome party is summer formal: think summer suits and fun dresses. For Saturday’s pool party, come ready to swim with a chic coverup over your swimwear.
We’re keeping the celebration to close family and friends, so we’re unable to accommodate plus-ones. Everyone invited will be named on your save-the-date and invitation.
We’ll keep updating this website as our plans come together, including more wedding details and some of our favorite places to visit nearby.
