When should I arrive?

We recommend arriving in Pacentro or Sulmona no later than 2:00 PM on Thursday, August 27th.  Of course, arriving in Italy a few days early is a great opportunity to explore and adjust to the time zone.

What will the weather be like?

Italy can be very warm in August.  Pacentro is located in the mountains and can be up to 10 degrees cooler than cities like Rome and Florence.  Daytime temperatures range from 74 to 79 degrees and nighttime temperatures hover around 66 degrees.  That said, it's still summer in Italy.

When should I RSVP?

A final RSVP is due May 15th, 2026.  If we don't hear from you, we will assume you are unable to attend. Though we will miss celebrating with you, we must provide the venues with a final head count.

Can I bring my children?

We love children!  However, due to space limitations, we can only accommodate adults.
