The more you prepare, the less they’ll panic at the airport. 

Planning a destination wedding in Italy means planning for more than just your own big day—it means helping your guests have a stress-free journey, too. While Italy is an exciting and accessible destination from the UK, it’s still another country, another system, and often another language. 

Here’s how to help your guests arrive calm, collected, and ready to raise a glass. 

1. Start with a Travel Snapshot 

Your guests aren’t wedding planners—so don’t assume they’ll know the best route to your remote Tuscan borgo. 

Give them: 

• Nearest airports (with flight suggestions if possible, some guests may want to start the celebrations in the Departure Lounge!)  
• Transfer times and methods (train, taxi, car hire) 
• Any “do not fly to this airport” advice (trust us, it happens) 

Pro Tip: Include this info on your eJuno Wedding Website under a “Getting There” tab. 

2. Map Out Key Dates 

Help guests feel in control by sharing: 

• Recommended arrival date (especially if events start before the ceremony) 
• Check-in/check-out times for shared accommodation 
• Ideal return date (so no one misses the farewell brunch) 

A sample timeline builds confidence—especially for guests who don’t travel often. 

3. Group Accommodation? Clarify Early. 

If you’ve reserved a villa or guesthouse: 

• Let guests know how many nights are included 
• Whether rooms are private, shared, or rotating 
• What’s included (e.g. breakfast, pool, housekeeping) 

Setting expectations avoids awkward conversations later—and helps everyone pack properly. 

4. Offer Support with Transfers 

Hiring a coach from the airport? Organising shared taxis from the train station? 

Let guests know: 

• Who to contact on arrival 
• Exact meeting points (terminals, signage, etc.) 
• Whether local drivers speak English 

Even if guests arrange their own transport, providing rough costs and links to local taxi services is a huge help. 

5. Share Local Travel Tips 

A short FAQ goes a long way. Include: 

• Can you drink the tap water? (Usually yes!) 
• Are taxis easy to find? (Often no.) 
• Do you need a hire car? (It depends.) 
• Are there Uber or Bolt options? (Rare outside major cities.) 
• Is Google Maps reliable? (Mostly, but bring a backup.) 

Tip: You can add this as a downloadable PDF or guest FAQ on your eJuno dashboard. 

6. Help Them Pack Smart 

Make it easier with a pre-departure checklist. Mention: 

• Heat-friendly formalwear (linen shirts, breathable fabrics) 
• Flat shoes for cobblestones 
• EU plug adaptors 
• Swimsuits (for the villa/pool party) 
• SPF (always!) 
• Sunglasses 

Final Thought 

Guests remember how a wedding made them feel. If the journey is stressful, it lingers. But if it’s smooth, clear, and sprinkled with Aperol along the way? They’ll be talking about it for years. 

With a little prep—and the right digital tools—you can help your guests arrive not just on time, but already smiling.
