Q + A
What is The Dress Code?
Hopefully it is a favorite store of yours (winky face). The Dress Code for The Wedding and Reception immediately following is Black Tie Optional. It is an elegant venue and will be outdoors weather permitting and indoors within a stone's throw if need be. The color theme is pastels in any color.
What will the weather be like in Portofino?
The average high temperature is 76 degrees Farenheit and the avarage low is 66 degrees. Average rainy days for the month of June is 4 days. UV sun ray index averages 6. Average water temperatures range from 66 to 77. In June, Portofino is moderately humid with an average amount 71% (relative humidity), which could be described as humid but cool. A light sweater is never a bad idea for the evenings on the water.
Days are usually very sunny with low humidity to warm.
What shoes should I wear?
Portofino is a walking village with hills and cobblestones. The wedding venue property has steps and grass, cobblestones, and areas not well suited for spiked high heels. We recommend comfortable shoes over stilletos. But if you need a heel, perhaps opt for a sturdier heel and your dancing shoes!
Where should I stay?
We have listed several hotels with different price points. Italy especially in summer has become VERY popular, so we recommend booking all your travel and accommodations and airfare as soon as possible! Portofino is a small village within a small seaside area called Liguria that books up very quickly. We could only block rooms in one of all the hotels which is Hotel Regina (Best Western) and there are 23 blocked rooms under Capps-Gleason Wedding.
Is there transportation from the hotels to the wedding site La Cervara?
Yes, there will be transportation from the area hotels to La Cervara as it is a gated private property only open to our guests. They do not allow private cars to be parked on property so we must arrange for you to shuttle in. Please advise us of your accommodation so that we can help with transportation to arrive to pick you up and take you to the wedding and they will drop you off after it ends.
Can I bring my children to the wedding?
Although we love all of your children very much, unfortunately, we have a limited number of people for this venue and we have reached our maximum number knowing most of who is able to attend. We hope you will understand.
Can I bring a Plus One?
Because of the limit, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation. Again, we hope you understand.
When do I need to RSVP by and how?
There is an RSVP link on our website. We will greatly appreciate your response as soon as you know, but please RSVP ON OR BEFORE March 21, 2025, which is 90 days before the wedding. If you are unsure or something changes, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Do you have a Wedding Hashtag?
Yes! Our wedding Hash tag is ... who can come up with the best one to use? TBD!
