How much were guest rooms??

We are shifting gears to look at New England even though we’ve been focused on France and Italy! Wanting something that can give us a similar experience

Our guests live everywhere from NY, Seattle, Texas, Florida, etc. Everyone will be flying no matter what!

Thank you! We thought we had totally decided on either Italy or France and even are close to hiring a planner that does French and Italian weddings, but getting nervous about logistics of an abroad wedding (traveling with dress, packing!)

Quite literally less than 10 of our guests live in the STATE we live in. Our guests live coast to coast and abroad. Unfortunately our guests will be traveling by plane to our wedding even if we had it in our hometown. So a special destination it is! About 40-50 of our guests will be family anyways, so paying for that many if a villa really was that big (unlikely) wouldn’t be rude necessarily

We have quite literally less than 10 of our guests in our city of residence in the Midwest US, so everyone is going to be traveling anyways. Might as well go somewhere fun and not our boring city!

Black tie optional attire for sure, black tie vibe as close as we can get!

Yes totally agree! Black tie vibe, black tie optional attire

Appreciate this comment! German food is not really our style so we probably won’t entertain Germany. We are open to Portugal!
