By road & rail
If you'd rather not use the transport we're arranging, we recommend hiring a car. It's the easiest way to reach the Abbey and explore the valley.

Il Luogo
The Abbey
Founded in the eighth century, the Abbazia di San Pietro in Valle sits on the wooded slopes of the Valnerina, the green valley of the river Nera in southern Umbria.
Its Romanesque bell tower, quiet cloisters and frescoed nave have watched over the valley for more than a thousand years. For one weekend, it's ours to share with you.

Good to Know
What is the Abbey's address?
What do I need to pay for?
We'd love you to simply relax and enjoy the weekend with us, so we've taken care of as much as we can. We'll only ask you to cover your travel to Italy and a contribution towards your stay.

What does the £75 cover, and when do I pay?
The £75 per person covers your stay at the Abbey for the entire weekend, from Friday 7 to Sunday 9 April. We'll ask for payment at the time you RSVP, in spring 2027.
When can I RSVP?
RSVPs open in April 2027, alongside the formal invitations. This page will update when they do.
What information will I need to provide when I RSVP?
When you RSVP, we'll ask you to confirm:
- Whether you'll be joining us
- Your food choices for the wedding breakfast, including any dietary requirements
- Your transport preferences
- Your accommodation preferences
What does formal dress code mean?
For the wedding on Saturday we're asking everyone to dress formally. Think smart and elegant, one step down from black tie.
Suits: a tailored suit in a dark or neutral shade, with a shirt and tie. A tuxedo is welcome but not expected.
Dresses: a midi or floor-length dress, an elegant jumpsuit, or smart separates.
Good to know: April evenings in the valley can be cool, so bring a jacket or wrap. The grounds are gravel and stone, so block heels or flats are kinder than stilettos.
Friday's welcome evening is casual, and Sunday morning is relaxed, so wear whatever you're comfortable in.
What will the weather be like?
April in Umbria is springtime: mild days, often around 17–20°C, and cool evenings in the valley. Bring a wrap or jacket for after dark.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Your invitation will be addressed to everyone included. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us directly.
Are children welcome?
We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only occasion. Think of it as a great excuse for a night off!
Do you have a gift registry?
Your presence in Italy is truly the greatest gift. For those who have asked, details of a honeymoon fund will be shared here closer to the time.
Will there be transport?
Yes. We'll share our recommended flights for Friday 7 April once they've been released. Group transport from the airport to the Abbey will be arranged for everyone on those flights, and for anyone else who'd like to be at the airport in time to join it. On Sunday 9 April, transport back to the airport will be arranged for all guests after breakfast. You're also welcome to make your own way there. See Getting There for routes and travel times.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes, there's plenty of parking at the Abbey if you're driving yourself.
