Saturday, April 3 - Wedding Day!

- 5:00pm - Ceremony Starts
- Reception follows.





The wedding will be taking place in the small village of Artimino, just outside Florence. Everyone will be staying at Hotel Paggeria Medicia, where the reception will take place in one of the restaruants. The wedding will be at 5 o'clock on Saturday 3rd in the Church of San Leonardo.

Rooms are reserved at the hotel for Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd. There are private rooms and 2-3 bedroom apartments. Depending how it many people rsvp, there may be some shuffling of reservations. All room assignments will be coordinated before hand and settled upon arrival by each party.

Artimino is about 20 km outside of Florence. We recommend renting a car in Florence. There is a Hertz which will be one source, there may be others. There is also a bus that can take a larger group of guests to the village. We will book this once we have a definite guest list.

Here are some links to the wedding location:

Directions to Artimino






Florence is the nearest city to Artimino, so it will serve as HQ. We've picked up from monitoring chatter that everyone will be in Florence on Thursday 1st. We're are going to plan on some kind of group dinner that night, loosen everyone up and hit the town.

Here are a few suggestions for hotels given to us:
Hotel Della Signoria - A good hotel, recommended by our planner. It is very close to the Uffizi Gallery.
Hotel Goldnini - The extended Bernard family will be here.
Hotel Cavour - This is where we will be encamped.
