FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When should I arrive?
We recommend arriving in Sicily by July 9, 2027, giving you plenty of time to settle in, relax and enjoy the island before the celebrations begin.
Where should I stay?
We recommend staying in Noto so you can be close to the wedding festivities and enjoy the historic centre, its restaurants and cafés. We've put together a list of recommended hotels and nearby towns under our Where to Stay page.
How do I get to Sicily from Montréal?
For guests travelling from Montréal, we recommend looking into Air Canada flights from Montréal to Catania (CTA). Catania Airport is the closest major airport to Noto, approximately a 1-hour drive away. We recommend flying into Catania Fontanarossa Airport (CTA). It is the most convenient airport for reaching Noto. Palermo Airport is another option, although it is considerably farther away.
Do I need to rent a car?
A car is not necessary if you plan to stay in Noto and attend the wedding events. However, we highly recommend renting a car if you'd like to explore the surrounding beaches, towns and countryside at your own pace.
Can I get around without a car?
Yes! If you're staying in the historic centre of Noto, most restaurants, shops and cafés are within walking distance. For beach days and exploring other towns, having a car will make things much easier.
What is the best way to get from the airport to Noto?
You can rent a car directly at Catania Airport or arrange a private transfer. Taxis are also available, but we recommend organizing your transportation ahead of time, especially during the summer months.
Will transportation be provided?
Yes! Transportation will be provided for our wedding celebrations. More details regarding pick-up locations and times will be shared closer to the wedding date.
Can I bring my children?
Of course! Children are more than welcome to join us for our wedding celebration. We would love to have the whole family there!
