FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What should we know before we go?

For brides, light, breathable fabrics like silk, chiffon, or lace are perfect for the climate. If you’re wearing a long dress for your Matera wedding, consider how it will move across cobblestone paths or grassy areas at masserie or other venues.

For grooms, lightweight suits or linen options are ideal for the warmer weather, ensuring comfort throughout your wedding ceremony and reception.

Italians tend to eat dinner later, with receptions typically starting around 7–8 PM and dinner served around 9 PM or later. Plan accordingly, especially if you’re traveling across time zones.

While many people in Puglia speak English, learning a few Italian phrases like “Ciao” (Hello), “Grazie” (Thank you), and “Buongiorno” (Good morning) can be very helpful and appreciated.

When preparing for your wedding ceremony and wedding location in Italy, make sure to visit the venue beforehand—whether it’s an outdoor ceremony or inside a traditional Sassi di Matera—to get a feel for the surroundings. While Matera is usually sunny, have a backup plan in case of unexpected rain. Many structures offer beautiful indoor spaces that can provide a charming and intimate alternative.

For guests, although Matera offers a casual atmosphere, they should still dress appropriately for your wedding location in Italy. Semi-formal or cocktail attire is ideal, especially for evening events. For outdoor weddings, comfortable yet elegant options are recommended.

Planning your elopement is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and with proper preparation, it will be a celebration of love, culture, and breathtaking surroundings.

Coordinate with local vendors, such as florists, photographers, and hairstylists, as they are experienced with weddings in the area and can guide you through every step of your wedding.

Be sure to communicate your vision well in advance. Puglia operates on Central European Time (CET), so adjust your schedules accordingly, especially when coordinating with international guests. Lastly, consider purchasing travel insurance to cover any unexpected changes or delays, ensuring a smooth Matera wedding experience.
