The Weekend

Welcome to La Dolce Notte. A three-day celebration in the place where we got engaged, laughed, bickered and had the best two weeks of our lives.​​

​

This weekend isn’t about schedules or rules.
It’s about slow food, good wine, late conversations, loud laughter, candlelight, dancing, swimming, resting, and being surrounded by the people who have shaped every version of us. Think less “wedding” and more greatest hits, Sicily edition:
swim, sip, play, reset, dance, repeat.​

Casa La Carrubbazza

In Sicily, between the sea and Mount Etna, there’s a rhythm to life that stretches the day and softens the night. 

​

When it came time to choose where to gather, we looked for a place that could hold that same feeling.

 

Casa La Carrubbazza is a restored 19th-century villa - wrapped in citrus trees and stone walls that have held centuries of Sicilian summers. Warm, worn-in, and quietly spectacular, it felt like the right setting for a long night celebrating together.

​

This gathering has one purpose:
to bring together the people who carried us through eleven years of growing up, moving cities, changing careers, burning dinners, making up, breaking down, finding our feet, losing our minds, and becoming who we are now. We’re planning a weekend shaped by slow food, good wine, late conversations, loud laughter, candlelight, the chaos of dancing, and the deep comfort of being surrounded by the people who have shaped every version of us.

​

We hope you feel the magic of Sicily the way we did - not because it’s perfect, but because it invites you to slow down and be fully yourself.
