FAQs
Please include them when you RSVP and be specific. Our chef takes dietary needs very seriously and will prepare accordingly, but the more detail you give, the better. If you have a complex allergy or restriction, reach out and we'll connect you directly with the chef.
HOW DO I RSVP?
Head to zola.com/wedding/reillyanddanny to RSVP. Please do so by August 14. We need the headcount for the wine order and that is not a joke.
CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?
To keep things intimate (and the wine bill manageable), we can only accommodate guests listed on your invitation. We hope you understand, and we truly cannot wait to celebrate with everyone who's there. ♡ Ping us with any questions!
WHAT IS THE ATTIRE?
WHAT IF I HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS?
If you're coming straight to Bordeaux: fly into BOD (Bordeaux–Mérignac). If you're spending time in Paris first, fly into CDG or ORY and take the train to Bordeaux — about 2 hours, very easy, highly recommended over driving.
See our Travel page for the full breakdown.
WHAT AIRPORT SHOULD I FLY INTO?
We recommend it for the most flexibility — wine country is best explored on your own schedule. That said, we will be providing complimentary shuttles between Saint-Émilion and the wedding venues, so you won't be left stranded if you go carless. Rideshares are limited out here, so if you're not renting a car, plan ahead and book taxis in advance.
DO I NEED TO RENT A CAR?
Yes! Complimentary shuttles will run from Saint-Émilion to both the Friday and Saturday venues. Full shuttle details (times, pickup points) will be shared closer to the date.
WILL THERE BE TRANSPORTATION TO THE VENUES?
You'll choose from meat, fish, or vegetarian when you RSVP. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please note them in detail in your RSVP — our chef takes this very seriously and will make sure you're well taken care of. If your needs are complex, we're happy to connect you directly with the chef. Just let us know.
WHAT ARE THE WEDDING DINNER MEAL OPTIONS?
Friday (Welcome Party at Château de Sanse): Colorful garden cocktail. Think springy, festive, fun. The more color the better.
​
Saturday (Wedding at Château Soulac): Black tie optional, but we prefer to call it French chic. Dress up, go for it, wear color, look incredible.
Oui. France uses Type C/E plugs and 220V electricity. Most modern electronics are dual-voltage (look for "100–240V" printed on the plug or adapter) — if that's the case, you just need a plug adapter, which are cheap and easy to find before you travel. Pick one up before you leave; the airport markup is très douloureux.
DO I NEED A PLUG ADAPTER?
For exploring Saint-Émilion village, something you can walk cobblestones in comfortably. For Friday and Saturday events, sky's the limit with one heads-up: the ceremony is outdoors on vineyard grounds (think grass and gravel).
WHAT SHOES SHOULD I WEAR?
The regional train from Bordeaux Saint-Jean station to Saint-Émilion runs regularly and takes about 30 minutes. It's a lovely ride through the vineyards.
One thing to know: the Saint-Émilion train station is at the bottom of the hill, and the town center is a bit of a walk up. We'd recommend booking a taxi in advance to meet you at the station, or checking with your hotel ahead of time — many can arrange a pickup. Don't assume a cab will just be waiting there.
