Kate Cheater & Jack Blarr invite you to join them in Tuscany for an intimate three-day gathering in celebration of love, friendship, and the beginning of their next chapter together.

They will be married at Casa Cornacchi, a centuries-old estate tucked quietly into the Tuscan countryside, where stone pathways wind through hidden gardens, late afternoon light lingers a little longer than expected, and life moves at a pace best suited for long meals, full glasses, and unhurried conversation.

Across the experience, they hope to gather the people who know them best to share good food, excellent wine, stories that grow longer as the night does, and the kind of moments that feel effortless but stay with you for years.

This celebration is less about tradition and more about atmosphere. About being somewhere beautiful with people you love, letting time stretch, and marking a beginning in a way that feels deeply personal to them.

Travel details and the full itinerary will be shared soon.

For now, please save the date,
start imagining Italy,
and prepare for an experience designed to unfold slowly and be remembered well.

The Location & Stay

CASA CORNACCHI

Tucked among the rolling hills of Tuscany, Casa Cornacchi is a historic countryside estate surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and winding cypress-lined roads. Golden evenings stretch slowly across the landscape here, and life unfolds at a gentler pace — long meals, open air gatherings, and moments that feel both effortless and deeply memorable.

Once a traditional Tuscan residence, the estate now opens its doors for intimate celebrations, offering a setting where guests can gather, relax, and fully experience the beauty and rhythm of the countryside.

Staying With The Couple

The couple has graciously arranged accommodations for all guests at Casa Cornacchi so that everyone can stay together throughout the wedding experience. Each celebration and gathering will take place across the estate, allowing guests to move easily between events, settle into the surroundings, and spend meaningful time together.

Rooms will be thoughtfully assigned by the couple closer to the wedding date to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone. Guests staying on property will be just steps away from the festivities, making it easy to fully relax and enjoy each moment without needing to travel between locations.

Exploring Alternative Accommodations

While guests are warmly encouraged to stay at Casa Cornacchi to experience the full wedding gathering alongside family and friends, you are absolutely welcome to reserve accommodations elsewhere if you prefer. The surrounding countryside offers a beautiful selection of nearby villas, agriturismos, and boutique stays, each offering its own unique charm and atmosphere.

Guests who choose to stay off-site are very welcome to do so; however, transportation to and from the venue for wedding events will need to be arranged independently. The Tuscan countryside is best explored by car, and we recommend planning transportation in advance if you choose to stay elsewhere.

  • The couple has graciously arranged accommodations for guests at Casa Cornacchi for the wedding weekend. Guests are warmly invited to stay on the estate and enjoy the full Tuscan countryside experience together.

    Should you prefer alternative accommodations, you are of course welcome to make separate arrangements that best suit your travel plans.

  • 🇬🇧 UK Citizens

    • No visa required for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period).

    • Standard Schengen entry rules apply (passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your stay).

    🇺🇸 U.S. Citizens

    • No visa required for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period) for tourism or events.

    🇿🇦 South African Citizens

    • A Schengen visa is required before travel — South African passport holders must apply for and obtain a short-stay visa at an Italian Embassy or Consulate before traveling.

    (Note: Longer stays or other purposes like work/study may require a different visa — check with the Italian embassy.)

    As timing and event details are finalized, they will be updated here.

  • What it is:
    ETIAS stands for European Travel Information and Authorisation System. It is NOT a visa — it’s an online travel authorization similar to the U.S. ESTA that must be completed before travel by citizens who currently don’t need a visa to enter Italy (e.g., UK and U.S. passport holders).

    Who needs it:
    ✔️ Citizens of visa-exempt countries (including UK & US) travelling to Italy/Schengen for up to 90 days.
    ❌ Not required for travelers who already must have a Schengen visa (e.g., South African passport holders).

    When it starts:
    ETIAS is expected to be implemented in the last quarter of 2026 (exact date will be announced ahead of time).

    How it works:

    • Apply online before your trip — the approval is linked to your passport.

    • Fee is expected to be around €20 for most travelers aged 18-70 (children and seniors may be exempt).

    • Valid for up to 3 years or until the passport expires, whichever happens first.

    • Allows multiple short stays (max 90 days in any 180-day period).

    • Even with ETIAS approval, border officials may still ask for proof of onward travel or funds at entry.

    Important: ETIAS does not apply to travelers who already need a visa — they must continue to obtain the correct Schengen visa in advance

  • You can view an overview of the celebration in the Timeline section of this website. The wedding ceremony will take place on October 15, with additional gatherings planned on the surrounding days so that everyone can relax, connect, and fully enjoy the experience in Tuscany.

  • Formal invitations will be sent following your Save the Date and will include all event details, RSVP instructions, and any additional information you may need. We kindly ask that guests respond promptly once invitations are received.

  • The dress code is Semi-Formal Italian Garden.

    Think tailored and effortless. Linen or lightweight suits in warm neutrals, earthy tones, or classic navy. Silk, chiffon, or structured midi dresses in rich, natural hues. Elevated but relaxed — as if you’re attending a sunset celebration at a Tuscan villa.

    For inspiration, imagine:

    • A soft beige linen suit with loafers.

    • A flowing olive or earth-toned dress with gold accents.

    • Polished, breathable fabrics that move beautifully outdoors.

    Evenings in October can be cool, so we recommend bringing a light jacket, wrap, or layer for after sunset.

    Kindly note: no jeans, please.

  • While not required, renting a car is highly recommended if you would like to explore Tuscany independently. The countryside is best experienced by car, and ride-share services are limited in rural areas.

  • Driving in Tuscany is generally very manageable, especially in the countryside. Roads near Casa Cornacchi are paved, scenic, and easy to navigate. We recommend renting a smaller vehicle for easier access through historic towns and narrow village streets.

  • Yes. Google Maps and Apple Maps both work very well throughout Tuscany and surrounding regions.

  • For guests traveling from the United States, an International Driving Permit is recommended and can be easily obtained through AAA prior to travel.

  • Ride-share services are extremely limited in rural Tuscany. Private transfers or rental cars are strongly recommended.

  • Florence Airport is the closest airport to the venue. However, Rome typically offers the widest selection of direct international flights and excellent train connections into Tuscany.

  • Guests can arrange taxis, private drivers, or rental cars from either Montevarchi or Arezzo train stations. Transportation recommendations and coordination details will be shared closer to the wedding date.

  • We recommend arriving at least one to two days before the wedding celebrations to allow time to relax, adjust to the time zone, and enjoy the surrounding countryside.

  • October in Tuscany is mild and beautiful, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 60–72°F (16–22°C). Evenings can be cooler, so we recommend bringing light layers.

  • Yes, highways in Italy frequently include toll roads. Both credit cards and cash are widely accepted.
