Join us for a Catholic Mass in the Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia: a 16th-century sanctuary steps from St. Peter's, and the very church where Sara's parents were married.
The Reception
After the ceremony, we invite you to join us at the Rome Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria for the reception. We will begin with drinks and appetizers, followed by dinner, and continue the evening with music and dancing into the night.
