Our Wedding

“Years ago at this point, the stars and the planets perfectly aligned in such a way that allowed two formerly separate paths to forever converge into one. That this managed to happen despite being born on opposite sides of the world, raised in separate circles which had no reason to ever overlap, is one of life’s greatest beauties.    Our clandestine meeting happened as many others do in this age—online! Before ever meeting face to face, Andrew and I spent hours chatting online. Our early conversations about music and movies eventually gave way to deeper discussions about our dreams and desires, hopes and fears. On first meeting Andrew, I noted feeling like I already knew him. It was a feeling that I had not experienced before, but even today it is persistent. I often feel like a pane of glass separates my innermost self from the rest of the world, but Andrew stands looking out alongside me instead of opposite me. When we are spending time together I feel more that it’s our inner children who are spending time together. It’s that feeling of peace and unspoken connection that I follow down our path.    People who know me know that my desire for inner peace is paramount, and nobody makes me feel more at peace than Andrew. Even so, I’m never bored when I’m around him because his mind seemingly runs just a touch faster than everyone else’s, and it retains a beautiful and complex archive of niche information that only he could hold all at once. In him I have found a remedy for all my endless curiosity, and he often inspires me in ways he probably doesn’t realize. I never have to explain myself to him because he is keenly observant, even to his detriment. He can read all my expressions. I would say that I suspect someone may have slipped him the key to figuring me out sometime when I wasn’t looking, but knowing him, it’s more probable he found it himself.”   —Emily

Wedding Party

We have kept our guest list small to create an intimate and unforgettable experience with the people we cherish. As such, the bride and groom are pleased to provide accommodations for all guests throughout our wedding weekend. In lieu of sending gifts, we kindly ask guests plan to fund their travel. As we won’t be able to manage or transport gifts during our honeymoon, the greatest gift to us is your presence. For those who would like the option, a secure wedding fund is available via our “Registry” page.

Rooms will be available starting Friday, April 3rd, 2026, with checkout on Monday, April 6th, 2026. For tips on booking flights, transportation, or accommodations before or after the weekend, please refer to the “Travel” section. We will continue to update the website with information. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist with your travel plans.

Residence U Mecenáše is located just a few minutes' walk from the Vrtba Garden, where our ceremony will be held. Following the ceremony, guests will enjoy cocktail hour and a formal dinner at the Refectory Bar at Augustine Hotel. Transportation will be arranged. We will provide updates in the applicable sections as plans are finalized. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Pertinent Information

A selection of apartments will be reserved by the bride and groom according to RSVPs. Room assignments will be communicated in advance.

The family residence and restaurant U Mecenáše is located in the house U Zlatého lvá (The House of the Golden Lion) on the most beautiful tourist route in Prague, known as the Royal Route. Coronation processions of Czech kings have passed through this route for centuries. The residence, built on Gothic basements and dating from 1608, is the only Renaissance building in Lesser Town Square that has been preserved in its core. Behind its historic walls, it hides a family residence with 9 new apartments and a newly renovated restaurant serving excellent Czech cuisine. The charming family residence and restaurant is located just a 2-minute walk from Charles Bridge and offers a magnificent view of Prague Castle and the neighboring Church of St. Nicholas, which is considered the most important Baroque building in Prague.

Guests may also arrange their own accommodation, if preferred. There are a number of boutique hotels and AirBnBs located nearby.

Recommended nearby...

We had a wonderful experience staying here while on our wedding planning trip in 2025. The botel offers a range of rooms at different price points, and the attached restaurant has equally incredible food and service. We recommend requesting a room with river views!

The Jewish Quarter (Josefov) in Prague is located between the Old Town Square and the Vltava River. While there is evidence for early 10th century settlement of the area, the torrid history of the former Jewish Ghetto began in the 13th century, when Jewish people were ordered to vacate their disparate homes and settle in this one part of town. Over the centuries, with Jews banned from living elsewhere in Prague, and with new arrivals expelled from Moravia, Germany, Austria and Spain joining them, ever more people crowded in to the quarter. The Jewish Quarter has: six synagogues, including the Spanish Synagogue, Maisel Synagogue and the Old-New Synagogue; the Jewish Ceremonial Hall; and the remarkable Old Jewish Cemetery. The Jewish Quarter is also the birthplace of the celebrated Jewish novelist Franz Kafka, who is commemorated with a statue on Dusni street.

Located in a beautiful town called Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic, the Sedlec Ossuary is a tiny Roman Catholic chapel. It is beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in the suburb of Sedlec. It is famous because it contains the skeletons of 40,000-70,000 people – the chapel is entirely decorated with human bones. These have been arranged in various macabre ways.

The Klementinum is Pragues second-largest building complex after Prague Castle and houses one of the most beautiful libraries in the world.

We also recommend a walk through the Royal Garden, where, in addition to many charming corners, you will also come across Renaissance gems – the Ballroom and Queen Anne's Summer Palace, also known as the Belvedere.

The largest castle complex not only here, but also in the world, forms an unmistakable panorama of Prague. Walk through the castle courtyards, see the Old Royal Palace, visit the Cathedral of St. Vitus, Wenceslas and Vojtěch and the Basilica of St. George or the picturesque Zlatá ulička. Prague Castle was founded in the 9th century and has been a symbol of the Czech state for more than a thousand years. It became the residence of Czech kings and later presidents.

Things to Do

For those who do not yet have a passport, note that it usually takes at least 6 months to complete the process for obtaining one. <a href="https://www.usps.com/international/passports.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You can fill out an application here</a>! If you have had a passport for a while, make sure to check the expiration date 😉

For Maine guests:  Logan International Airport in Boston is in our experience, the cheapest and easiest airport to fly out of. You can take a Concord Coach bus from Portland, ME directly to Logan for $61 roundtrip. Station parking is $5.50/day and it's secure. We highly recommend carpooling where possible to limit the amount of vehicles to be accounted for.  You can also fly out of Portland (PWM). While this option may be more convenient for some, flights from Portland tend to be pricier with more layovers.

If you plan to do a lot of sight-seeing while in Prague, the <a href="https://prague-card.com/prague-visitor-pass" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prague Visitor Pass</a> is a good value. A 48 Hr Pass is $100 and includes admission to more than 70 museums and attractions in Prague including Prague Castle, the Royal Gardens, the Klementinum, Jewish Quarter, and Old Town Hall / The Astronomical Clock. The pass also includes unlimited public transportation for the active period! Your Pass serves as a public transport ticket for the metro, trams, buses, the Petřín funicular and ferries.
