What date should I RSVP by?

By end April ideally - No worries if that's not possible, just let us know.

How do I get to the venue?

We will be providing a bus from the city centre to the venue and back (exact location TBC). The bus will aim to get guests on time for the ceremony and back after the end of the evening (~3am). Please let us know in the RSVP if you would like to take the bus. Otherwise, hailing taxis in Madrid is easy - all you need to do is raise your hand. If you would like to book it ahead of time we recommend calling one of the phone numbers on this page: https://www.esmadrid.com/en/madrid-taxi. Finally, for the train lovers the venue has a local train station a short walk away ("Estacion de train de Torrelodones").

I'm driving to the venue, is there a parking nearby?

Yes! The venue has a parking area where you can leave your car for free for the whole duration of the wedding.

Are kids welcome?

Absolutely! Please do bring your little bears along - please make sure you include them when you RSVP so we can cater for them appropriately.

Do you have a registry?

Your presence is the best gift we could receive. However, should you wish to make a contribution towards our honeymoon/house here are our details: Donations in GBP: Sam Ness Sort code: 30-93-55 Account number: 21392368 Donations in EUR: Ana Bernardo Gancedo IBAN: ES2600493768172194043894

Will there be an open bar?

Yes, the open bar will be available for 9 hours from the end of the ceremony (including during the cocktail and dinner). Please feel free to approach any waiter to ask for your drink of choice, incl. wine, beer, champagne, long drinks, soft drinks... There will be lemonade / flavoured water provided upon entry to the venue.

What should I wear?

Please wear whatever you want, but Madrid in August is generally warm so please have that in mind when you choose your outfit. For the gents, we recommend cotton/linen suits or equivalent. However, as the venue is close to the mountains it may get chilly at night (yes, even in the Madrid summer!) so we recommend bringing a jacket to keep warm after sunset. For those wearing high heels, there will be heel protection provided at the entrance to the ceremony to avoid getting stuck in the grass!

What should I bring to Madrid?

We highly recommend wearing sun lotion and sunglasses. We will be providing shade for the key moments during the wedding day but you may be exposed to the sun at times so please do protect yourself! Please note the plugs are different so you will need an EU adaptor to charge your electrical devices.

How can I share my photos/videos with you?

We have a photo sharing gallery organised (already available if you'd like to try it). Please do upload any photos/videos using the link / QR code below. You will also be able to see everyone else's photos including the official photos when they are ready. https://nevermissmoments4.smugmug.com/upload/nMpFdF/Gallery5267
