The dresscode for our wedding is Black-Tie Optional. Black-Tie Optional means that you have the option to dress in formal black-tie attire, but it is not mandatory. It's a flexible dress code that allows guests to choose between traditional black-tie attire or elegant formal wear. For men, this typically includes a suit, and/ or a bow tie/ necktie. For women, it usually means wearing a formal evening gown, a cocktail dress, or a chic pantsuit. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and you can decide how formal you'd like to dress, but dressing more formally is always welcomed and appropriate.

The ceremony and reception are going to take place at the Private House Venue of Island Art & Taste. We are looking forward to celebrate our wedding with you at this stunning indoor-outdoor design overlooking the water on the Athens coastline and to dance until the sun rises on the horizon.

Picking up the bride is a cherished Serbian tradition that symbolizes the union of two families. The groom, accompanied by his closest family, and best man, visits the bride's house amidst joyous celebrations with musicians. The tradition of 'buying the bride': In the past, it was customary for the groom's brother to negotiate with the bride's brother. Once an agreement on the 'price' was reached, the bride would step out of her parents' house, prepared for marriage. Today, this tradition has evolved into a playful exchange between the groom's and bride's brothers. Typically, the groom's party brings candy or fake money. If the bride's side is not satisfied, they might humorously present a man or another woman veiled as the bride, leading to laughter all around. When the real bride finally emerges, it's an emotional moment for her, the groom, and their parents.

There are ample parking spaces available free of charge directly across the street from the wedding venue entrance for all guests. If you prefer not to drive after the wedding, you are welcome to leave your vehicle overnight. Taxis can be arranged to safely transport you to your accommodations, and you can retrieve your car from the parking lot the next day. If you choose to park directly at the venue, please be aware that there is a €10 fee.

YES! Children are welcome at our wedding, and we would love to celebrate with you and your little ones! We will have two nannies on-site to take care of and entertain them. They will arrive before dinner and stay for 4 hours. If you have any questions about it, feel free to reach out to Tamara and René.

We would like to invite you to join us in getting ready for the wedding on Sunday, September 1st. As we are having a very international wedding and many guests will be meeting for the first time, we'd like to use this evening to connect over drinks and delicious Greek cuisine. This gathering will provide a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere and make initial connections. It will make the wedding day even more special, as familiar faces will already be present. The event has a casual dress code so everyone can feel comfortable. We are looking forward to a cozy evening with you all!

We want to extend the celebrations with you and continue to enjoy the special day after the official part of the wedding. We invite you to join us at Villa Sophy in a relaxed and casual atmosphere to unwind after our wedding. There will be food and drinks provided. Feel free to bring your swimsuit as we have a pool on-site. Let's create additional memories and share some fun moments together. Cheers!

We will arrive in Vari on Friday, August 30th, and have booked accommodation at Villa Sophy (Athinas 42, Vari 166 72, Greece). We will be staying there until Wednesday, September 4th.

After our stay at Villa Sophy until Wednesday, September 4th, we will be staying in the Vari area until Wednesday, September 11th. If you are staying in Greece for a few more days after our wedding and would like to do something together or spend time, please let us know. We are open to suggestions and would love to spend time with you!
