Dress code

We would love for you to celebrate with us in style! It would be great if you could come in formal or semi-formal style.

🚫 What to Avoid
We kindly ask that guests avoid casual attire such as jeans, flipflops, and T-shirts.

If you have any questions about the dress code, feel free to reach out to us. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

What else to know

🎉 Planning a surprise or fun activity?

If you'd like to organise a game, performance, or surprise for the wedding couple, please get in touch with the bride’s brother, Stefan Idler, who is kindly coordinating all activities:

👶 For our tiniest guests:
We’ve arranged travel cots in a quiet room adjacent to the dinner and dancefloor so they can snooze peacefully while their parents enjoy the party. 💃🍼

Taxis

As the majority of guests aren’t staying overnight at the hotel, please find arrangements for taxi pickups in the evening:

• Before Midnight: Taxis can be ordered via reception and will arrive at the main entrance.

• After Midnight: We'd prefer taxis (including Ubers) to use the back entrance near the tea and coffee station, to minimise disruption to leisure guests.
