Croatian Wedding Details

Attire

Attire is formal but comfortable — September in Croatia is usually warm, so please don’t feel obliged to wear a three-piece suit; lightweight suits or elegant summer dresses are all perfectly appropriate.


As our ceremony will take place in a Catholic church, we kindly encourage guests to choose attire that is respectful of the setting. Pieces such as shawls, wraps, or cover-ups are warmly welcomed during the church ceremony.

Kids

Children are welcome! The venue will have a kids' corner with entertainers, face painting and games so parents can enjoy their meal and the dance floor.


To help us plan, please indicate on your RSVP whether you will be bringing children and how many.

CHURCH

It would make us happy to see as see as many of our guests as possible attending the mass.


The sacrament of marriage and the church hold a special place in our hearts; we are getting married in the church Ivana grew up in (the bride's church being a Croatian wedding tradition) and where we regularly attend Sunday mass. The church choir Hrid ('the Rock'), which Ivana is a member of, will contribute to making the ceremony a one to remember.


In the Catholic Tradition, we receive Holy Eucharist. Only take the Eucharist if you are permitted to by the Catholic Church ( i.e baptised persons who are Catholic or Orthodox who are in the state of grace)


In order to warm up (our voices, of course) there will a welcome gathering before the church ceremony.

Transportation

The church is in Zagreb (our neighborhood Maksimir) and the reception venue is on the outskirts of Zagreb.

Please allow 45 minutes by car between the two locations (especially for the return after the party).


If you would like a ride from the church to the reception venue, please indicate this on your RSVP.
