Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to book accommodation?
No – accommodation for the wedding weekend will be organised and covered by us. We will share the exact hotel details closer to the wedding.
What do we need to organise ourselves?
Just your flights, see more info on Travel & Logistics page.
When should we arrive?
We recommend arriving on Thursday 11 June so you can join the welcome dinner and settle in before the wedding. See Travel & Logistics and Wedding Plan page for more details.
Is transport arranged?
Yes, we will organise airport transfers and transport to all events during the weekend.
Can we arrive earlier or stay longer?
Absolutely, you're very welcome to extend your trip if you'd like to explore more of Poland. We will share our itinerary recommendations soon - stay tuned :)
What is the dress code?
The dress code is summer wedding / semi-formal – festive and suitable for dancing. For women, we encourage dresses or jumpsuits in bright, juicy colours – think summer flowers, vibrant greenery, citrus tones.
Please avoid wearing white or very light colours (reserved for the bride) and black (not traditionally worn at weddings).
If you choose to wear heels, you might want to bring comfy shoes to change into as the night goes on — our DJ is booked till 4am with an option to extend :)
What should we bring for the spa and pool day?
Bring swimwear, flip-flops, and maybe a fast drying towel (you'll probably be able to grab a hotel towel / buy one as an alternative). Most saunas in Poland follow European etiquette: adults only, typically silent and often textile-free (but the ones you might encounter during our holiday weekend are swimsuit-on ones).
What will the weather be like?
June is usually warm and summery (20-25°C with occasional 30°C+ heatwave), but evenings can be cooler. A light jacket is recommended.
Will everything be in Polish?
No — the wedding will be fully bilingual, so everyone can follow along and join in. Our vendors speak English, and our celebrant will help with the translation as well. See the Polish Wedding 101 for more information.
Do we need to prepare a speech or toast?
Only if we contact you — we’ll let you know in advance if we’d love for you to prepare a speech or toast, so you’ll have plenty of time to get ready.
Are gifts expected?
Your presence is the most important thing!
For Polish guests, it's traditional to gift Newlyweds envelopes with cash during the "wish line", which forms after the ceremony ends. The wish line is when guests line up to personally congratulate the couple, shake hands, give hugs, and offer gifts. Flowers or wine are also commonly given alongside (there is a big culture of gifting flowers in Poland).
We also have a honeymoon fund you can contribute to, if you wish.
Is tipping expected in Poland?
Tipping is appreciated but optional. In restaurants, around 10% is typical (and usually left in cash, even for card payments). For taxis or ride apps, you can tip in the app if you like.
What currency should we use?
Poland uses Polish złoty (PLN). Nearly all places accept cards and contactless payments, including Apple/Google Pay. We only ever get very small amounts to be able to tip in restaurants.
Do we need a power adapter?
Yes — Poland uses Type E & F plugs with 230V, so if you're coming from the UK, bring a standard European two-pronged adapter.
Will my phone work in Poland?
Yes — Poland is part of the EU roaming zone, so phones generally work if your provider supports EU roaming. Wi-Fi is widely available.
What ride apps work in Poland?
Uber and Bolt work very well and are widely used in all big cities.
Is tap water safe to drink?
Yes — tap water in Poland is safe to drink. However, it's not commonly served in restaurants, and it's usual to instead purchase bottled water.
Do people speak English?
Yes — English is widely spoken among younger people. Hotels, restaurants, and transport services will usually speak at least some English.
Who should we contact if we have more questions now or during the weekend?
Prior to the wedding weekend, you can message us directly.
Once in Poland, you can contact our wedding coordinator, Karolina, Susana (Nat's Maid of Honour), or Tom (Alex's Best Man) — we'll share their contact details (via Whatsapp) closer to the date.
