Frequently Asked Questions

There is a (suggested) semi-formal dress code for the rehearsal dinner and a formal dress code for the marriage ceremony and reception. Guests are welcome to wear anything comfortable for the rest of the week, keeping in mind the likely hot temperatures! Feel free to take a look at the inspo board for ideas regarding color scheme and overall vibe - festive, over the top, fun outfits are absolutely encouraged. Don't feel the need to match specific dress code rules, like wearing a tie, heels, etc. We want everyone to have fun, feel fun, and look fun!

Yes! Mimi and Artur would love for any little ones to join us on such a happy occasion and we will ensure there are plenty of kid-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy together. On-site childcare will not be provided, but we expect there will be plenty of family members happy to help.

The South-West of France will be hot during the wedding week, with highs of up to 95 degrees F / 35 degrees C. Please hydrate throughout the week and bring lightweight clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat! The chateau itself is air conditioned, and the pool will be open to all guests throughout the week.

You can find the week-long celebration itinerary on this website, under "Events". We know that not everyone will be able to join us for the entire week, or every event, so please consider all activities optional/available for those interested.

All dinners will be lovingly organized by Mimi and Artur. For breakfast, lunch, and snacks, we will make sure the chateau is fully stocked with groceries for all our guests to pop in and throw together a sandwich, grab a croissant, or whip up some porridge (including those who may be staying somewhere else!). For anything else guests may need, there is a small village less than a fifteen minute walk away from the chateau - complete with a grocery store, boulangerie, pharmacy, patisserie, restaurant, and other basic necessities. Alcohol apart from the wedding night itself will be BYOB - available in the local town.

We kindly ask all guests to let us know if they will be able to attend the event by March 31, 2026, so that we can prepare and make the proper arrangements for the week. If you do already know whether you can or can't make it, you can let us know early on our RSVP page, on this website.

Considering we are asking guests to travel far and wide to celebrate our marriage, we consider our time spent together plenty of gift enough!

Ride app services like Uber and Bolt are available in the area, as well as local taxis. If you want, there are car rental services available in nearby Bordeaux, and the chateau can accommodate guests who wish to park there. For any activities on the itinerary, Mimi and Artur will organize group transportation.

As Mimi is very familiar with the ins and outs of dietary restrictions, we will happily accommodate any restrictions throughout the wedding week - just let Mimi know!

We are prioritizing having family and close friends at our wedding celebration, and unfortunately the guest list limited to those who are closest to us. Unless your invitation indicates a plus one, we appreciate your understanding.
