Questions
Quick answers to the things people ask most. Tap a question to open it.
What should I wear?
Cream and black, please, and no white or colour, even in accessories.
The evening gets cool, so bring a cream or black layer.
How do I RSVP?
Right here on the website, by 1 January 2027. One reply can cover everyone in your party.
Where is the wedding?
At Bihari Lovastanya, a horse farm at Antalbokor 8 on the edge of Nyíregyháza, about 15 minutes by taxi from the city centre. The last 500 m is a stone track.
What's a lagzi?
The Hungarian wedding party: music, dancing, pálinka and a few traditions, from 7pm until about 12.45am.
What time does the wedding finish?
At about 12.45am. A Hungarian lagzi usually goes on until 2am, but ours will finish a little earlier, so please book your taxi home for 12.45am.
What would you like as a gift?
Please don't bring presents: having you with us is the best gift. If you'd like to give something, a gift of money towards our life together would be very welcome.
If you can't make it but would like to send something, there's more on the Gifts page.
What's the bride's dance?
A Hungarian tradition, at 9pm: guests drop money into a basket for a short dance with the bride, and the groom comes last to “buy” her back. Everyone can join in, so bring a few forint or pound notes.
How do I get back to my hotel at night?
Please pre-book a taxi for about 12.45am: Szabolcs Taxi, +36 42 313 313. Bolt works in town, but a car out to the farm late at night isn't guaranteed.
Or stay at the venue, and skip the taxi altogether.
Can I drive to the wedding?
Yes, but if you're driving, please don't drink at all. Hungary's drink-drive limit is zero, so not even one glass. Pre-book a taxi instead, or stay at the venue.
Can I stay at the venue?
Yes: there are 25 simple places, £22 per person per night, first come, first served. Ask for one in your RSVP and we'll confirm.
Please bring your own drinking water for your stay.
Which airport should I fly to?
Debrecen is closest, an hour away, but only Wizz Air flies there, from Luton. Budapest has far more flights, Bristol's among them, and a direct train takes about 3 hours.
Is it true some of us travel free?
Yes: on Hungarian trains, over-65s and under-14s travel free, whatever their nationality. They only pay for the seat reservation.
Do I have to come to the weekend activities?
Not at all, they're optional. Join as many or as few as you like, and let us know in your RSVP.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Please tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies in your RSVP. If you don't drink alcohol, there's a box to tick for that too.
Do I need cash?
A little. Cards work almost everywhere, but forints come in handy for tips, buses and small places. For the bride's dance, bring forint or pound notes.
Is there Wi-Fi at the venue?
No, so check your roaming before you travel.
Is there drinking water at the venue?
At the wedding, water is free. If you're staying at the venue over the weekend, please bring your own drinking water.
What will the weather be like?
Usually 20–25 °C and sunny in early September, but evenings get cool, around 14 °C, so bring a jumper or jacket.
Is there a group chat for travelling?
From 30 January 2027 there'll be a WhatsApp group for all our guests, wherever you're coming from, for sharing lifts and airport runs. Tick the box in your RSVP to join.
Do I need a visa?
Not with a British passport: you can stay up to 90 days. Irish and EU citizens don't need one either, nor do visitors from the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
Travelling on another passport? Please check early, as a visa can take several weeks.
