FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins to allow time for seating.

Question

What should I expect from a Polish wedding?

Answer

A Polish wedding is less of a day and more of an endurance event! Expect lots of food, plenty of dancing, and celebrations that continue well into the early hours of the morning.

Question

Will I understand what's going on if I don't speak Polish?

Answer

Absolutely. While we're embracing Polish traditions, our DJs speak English, as do many of our Polish family and friends. Any traditions, games, announcements or activities will be explained in English, so nobody will feel left out. This applies to our Polish family and friends and Scottish activities.

Question

What time does the wedding finish?

Answer

Officially? We have no idea. The DJ is going to be present until 3am.

Question

Will there be enough food to keep me going?

Answer

More than enough. Polish weddings are famous for keeping guests well fed throughout the night. Rather than one meal and an evening buffet, you'll be served multiple hot meals: • Wedding dinner after the ceremony • First supper at 8:00pm • Second supper at 10:00pm • Third supper at midnight There will also be a cold buffet, a traditional Polish village table (Wiejski Stół), and a dessert table available throughout the evening.

Question

What is a "First Supper", "Second Supper" and "Third Supper"?

Answer

At Polish weddings, food is served throughout the night to keep everyone's energy levels up for dancing. Think of them as additional hot meals rather than snacks.

Question

Will there be lots of dancing?

Answer

We certainly hope so! Bring comfortable shoes and prepare for a packed dance floor.

Question

Do I need to learn any Polish?

Answer

No, although a few useful phrases might earn you extra points with the family! Na zdrowie! — Cheers! Dziękuję — Thank you Sto lat! — A traditional celebration song wishing someone a long and happy life.

Question

What's the best strategy for surviving a Polish wedding?

Answer

Pace yourself. With food, drinks and dancing continuing late into the night, the experienced guests know not to peak too early!
