FAQs
Question
What is the Celebration of Love?
Answer
We have been married twice but have never had a chance to celebrate with our cherished family and friends. It's time for a bigger celebration of love ❤️. Instead of a traditional wedding, we will host a collective Love Ceremony to honor each other and share our love with all of you. During the ceremony, we would love if you participated in helping us create a mandala like pattern (which is called a despacho offering in Peruvian indigenous cultures). Together, we will fill the despacho using natural elements such as fruits, flowers, seeds, nuts... all infused with our love and prayers. All materials will be provided at the venue.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by the 28th of February 2025, by using the online RSVP below (after the FAQ section). This will allow us to plan out other activities together with those of you who plan to attend our celebration.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We would love for our guests to arrive at 6pm for some foods and drinks, live music and mingling. Our Love Ceremony will start at 8pm. Post the ceremony, we will have more food and more drinks, more live music, more singing and dancing until 1am.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Boho chic or boho casual. Earthy and natural tones, or pastels. Simple, free spirited and relaxed. Or floral crowns, feathery headbands, lace, hats, fringe and tassels. It’s all up to you. Our celebration will take place outside on a grassy area so comfy and light footwear is recommended. We embrace the joy of going barefoot too. High heels on grass … watch out ladies, probably a bad idea :) It can be hot in Serbia even in the evenings so plan your attire accordingly.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Of course. Please do so as soon as possible. Note there will be a variety of local Serbian and international cuisine, including vegetarian and vegan options. And a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including aromatized water, natural lemonades, and mocktails. Food and drinks will be available throughout the entire celebration (except during the Love Ceremony).
Question
Is there parking on site?
Answer
Free parking is available at the venue for all our guests. We highly recommend using our transportation service from Belgrade to Ranch Concept and back.
Question
Is there transportation to and from Belgrade to the celebration?
Answer
Yes, we will provide free transportation from Belgrade to Ranch Concept and back. The exact places and times of pick ups and returns will be posted once we have all the logistics in place.
Question
Am I allowed to take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos and videos during the Love Ceremony itself. This is because we would like you to actively participate in the ceremony with us. There will be a professional photographer and videographer at our celebration, and all our guests will have access to the photo gallery after the event.
Question
Will there be other events to attend on the celebration weekend?
Answer
We will host a dinner on Saturday evening, the 12th of July, for our guests flying in from abroad.
Question
Can I buy a gift for you?
Answer
We do not expect our guests to bring any gifts. However, If you really wish to contribute, there will be a card box at our celebration venue.
Question
I have more questions about your celebration, who can I contact?

You can always contact one of us or our celebration planner: Mina Mladenović from Arkadia Mob: +381606990065 Mail: minam.arkadia@gmail.com

Hotel
Mama Shelter Belgrade
This hotel is on the last floor of a small shopping mall on the main pedestrian street in Belgrade, called Knez Mihajlova. All main attractions are within walking distance, including Kalemegdan (a big city park that is a true historical monument of Belgrade). They have a very nice restaurant open to guests and visitors, with a big terrace overlooking Knez Mihajlova street and Saborna Church (a famous Orthodox cathedral in the city center). It’s very good value for money, if you like smaller relaxed artsy hotels.
Hotel
Hotel Moskva
This is a historical hotel in the city center, built at the beginning of the last century and considered a symbol of Belgrade’s authentic and complicated past - both cultural and political. Its famous cafe is a meeting point for Belgradians too. It is reasonably priced and very well placed.
Hotel
Hotel Indigo Belgrade, an IHG Hotel
An IHG hotel located in a beautiful building, in the heart of Belgrade. This hotel is just off the main pedestrian street, Knez Mihajlova. It has a modern artsy design and a charming atrium. Moderately priced.
Hotel
Hilton Belgrade
The Hilton Belgrade opened in 2018. It is very close to another central square in Belgrade, Slavija Square. It is also walking distance to St. Sava Temple and the lively residential neighborhood Vračar, which is known for its cobble streets, many cafes, restaurants and galleries. It is somewhat further away from the main pedestrian street, Knez Mihajlova. But it is still within a walking distance of about 30 minutes (2km). It is reasonably priced for a 5-star hotel.
Travel Note
Other 5-star hotels and airbnbs
If you are interested in other 5-star or big chain hotels, such as Hyatt or Crowne Plaza, please know that they are not in the city center, but across the bridge in the part called New Belgrade. It is a fairly quick cab ride into town, depending on traffic, but there’s nothing of interest within the walking distance from the hotels. They are reasonably priced for their star ratings. The St. Regis just opened in Belgrade, in the newly built area by the Sava river called Belgrade Waterfront. There are also many airbnbs for rent in this area. The upscale shopping mall Galerija with many restaurants is within walking distance, as well as Beton Hala, a very popular dining and night life destination. The city center is within 2 km. If you would like to splurge, Prezident Palace Belgrade - Adults Only, is highly rated within walking distance to the city center (about 20min by foot). Finally, if you are looking to rent an apartment for your stay, booking.com and airbnb seem to have a large offer of very reasonably priced and well furnished places in the city center (Stari Grad).
