FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by April 30, 2027.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at Schloss Eckartsau by 3:30pm. Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00pm, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy some refreshments, find your seat, and get settled before we begin.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress to impress! Think elegant cocktail attire, stylish dresses and sharp suits. Since much of our wedding will take place outdoors on gravel and grass, we strongly recommend block heels or comfortable dress shoes.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We're looking forward to sharing our special day with our closest family and friends! As we're keeping our guest list limited, invitations are reserved for the guests specifically named on them. Thank you so much for understanding!

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding ceremony and reception will be an adults-only occasion. Children are welcome to join us for Saturday's more casual Wine Walk!

Question

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?

Answer

Absolutely! You'll be able to select your preferred dinner option and let us know about any allergies or dietary restrictions during the RSVP process.

Question

Will transportation be provided to and from Schloss Eckartsau?

Answer

Yes! We'll provide a shuttle from The Hoxton, Vienna to Schloss Eckartsau before the ceremony, with multiple return shuttles throughout the night. You're welcome to use the shuttle even if you're staying elsewhere. Just make sure to arrive at The Hoxton in time for departure. Exact shuttle times will be shared closer to the wedding.

Question

Is there parking at Schloss Eckartsau?

Answer

Yes, parking is available at Schloss Eckartsau if you prefer to drive yourself. Alternatively, you're welcome to arrange your own transportation by taxi or Uber.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We recommend The Hoxton, Vienna, where we'll also be staying! We've arranged discounted room rates for our guests, and the hotel will serve as the pickup and drop-off point for our wedding shuttles. You'll find the booking link and further details on our Hotel page.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Your presence is truly the greatest gift! We won't have a traditional registry, but for anyone who would like to give something, we've set up a Honeymoon Fund to help make our long-awaited trip to Japan a reality. You can find more details on our Honeymoon Fund page.

Question

Do you have recommendations for things to do in Vienna?

Answer

Absolutely! We've put together a collection of our favorite restaurants, traditional coffeehouses, and must-see attractions to help you experience Vienna like a local. Check out our Things to Do page for recommendations and a more detailed Vienna guide.

Question

What's the best way to get around Vienna?

Answer

Vienna is very walkable and has an excellent public transportation system, including subways (U-Bahn), trams, and buses. You can use the same ticket across all three, and we recommend downloading the WienMobil app to plan your routes and purchase tickets. Unlike in many other cities, there are no ticket gates! If you buy a paper ticket, make sure to validate it at the blue machines before your first ride. Digital tickets purchased through the app are valid from their selected start time. Ticket inspectors conduct random checks, so always travel with a valid ticket. You won't need a car to explore Vienna!

Question

How do I get from Vienna Airport to the city?

Answer

Vienna International Airport is well connected to the city center by public transportation, typically taking around 20-30 minutes to reach a major transit hub. Please note that railway construction will affect airport connections during our wedding. The City Airport Train (CAT) is scheduled to operate as a replacement bus to Wien Mitte, while regular ÖBB trains will continue to Vienna's main train station (Hauptbahnhof). Taxis and Uber are also convenient alternatives, especially if you're traveling with luggage. We recommend checking the latest routes on the Vienna Airport website before traveling.

Question

Is there anything we should know about local customs?

Answer

A few things! Tipping around 5-10% is customary at restaurants and cafés, rather than the 15-20% you might be used to in the U.S. When paying, simply tell your server the total amount you'd like to pay, including the tip. For example, if your bill is €46, you can say “€50, please!” rather than leaving a tip on the table afterward. This works for both cash and card payments. Most stores are closed on Sundays, and while credit cards are widely accepted, it's always handy to carry some euros in cash. And don't forget to drink the tap water – Vienna's Alpine spring water is excellent (one of the best in the worlds).
