We’re guessing that this will be your first Czech wedding – yay! That’s why we’ve pulled together all the important bits you might want to know or that you may find helpful.
If you’d like to know anything else, just drop us a message!
Will you be there?
P.S.: You’ll find extra tips for sightseeing and food in Prague at the end of the page!
Please don’t forget to let us know whether you’ll make it. Ideally by filling in the form below.

The best choice is to take an Uber, Bolt, or another taxi service, especially if you’re coming from Prague or nearby. The ride from Dejvice (Prague 6) takes about 15–20 minutes and costs roughly 200–500 CZK (around 8–20 EUR).
Getting here by public transport is possible, but definitely not the simplest. You can take a train to Tuchoměřice and walk about 20 minutes, or take bus no. 323 or 342 to Středokluky, rozc. Černovičky and walk about 25 minutes. The bus runs from the airport, and the train from Hostivice, both are easiest to reach from the Zličín metro station.
It is also possible to come by car – Pazderna is located a few kilometres past the Prague Airport, just off the D7 highway. There’s parking available for about 20 cars. If you plan to come by car, please let us know in advance so we can reserve a spot for you. That said, we recommend choosing a different way to get there🍾!
-
You won’t leave hungry for sure – whether you're a meat-lover, vegetarian, or vegan. As many of you know, Daniel is a vegetarian himself, so our wedding menu is very veggie-friendly! We'll also have gluten-free and lactose-free options available. If you have any intolerances or allergies, please let us know when filling out the RSVP form – we'll make sure all dishes are clearly labelled.
The day kicks off with light refreshments as you arrive, followed by a sit-down lunch after the ceremony. We'll start with soup, then open up a buffet so you can help yourself with whatever you like. In the afternoon, we'll cut the wedding cake and open up the sweet bar, and in the evening we'll have a BBQ outside. We hope we sparked your interest – the rest is a surprise!
-
Please arrive between 10:30 and 11:30 so you're there in time for the ceremony and so you don't miss the welcome drink and snacks. Trust us, you won't want to skip those!
You can find the full schedule here. It's only a rough plan though, we reserve the right to make changes if needed (or if we feel like it).
-
There are only a few rooms at Pazderna, which we’re reserving for family and closest friends. We recommend finding accommodation (Airbnb or Booking) in Prague 6, ideally in Dejvice or Hanspaulka, or a bit further from the city center in Veleslavín or Petřiny if you prefer to look for cheaper options. You’ll be close to the venue (about 15 minutes by taxi) and perfectly placed to spend the next (slightly hungover) day exploring Prague Castle and other sights! 😎 We’re happy to share more tips, just drop us a message!

Honestly? We already have all the dishes, vases and appliances we need. So the thing that would make us happiest (after having you there with us) is a financial contribution. Whether it ends up going towards our honeymoon, our home, or simply to our savings account that feels a lot lighter after the wedding 😄. Thank you! At the venue, you'll find a designated spot to leave any cards or gifts, plus a QR code with our bank details in both € and CZK. 🎁
A little note for our international guests: Czech wedding tradition works a little differently to what you might be used to. The general idea is that the gift is meant to roughly cover the cost of your attendance – food, drinks, venue and so on. It's not a strict rule so please don't stress about it, but we wanted to give you a bit more information to help you decide. A typical amount per person tends to be around 2,000–3,000 CZK (80-120€), but honestly (no cap), what matters most is that you're there with us. 🤍

We want our wedding to be fun, colourful and full of summer vibes – so the dresscode is simple: COLOUR! We've picked ten shades we'd love to see on you. You can find all the details in the Dresscode & Moodboard section, and for extra inspiration, feel free to browse our Pinterest board.

Other Important Information
CHILDREN AT THE WEDDING
Kids are very welcome at our wedding! If you have the option of a babysitter though – especially for the little ones – feel free to use it. It'll be more comfortable for you and for them.
We do have one rule: children under 2 please skip the ceremony. Nothing personal – it's just very hard to explain to someone that small why they need to be quiet for a bit, and we'd rather not risk having one of our most important moments interrupted, however adorably. If you'd like to wait nearby with your baby and rejoin us straight after, that's absolutely fine.
For older kids, we'll leave it to your judgement – you know them best. If you're not sure they'll make it through the ceremony peacefully, they'll probably be happier somewhere outside. And let's be honest, so will you. 😄
ANIMALS AT THE WEDDING
Please leave your furry friends at home. As a consolation for all the animal lovers out there – Pazderna has horses on site, and some of the resident cats may well decide to make an appearance too. 🐾
NO PHONES DURING THE CEREMONY, PLEASE
No phones during the ceremony – no exceptions. We want you to be fully present and experience the moment with us, not through a screen. Kuba and Manina from You & Me Hub will be capturing everything on photo and video, so there will be plenty of beautiful pictures!
And honestly – you really don't want to be the only one caught on camera looking at your phone during the ceremony, haha.
PLEASE DON’T POST PHOTOS OF US ON SOCIAL MEDIA
This one's important to us – please don't post any photos or videos featuring us on social media. You can for sure take photos with or of us, just please no posting online. We want to share our moments in our own time and in our own way. Everything else – your looks, your people, the venue, the food… post as you wish! 📸
CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?
Plus ones are welcome if they've been invited. If we haven't included your partner on the invitation but you'd really love to have them there, just reach out and we'll figure something out.
A little guide to czech weddings for our international guests 🇨🇿
Never been to a Czech wedding before? Don't worry – we've got you covered. Here's a quick rundown of what to expect so you can show up feeling like a pro.
It's a long day (in the best way). Czech weddings are a full day affair – sometimes stretching well into the night. Pace yourself, especially with the open bar. You've been warned. 😄
The food. Czech wedding receptions traditionally open with a sit-down lunch. After that, it's pretty much an all-day feast. Expect plenty of food, drinks, and general good vibes throughout the day. Everything is paid for, including all drinks.
Wedding games. Czech weddings are known for their games and activities. You will for sure not be bored!
Breaking a plate. At the start of the reception, the couple break a plate and then sweep up the pieces together. It symbolises good luck and their ability to work as a team. Don't be alarmed by the sudden smashing.
The bouquet ribbon game. Instead of the classic bouquet toss, we'll be doing something a little more fun. All the single ladies at the wedding will each hold one ribbon tied to the bouquet, standing in a circle around the bride – who will be blindfolded and armed with scissors. One by one, she will cut the ribbons, and whoever ends up holding the last one gets to keep the bouquet and, according to tradition, will be the next to get married! 💐 It takes a lot longer than a regular bouquet toss, but it is much more fun, nobody gets elbowed in the face, plus the bouquet stays in one piece. Everyone wins.
Gifts. See the Wedding Gifts section above for the full details, but the short version is: Czech wedding gifts are typically financial, with the general idea being that guests contribute roughly enough to cover the cost of their attendance. It's not a strict rule, but good to know!
Most importantly – come ready to eat, drink, dance, and have a great time. Czech weddings are warm, fun, and impossible to forget. 🤍

extra tips for sightseeing & food in prague!
Featuring tips from your favourite Czech influencers – Kamvpraze ;)
Since many of you are coming from far away, we thought it would be a shame not to make the most of it! Here are some of our tips for exploring Prague before or after the wedding.
-
Yes, they're touristy – but for good reason. Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock are genuinely stunning and worth seeing at least once. Our tip is to go early in the morning before the crowds arrive.
-
Malá Strana (the Lesser Town) sits just below Prague Castle and is one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Prague (Tereza’s personal favourite!). Get lost in the narrow streets, hidden courtyards and enjoy the little cafes.
Náplavka is a riverbank promenade that comes alive in the warmer months and is an ABSOLUTE must go in the late afternoon/evening. On Saturday mornings it hosts one of the best farmers markets in the city. In the evenings, the riverbank fills up with people grabbing drinks from the little bars and boats moored along the water. It's relaxed, unpretentious, and very much the real Prague. Both banks are worth a visit, but we'd defo go for the Smíchov side. So many memories!
Vyšehrad – an ancient fortress on a hill above the Vltava river with beautiful gardens, a cemetery, and some of the best views of the city. Locals love it, tourists mostly miss it.
Střelecký ostrov is a small island on the Vltava right in the heart of the city, A quiet green escape with benches, trees, and a lovely view of the river. You can rent a pedal boat on the Vltava, which is a very Prague thing to do and genuinely great fun, especially on a sunny day. 🚣 We used to do it every summer! Tip: Bring some cold drinks in your tote bag for the best experience on board ;).
Grébovka is a beautiful park in Vinohrady with a vineyard, and a gorgeous Art Nouveau pavilion. Great place for a walk with cozy cafes nearby. P.S.: Daniel used to live right next to this park!
Vinohrady, Karlín or Holešovice are the neighbourhoods where actual Prague people live, eat, and hang out. Great cafes, zero tourist traps, and a much more relaxed vibe than the Old Town.
If you're into parks and green space, Stromovka in Prague 7 is a lovely spot for a picnic or a lazy afternoon walk – especially in summer.
One more tip: the Valdštejn Garden in Malá Strana is a beautiful Baroque garden that's free to enter, a few minutes' walk from Charles Bridge, and almost always peaceful. It is absolutely STUNNING. Oh, and there are peacocks too!
-
Czech food is hearty, meat-heavy, and absolutely delicious. The national dish is svíčková – slow-cooked beef sirloin in a creamy sauce, served with bread dumplings and cranberries. If you only eat one Czech thing, it should be this! P.S.: You can also try a vegan version at Vegan’s Prague, a great restaurant close to Prague Castle with an amazing view!
Don’t forget about the beer. Czech beer is some of the best in the world (did you know that the term “pils” actually comes from the Czech city Pilsen?). A half litre of Pilsner Urquell or Kozel on tap will probably cost you less than a coffee back home.
Czech cuisine:
Kuchyň is a MUST GO for Czech cuisine, beer and the best views! A bit more expensive, but definitely worth visiting at least for a drink with a view. It is right next to the Prague castle. Reservation is recommended.
Lokál for Czech food and beer. Several locations across Prague, so it is quite easy to find!
Havelská Koruna for a budget-friendly but delicious Czech food!
Brunch:
Bistro Monk in the city center (Old Town)
Bistro Cafe Laskavá (Vinohrady)
Etapa (Karlín)
O-mai coffee (asian inspired brunch, Vinohrady)
Meme brunch (asian inspired brunch, Vinohrady)
Srnky (Vinohrady, Smíchov)
Bju Kitchen (close to Wenceslas square)
Místo (Dejvice)
Vejce Dejvice (Dejvice)
Šodó (Dejvice) - popular for a typical czech sweet dish “buchtičky se šodó” (must try!!)
Coffee: Prague is a HOT SPOT for specialty coffee! Some of our favourite cafés are:
Ema espresso bar (Prague 1 or Karlín)
Cafe Hrnek (Holešovice)
SmetanaQ (Smetanovo nábřeží) - also great brunches!
Coffee room (Vinohrady or Old Town)
Polibek cafe (Dejvice)
Sweet treats:
Kus koláče or Kolacherie for typical Czech “koláče”
Knedlín for typical Czech dumplings
Zrno zrnko for the best cinnamon buns
Prokop croissants for the best croissants
Dinner:
Manifesto market (Smíchov) - a unique concept with a collection of different food stands - Vietnamese, burgers, tacos, draft beer, drinks… a lot of fun!!
Las Adelitas (multiple locations) - the BEST Mexican restaurant with the BEST frozen margaritas!!
Neapolis (Vinohrady) for a great pizza
Mamam bistro (Vinohrady) - cool asian restaurant
Dva kohouti (Karlín) for food, beers, and vibes
Quick lunch:
Wokin (multiple locations) - set up your own wok noodles dish
Banh mi ba (multiple locations) - affordable and tasty vietnamese food (incl. vegan options)
Dhaba beas (multiple locations) - indian-inspired vegan buffet, budget-friendly
Burrito Loco (multiple locations) - the BEST burrito (also ideal as a midnight snack as it is located on the party street, hehe)
Vegan:
Vegan’s Prague for Czech cuisine.
Dhaba Beas for the BEST affordable, indian-inspired buffet. We love it here!
Loving Hut is an asian bistro with both a buffet and an á la carte menu.
Palo Verde or Sandokan bistro
Drinks:
Wine: Bokovka or Na břehu Rhony
Monkey bar (close to the main train station) - a bit more expensive, but great vibes
Anonymous bar (Old Town) - unique bar with a secret menu
Sipster bar (Vinohrady) - cool cocktails & cheese fondue
Hangar or Aloha for happy hour cocktails (right next to the party street)
Smíchovská náplavka - any of the bars by the river
Party: Dlouhá street in the Old Town is the go-to spot for bars and clubs. Our personal favourite is Steam Punk. If you’re looking for an oldies night, head to Lucerna (Tereza has a lot of stories from there, haha). Just don't blame us for the next morning. You can also go to Vzorkovna if you’re not afraid and if you’re hipster/gen z enough for it.
Btw, one last important tip: if a restaurant has its menu displayed in five languages outside and someone tries to wave you in – keep walking. The best places in Prague don't need to advertise on the pavement!
