Notes for
your journey

Will a traditional invitation arrive?

Yes. A formal paper invitation will follow by post. We are sharing the celebration and travel information digitally now so guests can make international arrangements early.

When should we reserve flights and hotels?

We encourage booking once you know you can join us. Late December is a festive travel period, and hotel inventory in Thun is limited. Choose flexible or refundable arrangements when available.

What will the weather be like?

Expect true Swiss winter conditions: cold air, possible snow or rain, and early evening darkness. The ceremony and reception are indoors, with only brief walks between locations.

Can we revise our response?

Yes. Submit the form again using the same email address and your newest details will replace the earlier response.

Will transportation be arranged?

The church and castle are next to one another in Schadau Park. Final wedding-day transportation guidance and the welcome-party location will be shared as plans are confirmed.

What travel documents do we need?

Every traveler should verify current passport validity and entry requirements for Switzerland based on their citizenship before booking.
