Hvar is well known for being the sunniest place in Europe and we expect the weather to be hot and sunny, around 30°C.

We want you to feel comfortable so there’s no need for formal attire - smart casual is what we’re aiming for but ultimately we want you feel comfortable so you can enjoy the day and see you on the dance floor later.

As a guide, Ant and his groomsmen will be wearing white short-sleeved shirts and tailored chino shorts.

We are incredibly grateful for you making the journey to celebrate our wedding, therefore we do not want any gifts from our guests.

For those of you who do insist, we kindly ask you make a donation to one of these amazing charities we hold close to our hearts:

* REST: They provide repatriation advice, support and funding for families who lose a loved one abroad. Donations would be made in memory of our close friend, Tom, who inspired the family to set up this cause #TTOTHEB

Tom’s dad and brother are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Feb 2023 to raise funds for the charity:

* Coppafeel: The charity focuses on promoting early detection of breast cancer by encouraging women under 30 to regularly check their breasts. Donations would be in memory of our close friend, Kate. Her husband, Chris, is trekking 100km across the Sahara Desert in November 2022 and you can donate here:

No strict dress code - just whatever you feel comfortable having a party in.

Ant is wearing his wedding outfit (chino shorts and shirt sleeved shirt) again. Smart-casual is more than enough so no need to dig your suits out of the back of the wardrobe.

After speaking to some guests, most have mentioned wearing jeans and a shirt, or dress and heels but nothing over the top fancy

Children are welcome to the venue but only until 11pm due to their license

At 20:15 some light bites will be served for those who want to eat:

- cheeseburger sliders with ketchup and pickles

- cheesy chips with spring onion

- Cajun jackfruit wrap with sticky rice and avocado

- Mowgli (Indian street food)

- Kassap (Steak place also serving fish and tapas)

Castle Street also has some good choices:

- Bacaro (Italian/Mediterranean tapas)

- Another Mowgli if you can’t get in to Bold Street

There are a few food markets too for those who might want a bit of variety:

- Duke Street Market (lovely place for drinks and/or food)

- Baltic Market (a little out of town and much more street food based)

- Renshaw Street Food Market (this is relatively new and we’ve not tried it yet but serves more world cuisine choices)
