What you need to know to survive (and get to the ceremony)


  1. Due to circumstances beyond our control we have moved the time of the ceremony forward to 11am.
  2. There will be a bus leaving Hotel Buchlov at 10am to go to ceremony. It can fit 30-40 people so if you want to take this rather than driving that is a good idea as there will be booze. (Czech driving blood alcohol limit is ZERO... get your minds around that Americans). Lauren and Irena are going to be captains of the bus and will be in charge if anyone has any questions. 
  3. The same bus will then take you back after the ceremony finishes.
For people who are going independently to the ceremony we have attached three maps that will help you get to the correct place. 
  1. Road map showing route from Hotel Buchlov to Buchlovice village. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes. 
  2. The second map shows where you can park in Buchlovice and also where the chateau is in relation to The Hotel Buchlovice where some of you are staying (not to be confused with the Hotel Buchlov which is where the reception is). 
  3. The third map shows you where to go at the Zamek (chateau) Buchlovice. You need to go to the main gate and tell them that you are going to the wedding "jdu na svadbu" to avoid being made to pay for the privilege. Please go directly to the area just outside where the wedding is where all our guests are going to be gathering. There will be opportunities later to explore the rest of the grounds. There are other weddings going on at the same time so we don't want you to get lost.
Accommodation in Buclovsky Dvur:

This is the building that is adjacent to The Hotel Buchlov (where the reception is) at the top of the hill. The people that are staying here are: 

Room 1: Steph, Lauren, Freya & Alice
Room 2: Rory, Robin, Rhys, Peter
Room 3: Lucie, Irca, Nikol & Barca

All of you are booked in for two night apart from Irca, Nikol and Barca. If you are planning on staying until Monday then please go and rebook at the main Hotel next door. 

Apparently this guest house only has one key. The best solution is for this to be kept at the reception of the Hotel Buchlov so that nobody gets locked out. 

Taxis:

If you need to take a taxi from  the Hotel Buchlov to either Buchlovice or Uherské Hradiště (the closest major transport hub). We are cooperating with the taxi service www.taxiuherskehradiste.cz / 

Main Number: +420 608382283 
Additional driver numbers: +420 774788888, +420 773222733 

The price we have agreed is 350kc which is £12. These guys are available for night transport for those who are staying in Buchlovice village. 

Numbers if you need help:

Marta's mobile numbers is: +420 602590010 and her brother Jirka's is: +420 724363603 in case you have any questions. 

Looking forward to seeing you all very soon.
