Q + A
Where can we stay?
Dubrovnik is pretty small and easy to get around. Anywhere in Lapad/Dubrovnik area will be close to the Wedding venues. Uber cabs are cheaper than local ones so make sure you have the Uber app downloaded.
If you do want to stay with us, we have a discount code at Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, check out the travel section on our page.
The two hotels closest to the reception are Hotel Splendid and Hotel Vis. There are also lots of lovely apartments along the coastline and hidden in the walls of the Old Town, but anywhere in Dubrovnik will work well.
What time is the ceremony?
Please arrive by 4.45pm for a 5pm start. It is likely to still be very hot in the late afternoon, so hydrate with plenty of G&T's. Fans will be provided!
Can I wear shorts?
Of course, wear what you feel most comfortable in. Make a bit of an effort though please, no swimwear!
What will the weather be like this time of year?
Hopefully sunny, August ranges from 24° - 32°.
Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?
The ceremony is at Sponza Palace and Reception at Hotel Dubrovnik Palace.
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony is an open roof palace and the reception is beach front.

What should I do if I can’t make it?
You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.
Will there be any vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/special diet options?
HELL NO!!! only joking. We can accommodate special diets just let us know in the RSVP.

Yes we have transport arranged to take everyone from Sponza Palace to Hotel Dubrovnik Palace. Look out for the groomsman, who will be leading the way.
Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?
Unless we get an OK Mag deal before the wedding. Of course, we want to see some creative Instagram reels and TikToks.
Our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #TheRowlands so we can keep track of all of your posts!

Its around 30 minutes drive.
How do I get to the Wedding venues?
