we cannot wait to host you in Ogrodniczki, a small village just outside Bialystok, Poland, on 15 August 2026. this is where zuza grew up and where her family still lives, so the place is very special to us.

the ceremony, followed by canapés, will take place in Zuza's garden - surrounded by forest, fields and her five wandering cats.

dinner & speeches will take place in the marquee, followed a night full of dancing & oczepiny (wedding games).

polish weddings famously continue until morning - so expect plenty of food, a mix of polish and English traditions and a relaxed summery feeling. All this will be topped off with a little vodka.
