"The Big Day!"

When: Saturday, June 27th, 2026
Where: Aurora Resort & SPA, Berovo Lake, Macedonia
Meeting time: 17h00 (the ceremony starts at 18h00)

Dress Code: It's a celebratory party, not a corporate meeting. Think smart-casual! Since the venue is in the mountains, the evening can get chilly. Layers are highly recommended!

"The Day-After Bash"

When: Sunday, June 28th, 2026
Where: Aurora Resort & SPA, Berovo Lake, Macedonia
Meeting time: All day! Just find a comfy sun lounger by the pool and enjoy a delicious vegan BBQ. For the evening, the resort's restaurant is available for even more food and drinks extravaganza!

Dress Code: Pool party, casual, relaxed. Basically, come as you are and maybe bring a swimsuit. No "chicness" is required—we'll all be recovering together.

Recovery Options: Need to sweat off the rakija? The resort has a wonderful SPA with treatments available. Book a massage or hit the sauna to detox!

"Day 3 - TBD"

When: Monday, June 29th, 2026
Where: TBD – Valandovo/Gevgelija
Meeting time: TBD
Dress Code: Farmer Casual?

"Accommodation"

For your comfort (and to ensure you can go full out on the drinks!), accommodation at the Aurora Resort can be booked throughout the entire weekend (3 evenings)!

We anticipate that the cost for accommodation will be in the range of €55-70 per person per night (incl. breakfast). Please let us know on your RSVP form when you plan to stay at the resort (e.g., all 3 nights, just the wedding night, 2 nights, etc.).

Once we have a final headcount, we will send you detailed information on booking the best and most convenient options.

"Getting There & Getting Around - Your Macedonian Odyssey"

Trains: Of course, everyone's preferred option for romantic and sustainable travels, but in the Balkans, forget about it. It's easier to walk!

Airports: You have four relevant options.

• Skopje International Airport (SKP), North Macedonia: Approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes (142 km) from the wedding venue.
• Sofia Airport (SOF), Bulgaria: Approximately 2 hours and 26 minutes (169 km) from the wedding venue.
• Thessaloniki Airport (SKG), Greece: Approximately 2 hours and 51 minutes (169 km) from the wedding venue.
• Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD), North Macedonia: Approximately 4 hours and 24 minutes (300 km) from the wedding venue. Mostly relevant if you are visiting Ohrid before the wedding.

Renting a car: It is the easiest way to see the country (and often the cheapest!). Expect around €30-€40/day in North Macedonia or €40-€50/day if you rent in Greece.

Taxis: Uber is a myth here. In Skopje, just ask your hotel or restaurant to call a taxi for you. Simple as that!

Organized buses: To make your life easier, we can arrange bus transportation from Skopje to the venue on the wedding day (June 27th) and a return trip the following day (June 28th). If you'd like a spot on the bus, please let us know on your RSVP form!

Currency: The local currency is the Macedonian Denar (MKD) (1€ = 61 MKD). Euros are sometimes accepted in tourist areas, but it's best to have local currency.

Language: Macedonian is the official language. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, especially by younger generations.

"Registry & Gifts"

No gifts are expected! Seriously. Your dance moves and effort to travel all the way to Macedonia is the greatest gift we could ask for. That said, for those who feel the overwhelming need to stick to tradition and "release some change," there will be a little box at the wedding. Consider it a tradition tax, not a gift requirement!
