Our story
We met in 2019 in a tiny bookshop in Kraków, when we both reached for the last copy of the same book. It ended with coffee, then with trips together, and finally with a proposal by the Vistula — just a few kilometres from where we’ll say “I do”.

Fun facts
1
Sunday mornings, as usual — with Pierogi supervising.
01
The café quietly stacked the chairs around us. We only noticed when they turned the lights off.
02
Her name is Dolores. She is coming to the wedding (as bread).
03
Maria was right in nine of them. William would like it noted that he was right in five.
04
The same title we both reached for in 2019. William bought a second copy just to hollow it out.
05
Together we are one fully functioning person at a sports game.
06
We are both terrible at it. Please bring your enthusiasm, not your talent.
Schedule
The ceremony will take place in the garden under the old linden trees. If it rains, we’ll simply move into the orangery — no changes needed on your side.
Lavender lemonade and chilled bubbles in the courtyard.
15:00
Civil ceremony in the linden garden. Please be on time.
Champagne, canapés and photos by the fountain.
One long table and a seasonal menu made with local produce.
Then the dance floor in the orangery, until sunrise.
A sweet midnight with blankets and hot chocolate in the orchard.
Venue
Getting there
About 2 hours from Warsaw, 50 minutes from Lublin. Free parking on site.
Ceremony
In the linden garden behind the manor. It’s on grass — leave the stilettos at home.
Plan B
If the weather lets us down, everything moves into the orangery.
Amenities
We’ve reserved 40 rooms in the manor and the guest house for the night of September 12. Breakfast included.
Shuttle from Warsaw (Central Station, 11:30 am) and Lublin (12:45 pm). Return trips at 2:00 am and 11:00 am the next day.
A kids’ corner with a host from 4:00 to 10:00 pm, a children’s menu and a nap room with cots.
Seasonal cooking with local produce. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options — just let us know in your RSVP.
Free, attended parking for 60 cars by the main gate. EV charging available.
Your presence is the best gift. If you’d like, you can contribute to our honeymoon in Portugal.
Make a weekend of it
Wander
Renaissance townhouses, galleries and a bread-rooster from a local bakery — a Kazimierz tradition.
Climb
A short, steep walk up from the square for the best view over the rooftops and the river.
Cross
Take the little ferry across the Vistula to the castle on the hill. Perfect for a lazy Sunday.
Explore
Deep ravines lined with tree roots, a short walk from town. Bring the comfortable shoes again.
Engagement session · Kazimierz Dolny, 2025
“See you under the lindens.”
Maria & William
Yes, if your invitation says “and guest”. Please add their name in the RSVP form.
Choose “Yes, at the manor” in the RSVP form and we’ll hold a room for you. Rooms are allocated in the order replies arrive.
Think summer suits and light dresses — elegant, but comfortable enough for grass and dancing. Block heels and flats are perfect.
We’d love an unplugged ceremony — our photographer has it covered. Once we’ve said “I do”, snap away and share everything.
Officially at 2:00 am, when the first shuttle heads back. The bonfire usually has other ideas.
RSVP
Kindly reply by July 15, 2026, so we can finalise the menu, rooms and transport down to the last detail.
With love, Maria & William
