Questions?

Yes 😊 

We can’t wait to create a beautiful, joyful party with all of you, powered by music. We’ve put together a veeeery long and fully personalized playlist: meaningful, fun, evergreen, and important to us. Expect plenty of hits, plus music from both our countries of origin: some modern, some traditional.

​

Croatia, where Marko’s roots are, has a strong tradition of circle dancing: "kolo" literally translated as wheel. It’s all about community, celebration, and moving together. Don’t worry too much about the steps: there’s always that aunt or uncle inventing their own anyway! Just jump into the kolo and let it carry you along.

We expect the party to go on until the late (or early?) hours, so give us your best moves and, if you feel like it, sing along to our greatest hits!

Marko learned most of his dancing at weddings where he eventually fell asleep on chairs at the edge of the dance floor. We’d love to have your kids join us too, if that works for you. There will be some corners around the church where little ones can play and hang out. Sleeping options at the venue, however, might be a be limited, unless your little ones can do as little Marko did: so you know your kids best, and we’ll leave the decision up to you.

The general vibe will be elegant summery. Dress nicely, but please keep in mind that Basel in late July is usually in full summer mode (around 25-30°C), and the day will be long :) Feel free to bring extra shoes or a jacket: there will be plenty of space to leave your things and pick them up later if needed.

Honestly, whatever makes you feel like your best self.
If you love a classic look, go for it. If you'd rather stand out and be remembered, we fully support that too. Think elegant, colorful, stylish, fun: the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and festive.
And no, there are no forbidden colors. Even white is absolutely fine for the ladies, considering there won't be a bride competing with you for it. 😉

Several of you have asked, so here it is:
IBAN: CH66 0840 1000 0673 1286 1
The account is in both our names, so either Domenico Petrella or Marko Papak will work as the beneficiary. 
One small thing to keep in mind: if you're making a transfer from outside Switzerland, your bank may charge relatively high international transfer fees. If that's the case, just get in touch and we'll happily look for an easier solution together.
And if you'd rather bring a card instead, there will be a dedicated place at the wedding where you can leave cards and messages for us. We truly love reading them and will treasure them after the celebrations are over.
