KATE AND JULIAN
are getting married!
SHE SAID YES
On a rainy afternoon at Cambridge Beaches, Kate and Julian decided to go for an adventure. Thanks to our friends at Eco pest, we were forced out of our new home for a few days and landed all the way over in Somerset. A full weekend of plans were quickly dispersed due to lightning storms and rain. The jittery demeanor of Julian was not storm related, it was Engagement Day and we had to get moving.
A surprise electric car rental was waiting in the parking lot, and they were ready to explore the island. Kate curiously questioned ‘Why are we heading East?’, to which Julian enticingly replied "I just need to make one stop".
At our first destination, we arrived back at the restaurant of our first date, then continued with a trip to Port Royal Golf Course to our first international sporting competition and the road took us to the Waterlot Inn, the first time we hosted our close friends for a birthday dinner. A few lightning strikes and scattered showers later at the last stop, Julian pulled over at a familiar family location at Cavallo Bay and she said yes. Our continued journey of commitment and partnership took the next step and we’re very excited to celebrate with you all in Budapest.

How it started
First Date
Kate and Julian met at a friend's Beer-Olympics themed birthday party in 2020. While waiting in line for Birria tacos, they had a brief chat in between competitive games of volley pong and slip-and-slide flip cup. After few months went by, Julian managed to find Kate's phone number and they went on their first date at Boundary Sports Bar. The rest is history.

FAQs
✈️ Travel & Transportation
What airport should I fly into?
We recommend arriving at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport – BUD by Wednesday, August 19th or the morning of Thursday, August 20th, at the latest.
Do I need a visa to travel to Hungary?
Hungary is part of the EU so please follow entry requirements for your respective passport.
We will monitor the developments on the new ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) which is planned to be effective late 2026, which will require most visa-exempt travelers (like US, UK, Canadian citizens) to the EU to apply for the new ETIAS online.
What’s the best way to get from the airport to the hotel?
The most convenient ways to get into the city centre are by taking an Uber or Taxi (head to the official Taxi stand outside arrivals where you can pre-pay for your ride into the city centre, $35-$45). Alternatively, there is the 100E bus that goes directly from the airport to the city centre.
What’s the best way to get around Budapest?
Budapest is very walkable and most sights can easily be reached from central hotels by foot. If traveling further, the public transportation system is easy to use and we recommend taking the metro or trams that run all over the city. Tickets can be purchased through the BudapestGo app or the ticket vending machines outside most stations.
🏨 Accommodations
Are there hotel blocks or recommended places to stay?
Our hotel block is reserved at the Parisi Udvar Hotel Budapest, which is where the welcome event will be held on Thursday, August 20th. Please use code PUWE to book in our hotel block.
There are numerous other hotels and Airbnbs in the area for various budgets, we recommend staying within a 15 min walk distance to the Parisi Hotel if you can.
Our wedding events will be held over a busy holiday weekend (see further details below) so we recommend booking accommodations well in advance.

There is also plenty of parking available at the venue for those who may want to drive.
