Attire
Our wedding shall carry a gentle theme inspired by the late Middle Ages and the graceful Renaissance.

We would be most delighted should you choose to honor this spirit with flowing evening robes, elegant gowns, or a subtle detail in your attire that nods to this bygone age.
Yet let it be known: there is no need for full historical garb nor elaborate costume
— dress in what brings you comfort and noble grace.

Kindly bear in mind, should fair weather bless our day, the ceremony and celebrations thereafter shall take place in the castle garden. Therefore, suitable footwear and garments to shield you from any chill winds are warmly recommended.
Location of our Festivities
Our noble gathering will take place at the stately Castle Wiesenthau,
nestled within the picturesque Franconian Switzerland, approximately 35 leagues from Bamberg
and 40 leagues from Nuremberg.

A regional train station Wiesenthau lies at the foot of the castle hill,
accommodating guests who journey by rail,
while ample private parking awaits those arriving by carriage or car.
Accommodation
We shall gladly assist you in arranging suitable lodging.
For further details, booking assistance, or guidance toward alternative lodgings in the region,
please do not hesitate to reach out directly to the bride and groom.

The bridal couple is honored to cover the costs of accommodation for their closest family members and witnesses, but regrettably cannot extend this courtesy to all esteemed guests.

We also offer our heartfelt assistance to those dear guests journeying from afar
who wish to extend their stay in Franconia beyond the weekend of our festivities.
Gifts & Tokens
Your presence alone is the most treasured gift we could receive.

We do not seek additional tokens, mindful that attending our celebration may already be an expense
and an effort for many cherished guests.

Yet, should you still desire to present us with something special, we would gratefully appreciate
a contribution towards our intended wedding journey.
Support and Organisation
Our festive wedding weekend shall be graciously supported by Matthias Lieb, the brother of the groom, whose careful guidance and noble spirit aid us greatly in the preparations.

He shall be joined by Lyuba Volkova & Uwe Schaller in warmly assisting our guests.

Should you wish to contribute a speech, surprise, or performance during our celebrations, Lyuba & Uwe will happily advise on suitable timing and help you manage any organisational matters,
ensuring your generous contributions find their perfect place within our joyful festivities.
