Morning Swim at Alcaufar Bay

9:30 AM to 11:30 AM

Charlie & Ro will be starting the big day with a swim at one of their favourite bays. If you're in the mood, come and join us for coffee, ensaïmada and a morning dip.

We will be at the bay from 9.30 until 11.30 so please join us in your own time. Find a parking space nearby and walk down the bay. We hope to secure some space on the side of the quay so look out for us there.

Ceremony at Santa Ponsa

5:30 PM

Our wedding will be held at Santa Ponsa, a restored 17th Century country house just a 5 minute drive from Rosanna's family home in Menorca. The event will start at 5.30pm with a short ceremony to celebrate our marriage.

Please try to arrive around 15 minutes before the ceremony starts, as there is a short walk from the carpark to the area where the ceremony is taking place.

Celebration, Dinner & Music

6:30 PM

Come prepared to eat, drink and dance. There will be good food. There will be music. Toasts will be raised throughout the evening. Don't plan on an early night.

Timings are likely to be a bit flexible! But to give you some idea, we expect dinner to be served around 9pm with music and dancing kicking off around 11.30pm.

When the time comes to head home, Taxis can be booked via reception which will be staffed all night. You can also pre-book Taxis via the instructions further down this page.

Recovery Lunch at La Baia

2:00 PM to 5:00 PM

The day after the wedding we will be heading for a late lunch with our families at La Baia: a family run, no-frills Italian joint right on the waterfront.

If you're still on the island, we'd love you to join us for pizza, pasta, a cold beer and an afternoon swim.

We will be taking over a space on their terrace from 2pm. Please drop in as soon as you are feeling ready for it! We recommend the Spaghetti Vongole :)

We do need to confirm numbers. So please let us know if you plan to join us.

Dress Code

The restaurant sits above a great little swimming spot. So bring your gear if you fancy it.

Travel

Note

Getting Around

Menorca is a small island, and all the events and accommodation suggestions are located near each other in the Southern half of the island.

Taxis in Menorca are readily available and offer decent value. So they will often be the best solution for getting to and from the weekend's events. We will help co-ordinate group collections and drop-offs.

For those planning to explore more of Menorca, we'd suggest getting a rental car which can be picked up and dropped off at Mahon airport and are very affordable if booked well in advance.

RADIO TAXI

There are no private Taxi companies on the island, and Uber doesn’t not exist, so please plan to arrange all your trips through licensed Taxis. There is just one central booking service called Radio Taxi.

You can book online () or on a 24 hour phone line: +34 971 367 111. The service is English speaking.

It is a busy time of year, so we would suggest arranging your Taxi trips in advance.

Plane

Travel to Menorca

Fly to Menorca Mahon Airport (MAH). There are regular direct flights from all major UK airports. All of the weekend's events and suggested accommodation are less than 30 minutes drive from the airport (and from each other).

Note

Accomodation

We strongly suggest booking accommodation early, as Menorca is a popular destination in June. There are many options for hotels, villas and AirBnb bookings in the nearby area.

We would love to keep the venue, Santa Ponsa (Fontenille Menorca), a surprise for the wedding day - so please don't book to stay here before hand! :)

We would advise looking for accommodation around the main Southern city of Mahon, or along the Southern Coast between Alcaufar and Santo Tomas.

We are co-ordinating with some local hotels to offer discounted rates for our guests, so see a few suggestions below.

Q & A

For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!

Is there a dress code for any of the events?

There is no dress code for any part of the celebrations. It will be a very relaxed weekend and you all know how to dress for an event like this, so just wear whatever makes you feel good.

Are kids welcome?

We aren't planning for children to attend any of the weekend's events. But of course, young babies in arms are welcome throughout. If you need any help arranging babysitting in Menorca, please let us know.

Do you have any recommendations for baby-sitting?

We know some of you will be bringing you little ones with you to Menorca. If you need any help with baby-sitting solutions, let us know. An agency that has been recommended to us is:

Is there a wedding list for gifts?

No. Some of you have been asking us about wedding gifts. Whilst we are very touched by this, we really don't expect anything from anyone. You're all already making a big effort and spending hard earned cash just to be there with us. So please don't feel like any other demonstration of your love is required!

For those of you who won't take no for an answer... If you would still like to give us something to mark the occasion, we can't think of anything we'd like more than an addition to our record collection. If you want to pick out some music on vinyl that means something to you, reminds you of a memory with us, or is just too good to be ignored - we would love to make it a treasured addition to our collection.

How can I organise Taxis?

There are no private Taxi companies on the island, and Uber doesn’t not exist, so please plan to arrange all your trips through licensed Taxis. There is just one central booking service called Radio Taxi.

You can book online (), via their app or on a 24 hour phone line: +34 971 367 111. The service is English speaking.

It is a busy time of year, so we would suggest arranging your Taxi trips in advance.

Whom should I call with questions?

In the run up to the wedding, please call or message Charlie (+44 7717 357498) or Ro (+44 7780 221434)

On the day of the wedding itself, we plan to be fully off line! So for anything last minute, please contact Rosanna’s sisters Christie (+44 7557 371843) or Steph (+44 7379 084819).
