Travel Information for Our U.S. Guests

We are so excited to celebrate with you in England! To help make your travel experience as smooth as possible, we wanted to share a few important details for entering the United Kingdom from the United States.

Passport Requirements

All travelers must have a valid U.S. passport. We recommend ensuring your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.

Entry Requirements

U.S. citizens can travel to the United Kingdom for tourism without a visa for short stays. However, travel requirements can change, so we strongly encourage everyone to review the most current entry guidelines before departure.

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization)

The United Kingdom is implementing an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) requirement for U.S. travelers. Guests should apply online prior to travel and allow enough time for approval before departure.


Can you provide more information on how to obtain an ETA?

Guests should apply directly through the official UK Government website or the official “UK ETA” mobile app. Official Application Website: UK ETA Application Portal Official Mobile App: UK ETA App for iPhone UK ETA App for Android What You Will Need To complete the application, you will need: A valid U.S. passport Access to your email A credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay A smartphone or device with a camera During the application process, you will: Take a photo of your passport Scan the passport chip (through the app) Take a photo/selfie Answer a few basic travel and security questions Submit payment The application typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Cost The current ETA fee is £20 per person. Processing Time Most approvals are received within minutes or within 1–3 business days, though guests are strongly encouraged to apply well in advance of travel in case additional review is needed. Important Notes Your ETA is linked directly to the passport used during the application. You must travel with the same passport used to apply. The ETA is valid for two years (or until your passport expires). Please only use the official UK Government website or app to avoid third-party scam websites charging unnecessary fees.

Will there be transportation to the wedding and back?

Hop aboard our iconic red London bus! We’ll be providing group transportation to and from the wedding venue, with departure from the Conrad Hotel. Please plan to meet there — no matter where you’re staying — so we can all enjoy the ride together on this classic London experience! Please arrive a few minutes early, the bus will be arriving at 1:45pm and leaving PROMPTLY at 2:00pm The bus will return to the Conrad at 11:00 PM, once the celebration comes to a close. Complimentary shuttle service will be provided at the scheduled departure times. If you choose to leave earlier, we kindly ask that you arrange your own transportation via Uber, Lyft, or taxi.

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Semi Formal - Dress to impress! Semi-formal in London style means suits or dressy separates for men, and maxi, midi or statement dresses for women. We’d love for guests to lean a little more dressy than casual to mark the occasion.

Where do we park?

Please note that the venue does not permit outside parking. We strongly encourage all guests to use the complimentary transportation provided, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

What will the weather be like?

August is summertime in London, and the weather is generally pleasant and mild, with average highs around 72°F (22°C). While occasional showers can happen, we’re preparing for a beautiful day and will celebrate joyfully in any weather. We recommend bringing a light jacket or umbrella, just in case. London weather likes to keep things interesting!

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

We’re finalizing the logistics, but the ceremony will take place indoors, where everyone can relax and enjoy. The cocktail hour is planned for outdoors, weather permitting, followed by an indoor reception for dinner and dancing. If any details change, we’ll be sure to update this website — please check back closer to the date for the latest information.

What is tipping culture like?

Restaurants: 10-15% tip, although some restaurants will already include a service charge. Pubs: tipping is not expected. Taxis: rounding up your fare to the nearest pound is considered polite. Hotels: it is considered customary to tip your bellhop, etc.

When should I RSVP?

We kindly ask that all of our guests let us know whether they can or cannot make it as soon as they know. If you know you are unable to attend prior to the formal invitations being sent out, please fill out the RSVP questionnaire on our website.
