Luise & Niklas
– 11 & 12 July 2025 –
We have found each other.
Our journey began in the 1980s… already with some of you!
It had, like every life journey, its highs and lows.
It led both of us across many wondrous places and continents (and even Vienna).
After a long life journey, this path led us to each other.
„Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence,"
– Erich Fromm
You have been by our side for so many years!
We would love to have you by our side for this next step as well.
That's why we invite you to celebrate our step into a new, shared life with us!
We would love to embark on this new chapter of our lives together with you!
We invite you to celebrate this party of love and life with us!
Wine Tasting on July 11, 2025, in the evening in Langenlois
Langenlois is located in a wine region known for its excellent wineries, such as Bründlmayer, Loimer, or Weingut Christoph Edelbauer. Additionally, there is the Loisium Wine World. We plan to explore these and other options and organize a wine tasting on Friday evening. Of course, there will also be non-alcoholic beverages and some snacks.
Wedding on July 12, 2025, from 1:00 PM at the Arche Noah in Schiltern
On Saturday, starting at 1:00 PM, we will have the wedding ceremony, a reception, and celebration in the display gardens of Arche Noah in Schiltern, about 10 km from Langenlois. We will arrange shuttles (see "Getting to and from" below), but having a car provides more flexibility. The Arche Noah is undoubtedly a beautiful place, and we are already excited to celebrate this day with you there!
Dress Code: Since there was some confusion, here’s a more detailed explanation. 😉
When we were looking for a photographer for the wedding, we came across a lot of wedding photos. In one of them, there was a little girl wearing a bright red dress. Of course, she looked adorable, but the bright red dress was always the first thing to catch the eye in the photos. That’s when we decided that bold colors might not be ideal. However, all muted or pastel colors, as well as beige tones, etc., are absolutely welcome. In the end, the most important thing to us is that you feel comfortable! If you’d like to see the wedding mood board, you can do so here.
Further details about both days will follow.
What is the Arche Noah?
The Arche Noah (Noah’s Ark) in Schiltern is a nonprofit organization committed to preserving and promoting the diversity of our cultivated plants since 1989. Founded by gardeners, farmers, and journalists, the organization’s mission is to put seeds – the basis of our nutrition – back into the hands of people. Given the dramatic loss of around 75% of agricultural biodiversity since the beginning of the 20th century, alongside threats from genetic engineering, seed monopolies, and climate change, the Arche Noah plays a key role in safeguarding this precious heritage.
Through its work, the Arche Noah ensures that thousands of endangered vegetable, fruit, and grain varieties not only survive but return to gardens and markets, which is particularly important for ensuring food security in the face of climate change. Supported by over 17,000 members and donors, the organization actively contributes to making our food more sustainable and resilient. The Arche Noah is a key element for sustainable agriculture in Austria and ensures a vibrant and diverse plant world for future generations.
We believe this is a fitting place to begin our new life, our future, together with you!
The garden kitchen, which will cater for our celebration, uses mainly regional and seasonal organic products from its own production or small farmers and producers in the surrounding area.
What to do?
Please book your accommodation early.
Since Langenlois is a popular area and hotels do not allocate room blocks, we recommend booking accommodation as early as possible to secure a nice place to stay. We recommend the following options:
Loisium Langenlois: A modern four-star hotel in vineyards with 112 rooms and suites, a spa club with a heated outdoor pool.
Vierzigerhof: Ten rooms in an old traditional farmhouse with a beautiful courtyard.
For more budget-friendly options, consider pensions and private rooms like Gästehaus Helm Klingelhuber or Gästezimmer im Weinbau Hagmann.
Other options can be found on the Langenlois Tourism Association's website.
When choosing accommodations, please consider the distances. If you are not arriving by car, we suggest booking accommodation in Langenlois, close to the main square. Langenlois is easily accessible by train from Vienna (see “Getting to and from”), and on Saturday, we will arrange carpooling or shuttles from Langenlois to Schiltern and back. If staying outside of Langenlois, you will need a car or taxi.
Please let us know if you can join us!
