Do I need a visa to travel to Texas from my country?
If you are travelling from Germany, Iceland or the U.K. you will need to apply for an ESTA. Fee for application is $21.00 USD. It's recommended to apply at least 72 hours before your departure to the United States.
Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your period of stay in the United States.

When should I arrive in Gruene?
In general wedding guests will start arriving between April 12th-16th in Gruene Texas. We will be organizing a few activities leading up to the big day (see "Weddin Week Activites page).
If you can make it by Wednesday to Gruene, we would love for you to join us for our rehearsal dinner the evening before the wedding.
Travel Health Insurance
As you plan for our wedding celebration, please don’t forget to arrange travel health insurance for your trip. It’s always better to be safe than sorry! We recommend Allianz Travel, which offers comprehensive coverage for as little as €15 per year.
If you’d like, we can connect you with our contact person at Allianz—just let us know, and we’ll send you their email.
Car Rental
We recommend checking car rental options on Check24 or carjet.
Starting prices for a full week's rental with Europcar are approximately €350 for a small Mitsubishi and €460 for a Jeep Wrangler.
If you do not have the option to rent a car, please let us know, so we can organize a ride-sharing option.
