Questions & Answers

Ceremony

We're hoping the weather will be fabulous so that we can have our ceremony outside! Though, we are aware this is October, so please have an extra layer just in case.

(Of course, if it's raining, we'll move inside for the ceremony)

Dress Code

We would like you to be comfortable at our wedding, so please don't feel like you need to dress in formal attire. Smart-casual is very welcome (not forgetting an evening layer to stay warm!)

However, we do ask to avoid the deep greens when choosing the colour of your outfits.

Wedding Gifts

We love presents! Who doesn't?! However, we aren't in need of the traditional 'new home items' that are often associated with wedding gifts. 

If you would like to gift us a physical item, there’s a link to a selection of things we’d love to receive, but we'd also welcome monetary gifts to help fund our honeymoon!

Additional Guests & Children

Due to limited space at the venue, we can only accommodate those invited. If we've offered you a plus one it will be noted on your invitation in order to RSVP.

We have also decided to keep our wedding for adults only. We encourage you to use this as a date night to get out and have fun!

Late RSVPs

Whilst we'll do out best to accommodate those who reply after Friday 31st July, we are restricted by deadlines set to us by the venue - allowing ample time to create seating plans, organise dietary requirements, etc - so please get your RSVPs in as soon as you can!

Photography

There will be a professional photographer at our wedding, but please do take photos throughout the day! - you will be able to upload all of them to this website the day after our wedding.

Our only requests are please don't take photos during the ceremony, and please don't post any photos on social media.
