The ceremony will start at 2pm, so please get there for 1:30pm.

We don’t have a registry and don’t feel like you need to give us anything, we’re just happy people are coming. If you do really want to give us something, we’ll happily accept contributions towards the eventual honeymoon.

Please RSVP by 20th March 2026 so we can get the full headcount to the venue :)

Due to numbers we are keeping our wedding day child free. We will however happily accommodate breastfeeding babies.

Except for a wedding dress you can wear whatever you fancy! Please note our wedding is outdoors with our reception in a tent therefore a jacket or coat might be a good idea in case it’s chilly. We also can’t guarantee the weather so it might be an idea to bring an umbrella just in case :)

We would advise against stiletto heels as there will be lots of walking on grass. Chunky heels and wedges would be fine but it might be an idea to bring flats.

Yes! We would love for you to take photos :) We would ask that you don’t take photos during the ceremony however.
