Frequently Asked Questions
Here's some common questions we've been asked about the wedding in case it's helpful, though please just drop us a message if there's anything else you'd like to know!
Will there be a formal invite at some point?
Yes, formal invites are being sent out currently, giving you a way to RSVP and let us know any guest details. If you haven't received one by the end of February, please let us know!
How do I RSVP?
Use the RSVP page!
Where is the wedding taking place?
Have a look at our venue page for all for all the wedding village location, directions, and accommodation.
Can I bring fireworks?
Unfortunately not, as the venue is very close to local farms and wildlife.
Can I bring my dog?
We are very sad to say that dogs aren't allowed in the wedding village.
Can I bring my chidren?
You can, this is completely up to you. We're expecting at least a couple of small children at the wedding (including Lola) so you won't be alone.
We also know some couples will be intentionally using the wedding as an excuse to escape and that is okay too, you can do that guilt-free!
If you are bringing children, please include them as a guest when you RSVP so we can make sure we have everything prepared so they can have a great time too!
Do I need to join in for everything or is it okay if I just chill in my pod?
Completely up to you! We want you to feel comfortable and enjoy your stay so you join in for as much or as little as you like. The pods are all yours from the moment you check in so feel free to relax and enjoy quiet time in them too!
What time should I arrive for the wedding if arriving on the day itself?
Guests will be seated for the ceremony at 12:45, so please make sure you're at the venue and ready before then, 12:30 would be a sensible target to aim for!
If you arrive early there'll be people around to point you in the right direction, and you will be able to wait with other guests in the wedding village, a few will already be there from the night before, so you won't be alone no matter how early you get there!
Will there be somewhere for getting ready before the wedding?
The wedding village pods are spacious enough that getting ready shouldn't be a problem but for something more socialable we have a dedicated makeup shack for beautifying yourself with company.
For bridesmaids we'll be getting ready in the cottages, which has a dedicated room for make up and hair.
What should I wear?
For the wedding day itself fancy it up, most people will be wearing the usual wedding garb of suits and fancy dresses. It will be summer, so make sure you're comfortable.
We haven't finalised colours yet, if you're worried about colour clashing or accidentally matching the bridesmaids just drop us a message.
For all other times, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
What if I have a dietary restriction?
Tell us about dietary requirements as part of your RSVP. We'll then use this info to make sure we have suitable food and drinks for anyone staying in the wedding village the night before as well as working with the wedding day caterers to make sure there is food everyone can enjoy on the day itself.
Can I leave the wedding village during my stay?
Absolutely, you're free to come and go as you please (aside from being there for ceremony and main celebrations after!). We'll provide maps of the local area so if you want to, you can go for a walk or run nearby.
Do I need to bring any food or drink with me for the evening before?
For those coming the day before, we will be providing food and drink so there's no need to bring anything, though if you would like to bring your own that's fine too!
There are bottle fridges available at the village to store drinks and we'll have pizza ovens running, so feel free to get creative if you do bring anything along!
I'm invited to pre-wedding festivities but I'm not staying on site?
That's not a problem! You'll just need to leave by 10pm as the venue requests that only guests staying on site remain after this time.
I'm invited to pre-wedding festivities but I can't make it until late?
No problem! Just join us from whenever you're able to after 4pm.
