Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take pictures?

Absolutely! We ask for phones/cameras away during the ceremony. The photographer will let you know when there’s an opportunity to take photos at the end of the ceremony. Aside from that, we would love to see the day from your perspective! Please do wait until after we have made a social media post before posting yourself.

Will there be refreshments?

Of course! There will be free drinks after the ceremony, water and free flowing wine during the meal and an open bar all day.

Please do not bring outside alcohol into the venue as we will be heavily fined.

Are children allowed?

We have made the decision not to include children in the day. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We, of course, love the children in our lives but the day we have planned is not something they would enjoy.

What’s the parking situation?

There will be enough space for everyone with the venue’s two car parks.

Where can I stay?

If you have a room available at the venue, we will be in touch to let you know.

What would you like as a wedding gift?

Your presence is a gift enough! However, if you would like to give us an extra gift, we would appreciate some honeymoon spending money. If you would like, you could put this in the locked postbox on the day or send it to us via bank transfer.

Can we bring confetti to throw?

Absolutely! However, the venue stated that only confetti made from fresh or dried flower petals is allowed.
