Dress code
Formal, black tie optional. We'll be dressed to the nines, and we'd love for you to join us!
Of course we hope the weather is kind to us and we will have gas heaters, but as the ceremony and part of the evening will be outside we recommend ladies to bring a coat or shawl.

Food and beverages
If you've ever dined at Rogue Bistro next door, you know what a treat we're in for. Grazing platters will be ready after the ceremony concludes, progressive canapes will then roam the reception, and all will be complemented by a selection of beer and wine, with spirits, cider, and ginger beer available for purchase if desired.
Phones and social media
We have engaged a really wonderful photographer, so we would like to request that during the ceremony you turn off all phones and cameras, and enjoy this special moment with us. Respectfully, we also ask that you refrain from uploading any photos of us until we have a chance to.
Gifts
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. However, should you wish to honour us with a gift, a contribution to our honeymoon would help to create memories that will last a lifetime. A wishing well will be available on the day.
RSVP
Please RSVP by 3rd May 2023.
If you are unable to make it, you will be missed! We just ask you let us know via your RSVP form.
