Good to know

Dress code

Smart, wedding-guest. Wear whatever makes you feel wonderful — autumn colours are warmly encouraged. Comfortable shoes are a good idea, there will be a lot of dancing.

Unplugged ceremony

Please keep phones away during the ceremony so our photographer can do their job. For the rest of the day, photograph everything — we are rather counting on it.

Dietary needs

Tell us when you RSVP and the kitchen will look after you.

Please be punctual

The ceremony starts at one o'clock sharp. Please be seated by quarter to.
