Welcome to our wedding site!
This site contains all the useful information you will need to know for the day.
See below for details about travelling to the wedding, accommodation you can book at the venue, food and drink available on the day, and the schedule.
Feel free to dress how you feel comfortable - smart casual or dress to impress, but make sure you bring your dancing shoes! You can check out our band Das Gruve on their Instagram page.
Please have a read and complete the RSVP form by 18th May 2025 for each person named on your invitation, to let us know whether you can make it, and if you have any dietary requirements.
Unfortunately, due to guest number restrictions, we have decided to only invite children in our families. We hope you will understand this decision and still join us to celebrate.
