We're collecting RSVPs digitally. You'll have received a message from one of us with the RSVP link. There's a short form to complete, and once that's done, you're golden!
If you have already completed your RSVP and need to update any of the information you've submitted, please don't submit a new one. Just contact us as soon as possible and we'll get it sorted.
25th July 2025
Your invitation has the names of everyone invited, or clearly indicates a plus one. If you're not sure whether yours includes a guest or not, please contact us as soon as possible and we'll figure it out before the seating plans are printed.
Unless we've explicitly agreed this with you already, please assume it's a no. We're keeping things mostly adults-only so everyone (including you) can relax, eat, and dance without worrying about juice spills, nap times, or snack logistics.
That said, there will be a few exceptions - you might spot some very new humans, or little ones who've travelled a long way to be here.
Grab a drink, find somewhere comfortable to sit, and start judging everyone else's outfits while you wait.
The main event. Watch us make this thing legal.
Disclaimer: if Mark says "my wife" in the Borat voice, the whole thing gets called off.
Spoiler alert: it's not breakfast, it's dinner. (We know, we were confused too.)
Well, it's technically dinner and a show, because you'll be enjoying a lovely meal while our closest friends and family mercilessly roast us in their speeches.
Whether you're just arriving or you've been emotionally held hostage since lunchtime, it's all downhill from here in the best possible way.
The sun's down, the music's up, the drinks are working. Time to lower the tone.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Well... unless you are staying here. But you know what we mean.
It's time for even the most hardcore among us to gracefully stumble off to our respective beds.
We're planning a relaxed Sunday lunch at a nearby pub for anyone sticking around.
There was an option on the RSVP to let us know if you'd like to join, but if you've changed your mind since then, please contact us as soon as possible.
How to get here, where to park, how to get home, and what time to arrive (in case you want to stop for a meal deal beforehand).
If we've invited you for the whole day: please aim to arrive from 1:30 PM. The ceremony starts at 2:30 PM. If you turn up after the bride, you'll be left standing awkwardly outside, listening to our vows through a closed door.
If you're joining us for the evening reception: please aim to be with us from around 7:00 PM, when the party properly kicks off.
There's plenty of free parking at the venue.
There's wheelchair access directly into the ceremony room and, once inside, you'll be able to get around the whole ground floor and outdoor terrace.
You'll have already given us this information in your RSVP, but if anything's changed or you forgot to mention something, please contact us as soon as possible.
Once we're aware of any requirements, we'll liaise with the venue to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you on the day.
We'll be too busy getting married and drunk to organise this, so we've listed some local taxi numbers below.
Alternatively, you could always make friends with a guest who understands how Uber works and ask them for help.
We'll be serving a three-course meal. It's a fully vegetarian menu (don't worry, it's still delicious), and, if you're a day guest, you'll have made your food choices in your RSVP.
There'll be cake (obviously), and some snacks served around 9pm.
You'll have already given us this information in your RSVP, but if anything's changed or you forgot to mention something, please contact us as soon as possible.
There will, of course, be a bar. (Have you met the bride?)
[BAR INFO TBC]
Drink whatever you like, and as much as you like, but know your limits and always be nice to the bar staff.
Ashfield House has a limited number of rooms, so we've prioritised immediate family, the wedding party, and guests travelling from overseas.
If you've got a room at the venue, you'll have heard from us already with the details. If not, you'll need to arrange your own accommodation if you're planning an overnight stay.

We don't have a gift registry because we don't need more stuff and, let's be honest, you probably don't really want to buy us a set of towels, do you?
We're genuinely just happy you're going to be there to celebrate our wedding with us.
We know that's might make some people uncomfortable, so here's the deal: if you really want to give something, and it feels right to you, we'll be very grateful to receive it.
If you'd rather help fund our honeymoon, a donation towards that would mean a lot too. You can do that via this magic Monzo link, or with cash on the day.
If you have something personal you think we'll love, we'll absolutely treasure it.

Wear something wedding-appropriate that you feel great in, and you'll look beautiful and fit right in.
If you're feeling extra and want to theme-match, the wedding has a rustic autumnal vibe. Think burnt orange, deep reds, sage or moss greens, mustard yellow - anything that looks like it could've fallen off a very stylish tree.
You're not the only one, and we've planned ahead. We'll sit you with people you know or people we're confident you'll get on with. Best case, you'll walk away with a new friend. Worst case, you'll have someone to exchange a few side-eyes with during the speeches.
And if you spot someone hovering solo near the bar, please go and say hello. Everyone we've invited is wonderful and worth getting to know.
Yes, go wild - just not during the ceremony, please.
Snap away for the rest of the day and share however you like - we just ask that you don't post any photos of the couple on social media.
Oh, and keep an eye out for Katie, our lovely photographer. We've given her permission to rugby tackle anyone who gets in the way of her shots.
Whichever table you're at is the best table for you, darling. Each seat was assigned based on a series of complex vibe-related calculations.
If you're asking about the top table, though, you'd need to be marrying one of us or be one of our parents. Unclear how you'd manage that at this stage, but we're interested to see you try.
Yas kings. Disco lives.
You had the chance to request up to three songs with your RSVP. If the spirit's moved you again since, feel free to contact us with more. If the spirit moves us back, we'll add it.
Sadly not. They refused to get certified as emotional support animals.
Yes. And you probably won't be the first. Just don't get any gnarly feet in our wedding photos, please.
Yes, and you've already had it: the pleasure of reading some extremely well-written FAQs. You're welcome.
