A few questions we’ve had so far…

Q - Does the venue have parking?

A - Yes - there are spaces available at the front of the venue and around the back. There will be staff on site to help with any parking queries.

Q - What kind of food will you be having?

A - Food is a main priority for us as foodies - we understand the panic of whether you will be left hungry on the day! We will be posting a full menu run down for the day as soon as it is confirmed. We will make sure your stomachs are well looked after. But PLEASE make sure you RSVP with any dietary requirements to make sure you are catered for.

Q - Do you have a gift list?

A - We genuinely mean it when we say that gifts are not necessary; we are just so grateful that people are spending the time and money to be there to celebrate with us. However, we appreciate that some people would still like to contribute and if this is the case then a ‘small’ contribution towards the honeymoon would be greatly appreciated (but, to reiterate… really not necessary!)

Q - Are you having a DJ in the evening?

A - Do not worry… we have thought very carefully about your entertainment throughout the whole day and the evening is no exception! We will be having a live band and DJ set to get you up on the dancefloor.

Q - What time does the bar shut?

A - The bar will close for a short time at 12am; after this, it will re-open for any hotel guests staying at the venue wanting to continue the party into the early hours…

Q - What time is Check in and Check out?

A - Check in time is from 3pm-6pm, overnight bags can be left at reception before this time. (Guests are advised to arrive dressed for the Wedding ceremony) 

Check out is 11.00am for all guests.  

Breakfast is included in the above room prices and is served between 8.00am-10.00am. 

The ‘Official’ Photos

Our photographer and videographer will be with us throughout the day, capturing all of the ‘little’ moments. We have also planned in a couple of quirky opportunities for some more fun and relaxed photos that will include all of our guests, so we get to remember the special day with everyone included.

However, there will be a small slot to get the ‘traditional’ shots that we would like family and friends to be aware of to make sure you are readily available, have already had your toilet break (mums) and have not spilt anything down yourselves (dads). We want this to be as quick and painless as possible so we can get back to mingling with our guests, so efficiency will greatly appreciated (from the bride!)

*Groomsman/Bridesmaid photos will be taken pre-ceremony

*We have deliberately kept this list short as we are anticipating a hot day, so don’t want people waiting around and also want the majority of our photos to be candid to capture the genuine moments, and to not all look the same. However, if there was a particular photo you would like with us just get in touch so we can add it to the list!
