Questions

We hope we’ve answered some of the most common queries below, but if you have a question please do email us.

Do you have a wedding registry for gifts?

Having our friends and family with us on the day is the most important thing for us. If you want to give a gift, we would really appreciate any contribution to our honeymoon which you can do by clicking here.

When do I let you know my meal choice?

We will be in touch nearer the time with meal options to choose from. Children over the age of 3 will be offered a children's meal. All other children can have their own food (that the venue can warm up if necessary) or can share their parent's meal. Please get in touch if you have any other requirements.

Is there accomodation on-site?

There are a limited number of self-catering appartments available at the reception venue that we can offer on a first-come-first served basis. Please let us know if you would like to check their availability.

How do I let you know about any additional requirements?

When you submit your RSVP via the online form, we'll take any details about dietary and other additional requirements.

Is there a shuttle being organised between the ceremony and reception venue?

There is no shuttle organised between the church and reception venue, so we kindly ask guests to make their own way to the vineyard.

Do I have to post back my RSVP or can I RSVP online?

Please RSVP via the form on your invitation. If you have any issues, you can send us an email and we can get it sorted for you.

What if I can't attend anymore?

We'll be really sorry to not see you there, but totally understand situations change. Please let us know as soon as possible, as we may be able to use your place for somebody else.

Can I bring a plus one?

We're keeping the reception on the smaller side, so we do ask that only those formally invited attend.

When is the RSVP deadline?

The deadline for RSVPs is Saturday 1st March 2025. After that we won't be able to make any changes to the guest list, so please let us know as soon as possible.

Can I bring my children to the wedding?

Unless your little ones have been formally invited, we won't be able to accomodate any other children.
