There is plenty of free parking at the venue. This is well signposted on the approach to Sopwell House.
Sopwell House, Cottonmill Ln, St Albans AL1 2HQ
Please wear something you will feel good in! We are opting for a formal dress code, but want our guests to feel comfortable. Our gorgeous bridal party will be wearing sage green and it goes without saying...but please don't wear white!
We are so grateful that a lot of our guests will be travelling long distances to be part of our special day and recognise some may wish to stay locally for the weekend. The day after the wedding, Saturday 30th May 2026, Josh's parents are hosting an open house (15 minutes away from the venue) for anyone who wishes to drop in. Food and drinks will be available to help yourself to and we will enjoy a more relaxed opportunity to catch up with anyone who wishes to pop in. There is absolutely no pressure to join - you may be sick of celebrating with us by then!
Both the ceremony and reception will take place on site at Sopwell House. The ceremony and reception will take place indoors, but hopefully if the weather is kind to us, the french doors will be open and we can have our canapés, drinks and photographs outside!
Please help us to keep to our schedule by arriving by 13:00pm. Our ceremony will be starting promptly at 13:30pm.
By road - St Albans is close to the M1 (J6), M25 (J21a) and the start of the M10 (J1). By bus - The nearest bus stop is approximately 10 minutes walk from the venue. By rail – St Albans has two stations: St Albans City and St Albans Abbey. Taxis - We can recommend local taxi companies if you wish to pre-book, or the venue staff will happily order you a taxi at the end of the evening.
At the start of 2026, we will send you a link to this website requesting you select your meal choices. We will be serving canapés after the ceremony, the wedding breakfast (of which you will choose your starter, main and dessert in advance), and a snack in the evening.
No, we're having an adults-only celebration.
