FAQs
Question
What is the dress code for the wedding?
Answer
Formal attire, suits / ties / dresses / jumpsuits etc etc. (You know the drill)
Question
Where will the wedding ceremony and reception take place?
Answer
Everything will take place at the same location: The Barn at Upcote, Upcote Farm, Cheltenham, Withington, Cheltenham GL54 4BL
Question
What time should we arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
You can arrive from 1:30pm. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 2:00pm, so please make sure you are no later than 1:50pm, so we have enough time to get everyone seated.
Question
Is there parking available at the venue?
Answer
Yes, I've attached a picture of the car park in the Gallery section of the website (lucky you!). I've made a very high quality graphic depicting how many cars approximately fit - I reckon around 34 if we all park poorly. There's 88 guests invited, but so long as we have car shares / taxi users, I reckon there'll be plenty of space :)
Question
Are children invited to the wedding?
Answer
Of course! Be sure to confirm if your child is attending on your RSVP so we can discuss their requirements with the caterer (e.g. high chairs / kids menus etc.).
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
As this is an intimate wedding with all of our favourite people, we would like to kindly ask that you do not bring a plus one. Everyone who is invited has been explicitly named on the RSVP section of the website, and on the envelopes of your invitations.
Question
Is there a gift registry, and where can I find it?
Answer
We have an area on the website for gifts, although most of it is contributions towards our honeymoon or more expensive household items (like a new mattress, lawnmower etc.). As we have lived together for more than 5 years now, we already have everything we need! If you don't want to contribute to our honeymoon or a new mattress (lol), just your presence at our wedding is enough :)
Question
What are the accommodations options near the venue?
Answer
You can find this information on the 'accommodations' section of this website. Alternatively, pull up google maps, type in the Barn at Upcote address, and search 'accommodations' ;)
Question
Will transportation be provided for any element of the wedding?
Answer
No, please make your own way to the venue (whether this be through taxi, car sharing, or your own car). Equally, you'll have to make arrangements to depart from the venue as there is no on-site accomodation.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We really want you to be supporting us for this special part of the event. As such, if you could kindly turn your phones to silent and keep them away during the ceremony, it would be greatly appreciated. We also have a photographer booked for the day to take photos for this moment of the wedding! You're more than welcome to take photos at any point after the Ceremony.
Question
Is there a theme or colour scheme for the wedding?
Answer
The colour scheme is dark navy and white. Not really much of a theme, though you may find the odd nod to Minecraft here and there throughout the day ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Question
What should I do if I can’t attend?
Answer
Please select "Will Not Attend" on the RSVP section of the website. Alternatively, please message Matt or I through WhatsApp or Messenger so we can keep an up-to-date log of attendees.
Question
Will food and drinks be provided, and what are the menu options?
Answer
Drinks: x2 glasses of pimms or two bottles of beer per person (and unlimited soft drinks) 1/2 bottle of wine per person for wedding breakfast (and unlimited soft drinks) x1 Champagne flute for speech toasts Unlimited Tea and Coffee from wedding breakfast onwards (TBC) On-site bar all day, and for evening (you will have to purchase these drinks yourselves) Food: Ice cream van and sweet cart during reception Afternoon Tea for wedding breakfast (Menu TBC, but please reach out if you have any dietary concerns about this) Fish and chip van for evening food (options of battered cod, battered/jumbo sausage, fish cakes, chicken fillet burger, chicken fillet chunks, veggie/vegan cake, burger, and pie) I would recommend having lunch before you arrive (around 12pm), so you don't go hungry!

How can I RSVP for the wedding?
