We can appreciate that the timelines are shorter than expected but please RSVP no later than Sunday 15th June 2025. We need this to ensure correct numbers are provided to our vendors. If we do not hear from you by this day, unfortunately, we will have to assume you are unable to attend.
Due to limited numbers, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you have been given a plus one, it will be indicated under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding.
Our ceremony will start promptly at 2pm. We kindly ask you to arrive at the venue 30 minutes early to allow the ceremony to start on time (1:30pm). This will allow you to find parking and take your seat. If you arrive after the ceremony has begun, you may not be seated and will have to wait until the start of the cocktail hour.
While we love your little ones, due to limited numbers, we have decided to only invite children within our immediate family. If your child is included in these numbers, their names will be listed on your RSVP. We encourage you to take the night off!
We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony starts we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. The greatest gift you can give us is to be fully present as we say 'I do'. We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us which we will of course share with you after. However, feel free to take as many pictures and videos as you like, after the ceremony.
You'll be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly
