Cocktail dress - we'd love to see you dressed up, and don't be shy about being colourful! Our only request is that guests avoid wearing white or similar shades.
Most of the day will be indoors, however we will have our drinks reception outside if the weather permits.
We’ve decided to keep our own names after the wedding. Preferred address will be Emma Willis & Freddie Joyce Thank you!
Emma loves cards more than the average person, so we’d be thrilled to read yours! We don't expect gifts, but if you wish to give something, we’d love it if you'd consider helping some causes close to our hearts. Several loved ones won’t be with us due to illnesses, and we want to help support the work of these great charities. Please send any donations to the following account: Name: Emma Willis Sort code: 60-84-07 Account number: 69240420 Donations will be equally shared between: - Dementia UK (#1039404) - Cancer Research UK (#1089464) - Stroke Association (#61274)
We ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We have a professional photographer capturing everything, and we’d love for everyone to be fully present. Thank you for understanding. Feel free to take as many photos as you want during the rest of the day!
Unfortunately, we are unable to have plus ones. Therefore, we ask you to please not bring a plus one unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
Only children of our families are invited and are welcome through the day, until the end of the drinks reception which will conclude around 4pm. After the drinks reception, the rest of the day will be adults-only (18+). We’re really excited to celebrate with all of you!
Berkeley village has limited accommodation options, but there are a number of great hotels and other options in the area. Let us know if you're struggling to find something as we can share a long list of nearby accommodation that the castle has recommended to us.
