FAQs

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is black tie. We politely ask that men wear tuxedos and women to wear floor length gown. Think of the Crawleys in Downton Abbey. Let's play dress up for a night!

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

It's hard to predict the weather, but historical average is high of 60's and low of mid 40's with a probability of rain of about 50/50. It's the UK after all.

Question

Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?

Answer

The ceremony will take place in the castle's dining room and the wedding breakfast (reception) will be in Henry VIII's banquet hall.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

We both don't do well outdoors, so both ceremony and reception will be held indoors.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

After the ceremony, we have booked a tour of the castle for the guests. Cocktail hour will follow the tour where guests can hangout in the castle library or inner hall where drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served.

Question

Are there other wedding events I can attend?

Answer

TBD

Question

What should I do if I can’t make it?

Answer

You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “No,” so we can plan accordingly.

Question

How do I get to the venue?

Answer

If you're staying in the castle grounds, simply walk over to the castle! If you're coming from Heathrow Airport and renting a car, take the M25 towards Kent and take Exit 8 (63 miles). Follow Ashford Road and the signs to Leeds Castle. If you're coming from Heathrow Airport and taking public transportation, we recommend taking the Picadilly Line to Earl's Court (12 stops) , Transferring to the District Line and get off at Victoria Station (4 stops) and then transferring to the Southeastern line and get off at Hollingbourne (HBN) Station (8 stops). The venue is about a 5 minute drive from Hollingbourne, so a taxi/uber might be necessary. If you're coming from London, we recommend taking the tube to Victoria Station and then take the Southeastern line and get off at Hollingbourne (HBN) Station (8 stops). The venue is about a 5 minute drive from Hollingbourne, so a taxi/uber might be necessary. Bus Shuttle from Victoria Station on the 10th of May, 2022: TBD.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 16:00, so we recommend being at the grounds an hour before to give time to make your way to the castle.

Question

Where should guests park? Is parking free?

Answer

Parking is for free, but we recommend driving into the back entrance. There is a guard house that could direct you to the parking area behind the stable courtyard.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

YES! But unfortunately, due to castle's policy, children are not allowed to stay inside the castle overnight.

Question

Will there be any vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/special diet options?

Answer

Yes, just let us know of any food allergies or special diet restrictions on the provided RSVP card.
