Females are encouraged to wear pastels of any colour and Males can wear any formal attire. However, please do wear whatever colour you feel comfortable in as long as its formal and doesn't involve a beret / string of garlic / marinière shirt unless of course you can demonstrate French citizenship on entry.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

While we would love to have everyone, the venue capacity is limited so please only bring a Plus 1 if they are mentioned on the invitation or Medjool in nature.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We would love to have all children but sadly venue capacity is limited and there is no facility for a creche. So we can only have children mentioned on the invitation. This applies equally to the offspring of humans and goats.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

There are a few rooms for hire in the venue for the Saturday night that can be reserved through us. The venue grounds also have really cool glamping tents available for hire. So please let us know if you are interested. Apart from those options, we would advise getting an Airbnb in Bristol: Clifton, City centre area. That is near the church and you can get a taxi to the venue which is about 20 minutes away from the church.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, please use the RSVP form to make us aware of any dietary requirements. For anyone who needs Halal, please also let us know as the venue might be able to source some Halal meat. We cannot unfortunately fulfil requests for those who only consume onion soup.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is on-street parking around the church and some spaces in the church car-park at the newer church building opposite the chapel. Please avoid nabbing the tennis club spaces! There is a lot of parking spaces at the venue, stewards will be at the venue to direct you to the right place.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Unfortunately we are unable to provide transport but there are a few guests driving who will be able to offer lifts. Let us know and we might be able to link you up with people. Otherwise, Uber and other taxis are available in Bristol.

Question

Will there be dancing?

Answer

We both love music and dancing so please bring your dancing shoes and your best moves. There will be a Jazz band (that William may have a vague connection with) and a DJ to provide us with tunes all night..:D

Question

Am an evening guest, what time shall I come to the venue?

Answer

We really want to celebrate as much of the reception with our evening guests to, so guests should arrive at 19:00 when we will aim to have the cake cutting , followed by first dance and then the party will begin!! There will also be evening food for all guests, so that you can be well fuelled to dance till 1:00am..:D

Question

Is there a gifts registry?

Answer

Yes, please look at the registry tab on our website. But if that is confusing and complicated, please let us know. If you were keen on purchasing wine, we would of course oblige, providing it was of the Gallic variety.
