Question

What about COVID-19?

Answer

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be unpredictable, but at this time we are moving forward as planned. Our ceremony and reception is outdoors, so there is plenty of room for social distancing. Masks are only required when entering the Manor House. If you have not been vaccinated, we kindly ask that you get tested the week prior to attending the wedding for your safety and the safety of others.

Question

Can I take pictures or videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests turn their phones off during the ceremony, so that we can all be present for this moment. But don't worry! We've hired professional photographers and videographers to work silently in the background to capture all the emotions of the day. Phones can be used once the ceremony is over. Thank you!

Question

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

Answer

Because we are serving dinner buffet-style, we don't have the option to separately plate meals. However, each dish will have a placard in front of it indicating what ingredients it contains. If you have specific concerns please reach out to us!
