Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 13:00 at Brighton Town Hall, so please arrive a little earlier to be seated and settled. The ceremony itself will last around 45 minutes.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
TBC. We’re still finalising plans for any additional gatherings. Let us know when you’re arriving and leaving the city, and once we have a better idea of numbers, we can look at organising something fun while everyone’s in Brighton.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes, the dress code is formal and elegant. Brighton can be quite cold and windy in November, so we’d recommend bringing a warm coat and possibly a sturdy umbrella. There will be space to store these once you’re inside.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We’re so sorry, but we’re not able to offer plus ones. Each guest has been invited individually, and due to space and budget constraints we’re keeping the guest list as it is. We hope you understand, and we’re really looking forward to celebrating with you.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes, children are welcome. Just a little heads up that the evening celebrations may be quite lively and loud, so please keep that in mind. Do let us know if you’d like us to make any specific food arrangements for them.

Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
We won’t be providing transport from hotels to the ceremony, so please make your own way to Brighton Town Hall. Transport from the ceremony to the reception will be provided. For everything else, you’ll need to make your own arrangements. Brighton is very walkable, depending on the weather, of course.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
For the most flexibility and value, we recommend booking an AirbnB. If you would prefer a hotel, good options to explore include Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront, Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel and West Beach Hotel Brighton. For more budget-friendly stays, you might like ibis Brighton City Centre – Station, Holiday Inn Brighton – Seafront by IHG or Travelodge Brighton Seafront. For large groups, check out: https://www.mygetaways.co.uk Accommodation in Brighton can be expensive, so we strongly suggest booking as early as possible.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There isn’t parking at the ceremony or reception venues, and Brighton can be quite expensive and restrictive when it comes to parking. We’re able to arrange visitor permits, which are usually the best option depending on where you’re staying. If you’ll need one, please let us know in advance how many days you'll require permits for.
