A common question is whether you can take photos or videos during the wedding. ABSOLUTELY! We just kindly request that during the ceremony you keep your phones and cameras away in your bags / pockets, AND ON SILENT/OFF!! We have hired an incredible content team who will be snapping away during the ceremony. We don't want a sea of phones in the images or any interruptions, we really want to just enjoy the moment with you. After the ceremony fire away! Please don't post any photos including the bride & groom until we have posted ourselves. Once we have posted, please share away. If you post any on socials, please tag us!
On the Friday evening, we will be meeting for a drink! We think the bar has some food you can grab, but this is tbc For the wedding day, you will be welcomed with a drink.

For the party, we have the amazing Joe's bar joining us to serve us drinks & cocktails!! On our pool party day - we have hired someone to make us pizza, along with a gelato van. We will also have a small selection of wines/beers, if you can handle any more! Along with soft drinks and lots of water. As you may all know, we are both vegetarian and deeply care about animals, for this reason there won't be any meat at our wedding. Our caterers are truly amazing.

Typically mild weather, with average daytime temperatures in the mid-20s. Though it cools down in the evenings so bring a light jacket. Expect plenty of sunshine and warm sea temperatures, making it ideal for swimming. While rainfall is possible, it usually occurs in short, infrequent bursts, and the humidity is relatively low.
