Please arrive at the venue NO later than 15 minutes before the ceremony; you can arrive as early as 12pm. This will allow time for you to park and find your seat. Should you arrive after the start of the ceremony, you will not be able to gain entry and will need to wait until the start of cocktail hour to enter.
The evening will draw to close at 11:30pm. Guests are kindly asked to arrange Taxis for this time.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate you if you RSVP late. We need to provide our venue and suppliers the exact guest count by a certain date. Please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible.
We are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Please respect our wishes as we're trying to keep our wedding an intimate celebration. Thank you so much for understanding!
Due to restrictions on numbers, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adult-only event, with the exception of immediate family.
We are having an unplugged ceremony (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do". We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like!
Whilst we welcome you to share our special day, we kindly request that guests do not post any photos of the Bride and Groom on social media until we have had the opportunity to do so first.
We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! We request that everyone adhere to your best formal wear or a summer cocktail dress code - think wearing colour, lighter fabrics and florals. We politely ask you refrain from wearing shades of white, jeans or denim.
The venue has a strict policy regarding bringing your own alcohol onto the premises. A large security deposit will be lost so please refrain from bringing any bottles/hip flasks with you. It is also important to note that Bassmead Manor Barns is a cashless venue so please only bring card as a form of payment on the day.
A small number of rooms are available on site at Appletree Cottage which have been reserved for the bridal party. A list of local accommodation and travel alternatives can be found under the 'Travel' section.
Yes! There is a car park at the venue that cars can be left at but will need to be collected by 10am the following morning.
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift! If you'd like to give something more, we would be grateful for a contribution to our honeymoon fund.
