FAQs

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Due to limited numbers we are unable to extend this invitation to children who are not named on your invite. We hope you will see this as an opportunity to enjoy an ADULT day, let your hair down and that you are still able to join us on our special day. If you are unable to make arrangements, give us a call and we might be able to help!

Question

Is there parking available at Old Forest School?

Answer

Yes, there is but it is minimal. The venue only allow 30 parked cars and that includes suppliers and caterers. We would really appreciate those who are not traveling by bus to travel in car loads to reduce the number of parked cars.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the wedding?

Answer

Yes, we have hired a bus, please see the travel page for details and once you have received your invitation let us know in the RSVP section whether you require a seat!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No, we want you to be comfortable to enjoy the day and celebrate with us. The ceremony will be outside and should the weather decide to be unfavourable we can have the ceremony inside the school house. There will be some garden games for everyone to enjoy and if you're anything like us you'll need to strip down a layer or 2 to get into competitive mode! The reception will be held in an indoor/outdoor barn so remember to bring something to throw over your shoulders for the evening just in case. Also, if you suffer from allergies make sure you have taken antihistamines, eye drops etc. and bring some with you just in case because we are surrounded by trees, grass and pollen pollen pollen.

Question

What kind of shoes should I / shouldn't I wear?

Answer

The grounds consist of grass and the reception area is on gravel so perhaps ladies the stiletto heels will be better off at home for this one (in fact our hosts ask that no stiletto heels are worn inside the school house as the floors are original)!

Question

Can I bring a gift?

Answer

When thinking of a gift for us we ask if you'd please consider contributing to our honeymoon to make it all the sweeter, Our house is full of all the things a couple require, and so a holiday away is what we desire, Then while we're relaxing on the beach or by the pool so blue we'll sit back and know that its truly thanks to you. If you are interested please contact Luke's sister Haleigh who will discuss options and details with you. haleighobrien@gmail.com
