FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive 30 - 45 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony, which begins promptly at 2:30p.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is formal, black tie optional. Black-tie optional means that guests have the option of wearing their most formal attire (think: an evening gown or tuxedo) but can also choose to wear a formal suit or cocktail dress instead.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be inside or outside?

Answer

If there is no chance of rain, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors in the garden. The reception will be held indoors. We recommended women wear block heels or flat shoes, in the event the ceremony and cocktail hour are outside.

Question

What weather should I expect?

Answer

English weather can be unpredictable. However, the weather in September should be beautiful. We recommended packing a rain jacket, hiking shoes/sneakers you don't mind getting dirty and clothes that can easily be layered. While the temperature may not be low, it will likely be damp, which will make it feel cooler.

Question

Is transportation provided to and from the wedding?

No. If you are staying in Askham, all accommodations are an easy walk to/from Askham Hall. If you are staying at George and Dragon, or another location outside of Askham, we recommend pre-booking a taxi.
