Questions
Questions, answered
The ones we get asked most. If yours isn’t here, ask either of us — we genuinely don’t mind.
01 What should I wear?
Formal attire, please. Gentlemen, suits. Ladies, long dresses are encouraged. We would love everyone to stick to rich, earthy autumn tones.
There is a full page of guidance, with a palette and reference photographs, on the Dress Code page.
02 What time should I arrive?
Please arrive by 1:45 PM to find your seat before the ceremony begins at 2:00 PM sharp.
03 Where are the ceremony and reception?
The ceremony is at St Mary's Church in Nettleton. The reception follows at The Manor House, Castle Combe, roughly ten minutes away by car.
Leave a little extra time for the drive between them — it is a lovely stretch of countryside.
04 Will there be parking?
Yes. On-site parking is available at both St Mary's Church in Nettleton and The Manor House, Castle Combe.
05 Where should we stay?
All wedding guests are invited to stay at The Manor House on the night of the wedding at no cost. Rooms will be assigned in advance.
For nights either side of the wedding, the Travel page lists our recommendations in the village and in Bath.
06 Can I bring a plus-one?
If your invitation includes a plus-one, their name will be listed on your RSVP.
07 What about dietary restrictions?
Please let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies when you RSVP, and we'll pass them on to the kitchen.
08 Will there be an open bar?
We'll be providing a selection of wine and champagne, along with our signature cocktails. For those who prefer other options, additional cocktails will be available for purchase at the bar.
Still wondering something?
Just message either of us directly. Much better than guessing on the day.
