questions

FAQ

Where should I stay?

Accommodation is not provided, so please feel free to stay anywhere in London that suits your plans and budget. We will share a short list of suggested affordable hotels here soon.

Can I wear a colour or style that is not in the inspiration photos?

Please choose a material and style you feel comfortable in. Midi and floor-length looks are ideal, and the dress code is cocktail formal. The inspiration photos are there to guide the colour palette; we ask that outfits stay within those tones and avoid anything very bright.

Can I change between the ceremony and the evening reception?

Unfortunately, there will not be time to change. Please come to the town hall fully dressed and ready to spend the whole day in your best look.

Will there be food between the ceremony and reception?

Yes. We will not leave you hungry or thirsty between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm.

Will there be late-night food?

Yes. We will not let you go to bed hungry.

Is there an afterparty?

Nothing formal is planned, but if a group wants to carry on at the end of the night, we are up for it. There are plenty of places nearby in London.

What should we bring as a gift?

Your presence is genuinely the gift. We are lucky to already have a shared home, so there is no registry. If you would still like to contribute, you are welcome to put something towards our honeymoon. Cash on the day is lovely, and bank details will be added here soon.
