When selecting your accommodation, please bear in mind that we are arranging travel for guests on the day of our wedding and the day of our after-party. The coach will collect and drop guests off at a bus stop located in Vézac, Domme and Castelnaud-la-Chapelle. Please check the distance between your accommodation and the relevant pick-up point before the day of the wedding, as it may not be within a comfortable walking distance and you may need to arrange a taxi to your chosen pick-up point.
If you are planning on staying outside of these areas, then you will need to arrange your own transport to and from our wedding venue.
We are arranging travel for guests on the day of our wedding and the day of our after-party. A coach will collect guests from the following:
1:15pm – tourist carpark in Domme.
1:30pm – bus stop at Les Jardins de Marqueyssac.
1:45pm – bus stop at Tournpique, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle.
Please check the distance between your accommodation and the relevant pick-up point before the day of the wedding, as it may not be within a comfortable walking distance and you may need to arrange a taxi to your chosen pick-up point. Please note that should you need to arrange a taxi to your chosen pick-up point, you will need to book this at least four weeks in advance.
We kindly ask guests to ensure that they are at their chosen pick-up point waiting ahead of schedule. If you are late, the coach will not wait and we would hate for you to miss any of the celebrations.

Yes – as the sun will hopefully be shining, the ceremony will be outside.
Our reception will take place in a marquee.
Please make sure to dress appropriately and keep hydrated (not just with alcohol) throughout the day!
In order for our guests to be fully present with us during one of the most special moments of our lives, we are having an "unplugged" ceremony. We have professional photographers and a videographer who will capture those special moments.
After the ceremony, we encourage you to snap away but we respectfully request that you do not share any pictures or videos on social media, until we have had the opportunity to do so ourselves.
We are not hosting a formal welcome party/dinner the day before our wedding, so guests are welcome to relax and explore the area!
Our wedding will take place on 23 May 2026 and we will be hosting an after-party on 24 May 2026.
Our wedding is a formal occasion, so we kindly ask that you dress in formal attire for our special day.
Ladies – we invite you to bring out your best dresses for the occasion!
For the gentlemen attending our wedding, a classic suit and tie or suit trousers and a shirt are appropriate.
Our after-party is all about continuing the celebrations. There is no dress code – come as you are. If you are planning to take a dip in the pool, don't forget to pack your swimwear!
As much as we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives everyone a chance to relax and enjoy the festivities. The only exceptions will be our gorgeous flower girls and ring bearer.
We are only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation. If a plus one was included, their name will appear on your invitation and RSVP details.
Yes! We will be providing canapés and a three course meal at the wedding.
A hog roast will be provided at our after-party along with plenty of wedding cake, so come hungry!
We're happy to accommodate dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan and allergy friendly meals. Please be sure to indicate and specify any needs when you submit your RSVP, so that we can make the necessary arrangements.
There will be an open bar available during the wedding and the after-party, with a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Get ready to raise a glass (or two!) and celebrate with us.
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all.

To help us with our planning, please RSVP as soon as possible and by no later than 31 December 2025.
If we do not receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no', as we need to provide the venue and our caterers with a total guest count in a timely manner.

We appreciate your understanding.
