THE WEDDING DAY
We are so excited to celebrate our marriage, and we really hope that you can share this day with us.
​
As it has been a challenging year for many of us, we have decided to take a relaxed approach to our day to ensure that the focus of the wedding is spending time with our friends and family, something we’ve both been yearning for over the past year.
​
Guests are welcome from 12:00pm, with the main event starting at 12.30pm hopefully open air in the lush gardens of Acorn Barn*. In line with our chilled vibe we have opted to have our event catered by street food vendors. There will be plenty of food and music to keep us partying well into the night.
We will be providing drinks for the toast and there will be a bar which we will try to keep reasonably stocked, but luckily the venue is also pretty chilled and does not have a corkage charge so feel free to bring your own drinks too.
​
*Acorn barn is situated in beautiful gardens and we are hoping that weather permitting the majority of the day will be outside, but there will be plenty of space to get away from the scorching sun (fingers crossed) .
​
With hopefully the majority of the day outside in the sun, comfortable smart casual attire should do the trick, so no need to bust out the three piece suite this time (unless you really want to). The venue has lots of grass and a little bit of gravel so appropriate shoes advised. (*also don't forget to wear sunscreen)
​
Finally; there is no need for gifts, and we would just be delighted to have you there on our special day. However, if you’d like to get us something, please find our gift list here.
We really can’t wait to see you all again.
​
With Love, Coco and Jegs
