FAQ
Answering the frequently asked questions.
How close is the beach?

Feel free to bring an extra pair of shoes, beach-friendly attire, and a towel, and enjoy!

Following the ceremony, we'll be taking candid photos at the reception, but above all, we want our guests to relax and feel at home, whether your hair ends up wet or not.

And don't be shy about taking your cocktails down to the beach!
Can I bring a plus one?
Unfortunately we can only cater for those named on the invite.
What time is the Wedding?
We'd love to see you in your seat by 3:30pm, as the ceremony will begin promptly at 4pm.
What time does the wedding end?
Festivities will officially wrap up around midnight, but please feel free to come and go as you like.

Garden Cocktail Attire
Think soft colours, light fabrics and polished summer silhouettes. Suits, linen sets, midi and maxi dresses are perfect. As we’ll be by the coast, breathable fabrics and comfortable footwear are encouraged.
​
We kindly encourage light and pastel tones in keeping with the garden/coastal setting. We ask that guests avoid black where possible.
Please note that jackets are not required for men, and ladies are welcome to skip the heels!
