Q&A
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by 14 February 2024.
Can I bring a date?
Unfortunately, due to space limitations, only guests named on the invitation will be able to attend.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
We are hoping to have the wedding ceremony and reception outdoors, weather permitting.
What should I wear?
We don’t have a dress code but would suggest semi-formal attire, for example, suits for men and dresses, dressy separates or jumpsuits for women. As we are hoping for the ceremony to be held in the Coach House's walled garden, we would recommend avoiding stiletto heels.
Where should I park?
Doddington Hall has complimentary parking opposite the Hall in the main car park, Farm Shop car park and down past the Bike Shop.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love you to take lots of photos at our wedding! Our photographer is also very happy to take photos of you, so please let him know if you have any requests!
Are kids welcome?
Unfortunately, due to space limitations, only guests named on the invitation will be able to attend (except for babes in arms).
Can I book accommodation at the venue?
There is a limited amount of accommodation remaining at the venue. You can book through their website, but feel free to contact us and we might be able to get you a discount! Doddington Hall accommodation.
Do you have a wedding gift list?
We don’t have a gift list as we have already lived together for eight years, so please don’t feel that you need to bring us a present. Having you there is more than enough of a gift, but if you still wish to give us something to celebrate our marriage then a small gift of your choice, a monetary contribution or a donation to a charity that you care about would be very generous.
