Good to know
Little ones
We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration.
Plus-ones
Please RSVP only for the guest or guests named on your invitation.
Accommodation
Wedding-night accommodation can be requested through your RSVP and is first in, first served.
Parking
Ceremony & reception: there are two guest parking areas — one at the entrance to the main lodge and another toward the rear, behind the lodges.
Staying overnight? Accommodation parking will be straightforward once your room has been allocated, and we'll include anything you need to know with your room details.
After midnight
Please don't bring or consume BYO alcohol during the licensed wedding event. Any private after-midnight arrangements will be confirmed once finalised with the venue.
Although at some point, the newlyweds fully intend to disappear and leave you lot to it. 😉
Exactly when? That's classified information.
