Questions
Frequently asked
A few answers to help you plan for the day.
RSVP deadline
Please RSVP online by the 9th of September.
Can I bring a date?
Due to limited space at the venue, we're afraid we cannot accommodate additional guests unless a +1 has been noted on your invitation.
Are kids welcome?
Yes, but please let us know if you are bringing any children when you RSVP.
I have a dietary requirement!
Well, I'm just an FAQ page, so I can't help you with that. Please let us know when you RSVP and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
Should I lavish you with gifts?
Your presence is present enough! Having lived together for so long now, we're not in need of a registry - but if you would like to contribute towards our honeymoon fund, we would greatly appreciate it.
Where should I park?
There is a car park at Mottram Hall. If you are driving, you will need to drive past the entrance of Mottram Hall to get to it. The roads in front of Mottram Hall are a little confusing, so just follow the signage and you should be fine.
Where should I stay?
A special guest rate of £174 is available at Mottram Hall for the night of the wedding. Please call the hotel and quote "townend-farmbrough" to book (though it is worth checking online beforehand to see if it's cheaper without the code!). There are also a number of other hotels a short drive away - we've listed a few of the larger ones on the details page.
What should I wear?
We are both strongly in favour of all guests wearing clothes. We recommend whatever (clothes) you feel most comfortable in! Kilts are highly encouraged (because they look excellent). The majority of the event will be inside. There will be a chance to go outside onto the grounds, and we hope to get lots of photos there!
Outside or inside?
The ceremony, drinks reception, meal, and dancing will all be happening inside. Weather permitting, we are hoping to take some photos on the grounds, and the grounds will be available to explore as well.
Photos during the ceremony?
Unless you're Jake, our photographer, please do not take any photos during the ceremony - we want you to be there with us! Before & after the ceremony, please take as many as you can!
What is a ceilidh?
Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is a traditional Gaelic dance. Our band, the fantastic Triple Scotch, will walk us through the steps together. It's similar to barn or square dancing, and can get quite high-energy!
