The Wedding

DATE

Saturday 16 October 2027

VENUE

Riverwood Downs

DRESS CODE

Cocktail Attire

Ceremony

The ceremony starts at 3.00 pm. If you can get there by 2.45, that gives you time to find a seat and settle in before we get started.

Canape Hour

We'll head off for photos for a little while once the ceremony is done. While we're gone the bar will be open, canapés will be going around, and there'll be lawn games and music. Make yourself at home, find someone to talk to, have a drink. We'll be back before long.

There'll be a quick announcement after the ceremony letting everyone know where things are and what's coming up next.

PHOTOS

We'll do formal photos with the wedding party and immediate family straight after the ceremony. Later in the afternoon, once we're back with everyone, the photographer will be around for relaxed photos with extended family and friends. We're not going to organise a list or round people up for it. It'll happen as the afternoon unfolds.

Dinner

Dinner is around 6.30 pm, seated, two courses.

Please let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies when you RSVP and they'll be taken care of.

The full menu will be up here closer to the date.

The evening

After dinner the music picks up. Dance if you want to, find a good spot to sit and talk, step outside for some air. Stay as long as you like.

Dress code

COCKTAIL ATTIRE

Festive, semi-formalwear.

Think knee-length or midi dresses, tailored suits, jumpsuits or chic separates — tie optional.

Ultimately though, just wear something that feels celebratory and comfortable to you.

COMFORT

The venue is partly on grass and gravel so it's worth thinking about shoes you can actually move in. October days can be warm, but it will cool down in the evening, so a layer to throw on is a good idea.

COLOUR

Our wedding party is in greens, so we'd love it if guests steered clear of those to avoid any accidental clashes. Other than that, wear whatever colours feel right for you.

If you'd like to check anything or talk through what you're wearing, feel free to reach out to Wren.

Gifts

Having you there is what matters to us. We don't have a registry and truly aren't expecting anything.

If you'd like to bring something, a card with a note from you means a lot. There'll be a wishing well at the reception for cards, and other ways to give if you'd prefer not to bring cash on the day.
