Dress Code
Guests are requested to wear bright colours as befitting this colourful celebration! We also encourage you to think sustainably – wear again or buy second hand if you can.
Children’s Entertainment
We want everyone to have an amazing time at our wedding, kids and their parents included! So we’ve hired Northumberland Wedding Creche to help make that happen.
Helen and her experienced team will provide childcare and entertainment for our little ones including:
boardgames, books, jigsaws, Lego, bubble machine, crafts (non-messy), Nintendo wii, and a ‘movie night’, as well as individual activity packs for each child tailored to their age.
Children will have their own special wedding dinner during the drinks reception, managed by Helen and her team.
We know some parents will want to keep dancing the night away after their little one’s bedtime, and so there is an optional babysitting service at an additional cost.
Entertainment will be provided throughout the day until 9pm, including a ‘movie night’ from 6pm.
