Are photos allowed to be taken on the day?
Throughout the day photos can, of course, be taken. We respectfully ask that during the ceremony phones are not used as this can spoil the photos that the professional photographer will be taking.
We would still love to see your snaps from the day as would the other guests. We will have a QR code at the venue on the day so that photos can be uploaded creating one big photo album for everyone to access.
Are children allowed at the wedding?
Although we love your children, this is an adult only event so we ask that the sproglings stay at home for the day.
What is the dress code?
Smart but you don't need to be super duper formal. In addition to no white, we ask that people avoid dark/forest green as this is a key colour for our outfits.
I am alcohol-free, will I be able to drink something interesting?
Neither of us drinks a lot, which is one of the many reasons why we chose Sopley Mill, as there are decent options for non-drinkers. The bar has a range of alcohol-free cocktails, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks to choose from.
May I have a plus one?
The Mill is the perfect cosy venue for our upcoming nuptials but because of its size we have had to stick to a smallish guest list. Because of this we are unable to extend invites for plus ones, unless specified on the invites.
What's parking like at Sopley Mill?
Sopley Mill has free parking for up to 80 cars and guests can leave their cars overnight. The car park is gravel but there are disabled spaces close to the entrance for easy access.
Is there a wedding gift list?
Having you with us on our wedding day is the best gift we could ask for. Though should you wish to help us keep the celebrations going, donations towards our honeymoon fund for a trip to Canada in the future would be greatly appreciated. The fund collection pot can be found here https://app.collectionpot.com/pot/3319948, and just click 'add to pot' to contribute. We will also have a card box on the day if you prefer to be more old skool!
Thank you for being a part of our special day. We can’t wait to see you and share in the celebration!
