Frequently Asked Questions
even the stupid ones

What should I wear?
We're pitching it as "formal" for the ceremony, tending towards smart-casual as the day progresses. Gents: start out in a suit and bring a tie for the ceremony. Ladies: There is no expectation for hats or fascinators but don't let that stop you if you want to dress up fancy (please refrain from wearing bridal attire!)
How do I get from Buxted station to the venue?
It's about a mile, so walkable if the weather's pleasant but we wouldn't particularly recommend it in heels! There is not a public transport option. Please let us know if you are driving to the venue and would like to offer to give some guests a lift, or if you are travelling by train and would like to hitch a ride. There are no Ubers but taxis should be available.
I haven't booked a room; have I left it too late?
Not quite - we have access to a couple of rooms at Buxted Park. Let us know as soon as possible.
What if it rains?
We are planning to have the ceremony inside so that shouldn't be a problem. If the weather is nice then we'll throw open the doors and have drinks outside on the terrace.
May I take photos?
Generally, yes! The only exception is during the ceremony - our photographer will let you know when it's okay.
When does the bar close?
Non-residents will be served until midnight. For residents the bar closes when we stop drinking.
When is the last train back to London?
The last train from Buxted is 22:38 and arrives into London Bridge at 23:50. Trains on Sunday start at 10:38, though aren't direct. There are other stations further away that have later services to London, including Three Bridges, which runs all night.
Are all areas accessible?
The ceremony room is down some steps but there is a wheelchair lift should you require. The remainder of the celebrations are all on one level.
I'm allergic to things or have particular dietary requirements - can you accommodate this?
Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. There is a section on the RSVP form so just let us know there.
Can I smoke?
The venue is non-smoking inside, but there is plenty of outdoor space
Photos sound long and boring...
That's not a question! We'll be having a couple of photos with family and then Andrew & Charlotte will be whisked away to have a few romantic pics. Don't worry, you can stay and enjoy the drinks reception with canapes :)
