How do I get to/from the venues?

All Saints Church and the Crown are sited next to each other on the village green and can be accessed by car or taxi. A selection of taxi companies can be found towards the bottom of our About The Day page.

If you are planning on leaving by taxi we highly recommend pre-booking in advance as Saturday nights get very busy.

Where should I park?

There is a car park located at the Crown, however, it is likely this will get busy over the course of the day and evening, especially with their normal guests. Therefore we appreaciate any guests that are able to car-share or able to book a taxi.

Will I have to pay for parking?

The Crown does not charge for parking.

Can I take pictures?

In a day of smartphones and digital cameras we know you want to help us capture the different moments of our special day, however, we do request that you refrain from taking any pictures during the wedding ceremony as we want to share the ceremony with our guests and leave it to the professionals to capture the special moment.

After the ceremony, you are welcome to snap away and can share any photos with us at our special online album here!
