Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
We politely request your response by Monday 18th July.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive promptly at 1.30pm for our Chuppah to start at 2.30pm.
Our evening guests are invited to join us from 7.00pm.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them with us. Please feel free to message Nommi and James all and any photos the day after the wedding, the more the merrier! Alternatively, if you use Instagram, please use the hashtag #legallyparked2022 so we can easily find them.
However, we do politely ask to please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony and to turn off your phone or camera and enjoy this special moment.
*We have also booked a very expensive professional photographer and want to get our monies worth.
Where should I park?
Although there is no parking in front of the main house itself on the day of the wedding, there is parking onsite for all of our guests.
You will be greeted by a parking steward who will direct you on where to leave your vehicle, which will be a couple of minutes walk away from the front entrance to Saltmarshe Hall.
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
The venue itself is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp able to be provided to navigate the entrance steps.
There is a gravel path suitable for wheelchairs leading to a grassy area where the ceremony will be taking place. The area where we are dining is ground level and no wheelchair accessibility is needed.
Additionally, there is a ramp from the gardens leading to the room where the evening reception will be taking place.
We would politely advise anyone attending the ceremony that is using a wheelchair to arrive slightly earlier than necessary as we would want to ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy the grounds and make your way comfortably to the ceremony.
If you are worried at all in advance of the day itself about accessibility around the grounds, please contact the bride and groom directly and we would be happy to help.
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be inviting them to the ceremony or reception.
We want our friends and family to be able to enjoy the day as much as possible, switch off Mum or Dad mode and feel free to relax completely.
If you have a baby under one, or children that need to be with you the day of our wedding, please contact Nommi or James directly.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Ah, the beautiful British weather, heatwaves in March and snow in April, on consecutive weekends!
Weather permitting, we will be holding our ceremony outdoors in the gardens of Saltmarshe Hall and further using both indoor and outdoor spaces within the property and grounds throughout the rest of the wedding day schedule.
However, the majority of the day will be spent outdoors.
What should I wear?
We have chosen a 'Black Tie' dress code to add to the special ambiance of our wedding day and reflect the grandeur of the surroundings we will be celebrating in. Whilst we want all our guests to feel comfortable throughout the day and to not feel under pressure to adhere, we hope you will join us in the fun of dressing up.
Black Tie dress code is black tuxedos for men and full-length, evening, or, special occasion dresses for women.
If you're still at all unsure on what to wear, just think, red-carpet-ready!
Will there be Israeli dancing during the reception?
Yes! One of the many traditions the Bride & Groom are excited to share on the day with their guests is Israeli dancing. For anyone unfamiliar to Israeli dancing, you may have seen it captured in many a hollywood film and will recognise it when you see it.
Known as The Hora, it is a traditional dance performed at Jewish weddings where the newlyweds are lifted into the air while their family and friends dance in circles around them. During the hora, the couple each holds one end of a handkerchief or napkin to signify their union.
Israeli dancing is fast paced, energetic and pretty much a free-for-all in terms of taking part! Please don't feel you need to stand at the side-lines - everyone is encouraged and welcomed to get involved.
What time will the reception end?
Last orders at the bar are called at 11:45pm with the bar closing at 12am. Although we'll be sad to end the day, this is when the music will stop and taxi's are to arrive. By this time we will have danced, eaten and be needing a good sleep!

Will the ceremony and reception be socially distanced?
We cannot predict the situation regarding Covid but we will adhere to any rules in place at that moment in time.
It will be difficult to maintain social distancing at an event this size so if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask please do so, however these will not be mandated.
Whom should I call with questions?
If you can't find the information you're look for here, please don't hesitate to call or message Nommi or James.
If you are needing help with something the morning of the wedding however, they may be a little pre-occupied! In that instance, please reach out to the venue on 01430-434920.
