Our Wedding

As you already know, we are getting married on Saturday 13th May at North Cadbury Court and we are so excited you are joining us for what we hope will be the wedding of the century.

North Cadbury Court is a Grade 1 listed 16th century country house set in 1,500 acres of gorgeous Somerset countryside with outstanding views of Cadbury Hill Fort, thought to have been King Arthur’s Court of Camelot.

We chose the venue (shout out to Jonathan Williams for the recommendation!!!) because it looks like the ideal place for a massive party - from rooftop golf to the basement casino, via the indoor swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi we know we're all going to have a great time!

Schedule

Pizza Party 🍕

7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Join us by the lake for pizza and drinks! Meet the other guests and get settled in; once it gets dark we'll head back to the house to continue the celebrations.

Dress Code

Pizza party chic. Wear what you like but just be aware that there's a bit of a walk down to the lake on grass so stilettos will be tricky 👠
