Evening Guest Info
Hello friends! We are so thrilled that you’ll be joining us for the highlight of our wedding day. While we couldn’t fit everyone in for the entire weekend, it means the world to us that you’ll be there to celebrate with us for the evening festivities. Here’s everything you need to know to make your arrival and stay as smooth as possible.
Booking Accommodation
We've reserved a spot for you in the beautiful bell tent meadow, where you can enjoy nature and sleep under the stars. Click here to see more pictures and info on the Elmley website.
Due to the limited number of tents, we’ll be asking on the RSVP form if you’re happy to share with close friends. Once we’ve received everyone’s accommodation preferences, we’ll group guests into tents to make sure everyone is comfortable and has a great place to stay. Families will always have their own private tents, and we’ll arrange comfy beds, travel cots, or futons for children and babies as needed.
How It Works
• Tent Groups: After grouping guests, we’ll assign a lead guest for each tent.
• Lead Guest Role: The lead guest will be contacted by the venue via email with your tent group details and booking instructions. They’ll be responsible for booking the tent and managing the payment.
• Co-ordinating Payment: If you’re the lead guest, please chat with your tent group to work out how to split the cost.
You're very welcome to rearrange or swap tent groups either before the wedding or even on the night if needed. Of course, if you'd prefer to stay somewhere else, that's absolutely fine - just let us know! We've put together a list of alternative places to stay here to help you find the perfect spot.
Itinerary
-
Your evening begins on Saturday 31st May 2025. Please arrive from 7PM to check into your tent if you are staying on the reserve. If you are staying elsewhere, you can head straight to the barn for the party!
The bell tents are very cosy and will be set up with:
• Proper beds: Comfy mattresses, soft duvets, pillows and fresh linen are all provided
• Blankets: For anyone who might feel the chill in the evening!
• Camp kitchen: Everything you need to make tea, coffee or a quick bite
• Bathroom facilities: Hot camping showers and loos are located in the meadow just a short walk from your tent
To help you feel refreshed after your journey, there will be a large dressing studio available with hairdryers, irons and floor-length mirrors. This space is all yours to get ready or freshen up, or else your tent will also be big enough to get changed comfortably.
Heads up: Not all bell tents have plug sockets for phone charging, so feel free to use the studio for charging or bring a portable power bank if you have one.

Once you’ve checked in, head over to the barn to join the party! There will be live music, dancing, and tasty late night food served around 10PM. Once the music finishes at midnight, we'll head over to the firepit courtyard to party under the stars!
-
If you're staying overnight, we invite you to join us for a refreshing morning plunge in the wild swimming pond at 9AM (this is completely optional but highly encouraged!)
Afterwards, there will be a big buffet breakfast served in the barn for all guests.

At 10:45 AM, we’ll have a quick send-off as we depart for our honeymoon. All guests are kindly asked to check out of their accommodations by 11 AM.
