Arrival & welcome drinks
Arrive between 2pm and 2.15pm for welcome drinks and to begin the small talk.
2.00pm
Ceremony
Our bilingual, 'Franglais' celebration. Dan won't understand half the words, but he's read the script on Google Translate.
2.30pm
Confetti & photos
We'll provide buckets of confetti for you to launch at us whilst our photographer snaps away at the end of the ceremony. Then join us outside for what we promise will be a quick group shot.
3.15pm
Drinks reception
Enjoy French and English canapés, with pink bubbles to facilitate the awkward mingling of strangers.
3.30pm
Dinner & speeches
In continental fashion, our 5-part menu will be spread out across the evening. Remember, there is no such thing as 'full' at a wedding!
5.30pm
Candyfloss
Starts from 7.30pm for the kiddies; you still have one more course to suffer through.
7.30pm
Bar opens
Wine, beer and (pink!) prosecco on tap all day and evening long. There'll also be a full cash bar available in the evening.
8.00pm
Dessert buffet
Dan's forcing Claire through the formality of this one: we'll cut the cake and then the dessert buffet will be open, because you definitely need more food.
8.30pm
The First Shuffle™
We wanted to call this a dance, but thought we'd manage expectations.
8.40pm
Dancing & merriment
Bring your sparkly shoes, the band have promised us that everyone will be dancing all night long!
8.45pm
Sparkler time
Join us back outside for this shameless photo opportunity. You'll stand in the cold trying not to burn your hands, we'll finally be #instaworthy!
9.30pm
Carriages at midnight
This was meant to be 12.30, but Claire thought 'carriages at midnight' sounded better.
