Question

What is the address

Answer

We will be getting married at Stretton Manor Barn, Chesterfield, DE55 6EX. We will be getting married at 12pm. Therefore, we ask that you do not arrive any later than 11.30am as you will not be allowed in once the ceremony starts. The reception will follow at the same location. See our accommodations page for nearby hotels or glamping recommendations.

Question

Is there parking?.

Answer

Yes, there is limited parking at the venue. If you are staying at our recommended hotel please bare in mind that they do not do check-in until 3 pm. So you may need to drop your bags off and get transport from the hotel to the venue. We will be offering transport from the Venue to Casa Hotel at the end of the evening.

Question

Answer

Unfortunately, they wanted a definite answer when booking the hotel. Those who were quick enough got a better deal at booking.com we are aware that they may not have any more bookings available so you may need to use the actual website.

We have a black tie theme, meaning dress to impress! We want you to feel as comfortable as possible but as glamorous as you can.

Question

Answer

If they are not named on the invite, unfortunately, they are not invited. We would like to keep our wedding small and intimate for immediate family and friends.

Question

Am i allowed to bring my children?

Answer

If your child is named on the invite they are invited to come along and celebrate with us. we ask that no one under 12 to be attending as we want to keep our wedding kid-free.

Question

Answer

Answer

Youll see after the ceremony a card box for all cards. We are excited to start our lives together, and we are thankful that you want to be a part of our day.

Question

When will the reception end?

Answer

The venue have asked that the bride and groom leave no later than midnight ( exact time to be discussed) we ask that you arrange transport for that time of night to your desired location. The bride and groom will be having a last dance whilst the remaining guests get ready for a sparkler send-off. After this, you will be asked to make your way to your hotel or home.

Question

Am i allowed to take photos?

Answer

Whilst we know it can be an exciting time, we will be having an unplugged ceremony so that the photographers have the floor to take photos at all angles without a phone being in the way. You will be given an opportunity just after the ceremony to take a photo of the bride and groom for your socials and also a selfie opportunity just before the ceremony begins. we do ask that you do not post the bride and groom until they have announced it on social media themselves,
