Accommodation

 Glamping in our unique bell tent village - see below for link and details on booking a Hels Bells tent – have a browse at all the tent options.  You have until end of June to confirm your tent booking.

The prices are for 3 nights, and everything will be set up ready for your arrival. Luxury washrooms (Nomadic Washrooms) will be provided over the whole weekend for our guests.

 There is a dedicated “getting ready room” in the main house, including mirrors and electrical points for hair styling and make-up etc. 

 Note – the bedrooms in the main house are already allocated to specific guests.

Food & Drink 

We will be providing breakfast for the 3 mornings including Sausage/Bacon Baps bought in from a local cafe, light continental options and tea, coffee, juices,

 Evening Meals will be provided on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as per Itinerary.

Please do confirm if you have any dietary requirements on RSVP (allergies, vegetarian etc.) 

On Friday and Saturday, the bar will be open where you can purchase your own drinks (certain drinks will be provided during the post ceremony reception and wedding breakfast on Saturday)

 Please do not bring or consume your own alcohol at the venue on Friday and Saturday, there is a strict venue policy on this.

Sunday is Bring Your Own Alcohol (BYOB)  - the bar will not be open. 

Please bring along your own provisions, snacks, and drinks for your tent or for when you might need something outside of the mealtimes.

 From Sunday morning, we will have access to the fridge and food storage areas in the venue catering area.

There is a CO-OP 5-10 minutes’ drive from Wilde Lodge for last minute provisions.

Weekend attire

 Dress Code for the wedding day is Semi-Formal.

We are getting married in Wales at a venue that is predominantly outside.... So make sure you bring something warm and potentially an umbrella! The ground outside the lodge and surrounding the safari tent is gravelled so the can be a bit uneven. There will be fire pits set up the evening and the Safari Tent will be well heated, but to really enjoy the site we recommend sensible footwear to change into and warm layers to enjoy the star gazing at night. 

 For the rest of the weekend, just be comfortable.

 There are options within the grounds for wild swimming, walking, and running, so bring any supporting clothing and equipment needed. 

Campers - please bring layers as it may get chilly at night!

Gifts

 Having the pleasure of your company for the whole weekend is already a big ask and fabulous gift, so we do not expect any presents! 

However, if you would like to give us a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon in October would be very much appreciated.

Hopefully, we have covered everything for now but please let us know if you have any questions.

 Please make sure you RSVP by 14th March 2025 to either Max or Matt via WhatsApp. 

 Lots of Love

 Matt & Max (and our extremely excited flower-girl, Charlotte) xxx
