Welcome to James & Natalie’s Wedding Celebration at Wilde Lodge.

Dress Code

Semi-Formal - Suited and booted. The ground outside the lodge and surrounding the safari tent is gravelled so the can be a bit uneven. We are getting married, in May, in Wales... So make sure you bring some warm clothes and an umbrella just in case. Particularly if you are camping on site please bring extra layers. There will be fire pits set up in the evening and the Safari Tent will be well heated.

Children

Due to the nature of the venue, unfortunately we won’t be able to accommodate children outside of the wedding party. We hope you understand and look forward to celebrating with you!

Friday May 9th 2025

Those staying onsite are welcome to arrive from 6pm. If you are not staying onsite but would like to come along and say hi, please feel free to join us at any time from 6pm as well. (Please let us know if you’ll be popping by so we can make sure there is food and drink for you)

Help us settle into the weekend with a few drinks and some tasty food! We would love this opportunity for our families and friends to mingle and to get us all in the PARTY mood!

6:30pm – Food

You are welcome to bring your own drink on Friday. But we ask that you please be respectful and clean up after yourselves so that we don’t have too much clean up to do the morning of the wedding.

Gifts

We really are so grateful for you making the effort to attend our wedding, so a gift on top is not necessary. If you would like to spoil us, then a contribution towards our honeymoon would be greatly appreciated.

Accommodation

As there are so many of you who we don’t get to see very often, we would love it if you could stay with us onsite for the weekend in the glamping village so that we can enjoy the beautiful countryside and all the festivities together.

A bell tent village is going to be set up for those of you who would like to join us, and you can book using the link below. The prices are for 3 nights (i.e. Friday 9th – Monday 12th), and will be set up for your arrival. The tents can sleep up to 6 people – if you would like some help finding people to share with, please let us know.

Hels Bells offer a unique boutique glamping experience with a range of white canvas Bell Tents on site at Wilde lodge.
