Ste & Terri

Saturday 31st May 2025

The weekend

We have hired Wilde Lodge from Friday 30th May until Sunday 1st June. The main wedding celebration will take place on Saturday 31st May, but we would love for you to join us for the whole weekend. However, we do appreciate that this won’t be for everyone so otherwise, please join us for the wedding on Saturday.

We are wanting to create a relaxed, festival vibe for the weekend and would love for our guests to stay with us on site in the glamping village so that we can enjoy the beautiful countryside and all the festivities together. The house also has a small number of rooms that will be reserved for specific guests. We will be in touch with those guests to offer this option directly. Lastly, if glamping is not your thing, there are a number of other accommodation options nearby. Information on all accommodation options can be found at the bottom of this page.

RSVP

Once you’ve considered all of the options for the weekend, please fill in the form below to RSVP and let us know your plans by 30th November 2024.
