Q + A

Can I bring my kids?

Kids are welcome in all areas and at all times. There will also be a separate space by the reception are for them to enjoy. Here you will also find the lawn games available throughout the day for all guests to enjoy. If you do decide to bring the family, please note that care of the smaller humans is your responsibility.

A flower farm! Cool!!! Can I wander aimlessley?

Short answer: No. At this time of year, this is a working flower farm... and October/November just happens to be the busiest time. So we picked a good date to get married (pun intended). There will be security stationed at key points later in the night. While we are there to relax, enjoy, party and get married with all our friends and family, the farm work does not stop. There will be areas that are roped off and staffed to stop any guests from wandering. We ask you to please stay out of them while staff and the family continue to work away.

Do you have accommodation on the property we can book/use?

We do not have any accommodation available on the property. However, we will be setting up space for anyone with a mobile home (caravan, van etc) to park up and stay. If this is you, can you please indicate this in the RSVP form so that we can properly accommodate you all.

How can I ask questions about this easily?

Add Sacha on WhatsApp and she will add you to the Wedding Guest Group chat. Please indicate your name and that you are attending our wedding. Please note that if the answer is here on the website, she will likely direct you here. Our sister is a busy wee bee and while she LOVES people... time will be a valuable commodity to her.

What is there to eat?

Quite a bit :) You can see on the schedule there are several times when food is being delivered but here is a run down just on food: Pre ceremony: Canapés Post Ceremony: Canapés & Grazing table 6:30pm: Dinner (Meats and salads from Smoke,n Barrel) 8:30pm: Sweets table set up 10pm: Supper (Savouries and pizzas etc) NB: If you have children with allergies, please bring food that is suitable for them. There are GF options within the canapés and Dinner options and these will be labelled. Food will be labelled with Gluten Free/Dairy Free etc. Some lollies at the dessert table may not have that info, but all catered food will come with this.

Is it an open bar?

Oh yes, very much so :) 2x styles of beer, 2 white wines, 1 red and vodka will be available upon arrival and at the reception. Non alcoholics are also available.

Can we take photos and videos?

We will have a dedicated photographer for the day. They will be capturing all the special moments. Please do NOT use your phones during the ceremony - Brady is an amazing photographer and he will capture it all! We invite you to leave your phones in your bags and enjoy the moment with us as much as possible.

Can I bring a Plus 1?

Our guest list is giving our parents heart palpitations... If you have been invited as a single individual, don't worry - there are going to be plenty of people to enjoy the day with.

What weather can I expect?

While the sun will be shining on this day! October is a gamble... We will be set up for all weather and ask that you are too. Sacha is manifesting 27 degrees, slight over cast in the afternoon and clear skies in the evening... just saying!

Where is the ceremony?

The entire wedding will be held at Prebbleton Peonies. Meet and greet, ceremony, photos, reception etc will all be on the property. 430 Springs Rd, Prebbleton.

What time should I arrive?

Arrival is from 2pm but please ensure you are there no later than 2:30pm. You will be moved through to the ceremony area at 2:50pm.

Where can we park?

Parking is on the property. The gates will be open and signage will be visible. Entry will be via the second driveway as you are coming from the city (North) or the first if you are coming from Lincoln (South). Follow the drive, hang a right and someone will be at the entrance point to show you where to drop passengers then move through to park your car.

Where can I stay?

Please refer to the "Travel & Accommodation" tab for this kind of information.

How late does the wedding go?

End time will vary from guest to guest but band will stop at 10:30pm. Any partying after that will depend on... you :)

Will you have a gift registry?

No - we both appreciate that a lot of you will be travelling for this and your presence is your gift! If you are wanting to gift anything, we will have a "wishing well" as you come in to the welcome area.

Can I hang out with Matt & Cal on the Friday (4th)?

Yes! Just... NOT at the house. Friday 4th, Matt and Callum will be sent to The Flaming Rabbit in Lincoln for lunch...

Address: 3 Vernon Drive, Lincoln 7608 Time: 11am - 2:30pm I am putting you ALL in charge of sending the boys home at 2:30 for rehearsal... :)
