Great news! When looking for our perfect venue one of the stipulations, other than it being close to home (to us and our closest families at least), was that we could have the ceremony and reception in the same venue. So the only travelling most people will need to do is to and from the venue at the start and end of the day if they aren't staying in accommodation.

Although we are having a summer wedding and the grounds at Oulton Hall are beautiful, we have taken into consideration britains unpredictable weather and the effect heat can have on the groom and decided it would be best to have an indoor ceremony - but hopefully the weather on the day allows us to get some stunning shots outside for our wedding photos.

The ceremony starts at 12pm so in order to have some time to socialise before you have to find a seat we are asking guests to arrive no later than half an hour before the ceremony begins. If you’re only able to make the evening reception the ideal time for arrival is by 6pm As for the wedding party, we request you get ready with us at the venue. If you’re bringing a plus one they’re welcome to hang out and get ready too - the suites are big enough!

Cash, credit debit card - contactless available.

In simple terms, no. We have decided against setting up a gift registry for a couple of reasons - There’s nothing we really need. - The cost of living. - We just want to celebrate our love and the start of our own family with our closest friends and with our families. That being said, no one needs to get us anything - your company and presence on our special day is enough, however if you would still like to contribute and bring a gift we kindly ask for either a small cash sum that we would then put into a savings account so we can one day buy a house together, a donation to a charity of your choice in our name or if you’re wanting something more physical anything small that we can keep and cherish forever.

We’re aware we have some family and friends travelling from across the country

Yes! From Canapés served during the drinks reception to the wedding breakfast & evening buffett

Yes! We have a couple of people underage coming to the wedding so it won’t be a problem as we can request that there is an alternative option available for you.

Not quite. There are certain scripts and time frames registrars have to go off so we have decided that we’ll write our own vows to give to each other after the ceremony before the wedding breakfast takes place which we will then put onto the website as well as the speeches for people to view at there leisure if they so choose.

Both the ceremony and evening reception are taking place in the Repton Suite at Oulton Hall. There will be a small lull between the ceremony and wedding breakfast when the drinks reception takes place and photos where the room change over will take place to transform the ceremony room into the room for the wedding breakfast and the adjoining room will be for dancing, karaoke, the shoe game & photobooth

Ceremony starts at 12pm. After the ceremony will be the drinks reception with canapés, followed by the wedding breakfast at 2pm. Evening Reception will commence from 7pm until 12am. Our lovely DJ Chris will be leaving around 11pm

Yes! Please feel free to take and post photos after the ceremony and speeches. We’re having an Unplugged Ceremony after all. Our Wedding Hashtag is #Mr&MrsCowling2025 and also feel free to tag us in any photos we’re in @DanniiAmiee & @akuma_t5ubasa

All invites have been addressed including any allotted plus ones as we can’t exceed our budget and are limited on space in the suite

An Unplugged Ceremony is basically a phone free ceremony. In respect of our photographer and his hard work we don’t want to see anyone taking sneaky pictures during the ceremony or speeches. Phones should be put on to silent however we respect if an emergency arises where you may have to take a call we just ask that if this happens you step out to take it without disrupting the ceremony.
