For the Americans coming it is a long day! So make sure to bring some comfortable shoes. Ceremony: Please arrive by 12:30 pm for a start time at 13:00 (1 PM). After the ceremony, Sami and Jon, along with family and the wedding party, will be taking many pictures. During this time food and drink will be passed out to guests. Do not fill yourselves up however!! Wedding Breakfast: Don't be fooled by the word breakfast... This will start at approx. 1500-1600 PM (3-4 pm) and is a three course meal. From there will be speeches. You will then be transferred after dinner to a room for tea time so they can set up for the party! The reception will begin at around 6 pm and last orders will be at around 11, with the party ending at 12 midnight sharp!

Black tie optional

We will have shuttles going back and forth from the Marriot where the bride and groom will be staying. We will have shuttles at 12 PM from the hotel to the venue, and then 12 AM from the venue to the Marriott hotel. Otherwise, please arrange uber or taxi.

Gatwick or Heathrow. Either way you can take trains into London. However, please note Maidstone is in Kent which is approximately 1 Hr and 45 minutes from the airport by train. So I suggest if you can carpool it may be easier and less expensive!

We suggest you get here the day before the wedding as it is an early start (1 pm). Most hotels will only let you check in from 3 pm.

Please look at the travel link. Many of the links also have a discount code to use at check out.

As of now, no. We get that it is an exhausting day, therefore it's likely we will head home to Melvin and Moira early the next day, for some celebratory snuggles with our furry children!

At your own risk......
