We're getting married
We're getting married in the heart of the English countryside, and we'd love for you to be there. Save the date — full details, schedule and RSVP are all below.
Emily & Alfie
Our story
Not the polished version — just the one we always come back to.
Where it began
We met in Oxford's library, both reaching for the same book. Alfie was lost, Emily helped, and neither of us has stopped talking since.
Five years later
He proposed on a freezing hillside in the Lake District. She said yes immediately — partly out of love, partly to get back somewhere warm.
The venue
Ashwell Manor · Gloucestershire
Set in twelve acres of Cotswolds countryside, Ashwell Manor is a Grade II listed manor house with walled rose gardens, a south terrace and a barn made for dancing.
Ashwell Manor, Upper Slaughter, Gloucestershire GL54 2JD
Where to stay
We've picked a few favourites within easy reach of the venue. Book early — June is peak season in the Cotswolds.
Good to know
The little things that make the day run smoothly.
Smart casual or garden-party attire. Think summer dresses, linen suits and shoes that can handle a lawn.
Your presence is the greatest gift. If you'd like to give something, a contribution to our honeymoon fund is wonderful — details on request.
Free parking on site. The nearest station is Kingham, a fifteen-minute taxi from the venue.
Schedule
Here's how the day will unfold. Timings might shift slightly, but we'll keep you posted.
The ceremony begins at 2pm sharp in the walled rose garden. Please arrive by 1:45pm so we can start on time.
Join us on the south terrace for champagne, Pimm's and canapés while we capture a few photographs.
A four-course British feast prepared by the wonderful team at The Wild Rabbit.
Time to cut the cake — followed by coffee, tea and an obscene amount of petit fours.
The dance floor opens with our first dance. After that, it's all yours.
The party wraps at midnight. Taxis can be pre-booked, or there'll be a few on standby.
RSVP
Please RSVP by April 30, 2026 so we can finalise numbers. We can't wait to celebrate with you.
