FAQs

Where is the wedding being held?

The wedding and reception will both be taking place at The Heritage & Arts Center, Morgan Street, Bow, E3 5AA.

What are the best transport options?

The venue is located a 2 minute walk from Mile End tube station. There are also plenty of buses along the main road and the venue is easily accessible by taxi.

Is there parking?

The venue is in a residential area and there is plenty of parking on the surrounding streets. Parking is free on weekends until 8:30am on Monday morning. Therefore, if you do drive and then later decide to partake in the alcohol on offer, you would be able to leave your car overnight and collect it the next day.

What time will the wedding take place?

We ask that you are seated by 12:45 for a 1:00pm start. As the venue is in a residential area, we do unfortunately have to have vacated the venue by 11pm. Therefore we ask that people make arrangements to leave around 10:30pm. Should you want to continue the party, there are plenty of excellent spots a short cab ride away.

Is there a dress code?

Yes! We’d love to see all our family and friends get dressed up to celebrate our big day so we’ve decided that this event will be Black Tie. Please see the “Dress Code” section of this website for further details, including outfit inspiration and links to places where you can hire black tie attire.

Are kids welcome?

Whilst we love your children, we have decided to make this a child free event. We hope you will all enjoy this evening as a night off and think of this as a “date night.”

Can I bring a plus one?

Unfortunately due to space limitations at the venue we are only able to accommodate a small number of people. If your partner is invited their name will be included on the email you received with your invitation. Please rest assured that everyone attending knows someone else at the event and we will make sure you’re seated together at the dinner table.

Where should I stay?

London has many accommodations on offer at all price points. We will however be putting a list together of local hotels in the near future. If you would be interested in being part of a group booking, please let us know and we will try and negotiate a discounted rate.

What should I do if I cannot make it/ currently unsure?

Whilst we obviously hope that all of you can make it to celebrate with us, we understand not everyone will be able to and you will be missed! If you know you cannot make the event, or believe that you may be able to but are not currently able to confirm, we ask that you still fill out the RSVP form and click the “No” or the “Maybe” button in the attendance section. This just helps us to better plan the event with our vendors. If you are a ‘Maybe” please get in touch with Liz here to discuss timelines so we can save you a space!

What is the RSVP deadline?

The formal RSVP date has been set as March 1st 2024 due to restrictions placed on us by our vendors. However, we ask that you fill the form out as soon as you can as it really helps us to plan the wedding.

The venue we are hiring is completely empty so we need to hire all the furniture and the sooner we know how many tables and chairs we need, the better!
