Courtney and Lewis are getting married
We would love for you to celebrate with us
We've decided to be super extra and have 2 days of celebrations. We hope you'll be able to find all the info you need to enjoy the couple of days with us below
Day 1: The legal bit
Thursday 25 September 2025
We will be having our legal ceremony with our nearest and dearest at the Guildhall in Northampton. This will be followed by a drinks reception at V&B (directly across the road from the Guildhall) and then dinner at Ember in Wellingborough
14:30 Arrive at the Guildhall ready to be seated for 15:00 ceremony
15:00 Ceremony time
15:30 A couple photos out the front and then mooch over to V&B
18:00 Arrive at Ember for drinks and dinner
There are plenty of parking options in Northampton. The Grosvenor and Mayorhold are often free mid-week. The most convenient parking for the Guildhall is probably St John's car park, or the Morrisons supermarket car park. Ember has parking on-site
Addresses for venues:
The Guildhall: St Giles Square, Northampton, NN1 1DE
V&B: St Giles Square, Northampton NN1 1DE
Ember: Unit 42 Nene Court, the Embankment, Embankment, Wellingborough, NN8 1LD
Day 2: The Happily Ever Party
Saturday 27 September 2025
We would love for you to celebrate our civil partnership with us at Saxby's Cider Farm, Grange Farm, Irchester Road, Farndish, Wellingborough, NN29 7HJ

18:00 Food from 18:00
19:15 First dance, cake cutting, partying, all the usual things
23:00 We all get kicked out
Our food vans can cater for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, but please let us know any dietary requirements so we can give them an idea of numbers and make sure there will be an option you can eat. You will be able to choose your food on the day
There is parking on site at the farm, cars can be left overnight but must be removed by midday Sunday. What3 words for parking is ///visitors.pythons.city
There is no real dress code for either day - wear whatever you feel good in. Please consider wearing clothes you already own or renting your outfit so we can try and reduce the impact of our wedding on the planet. When choosing your outfit and shoes please bear in mind the venue on the Saturday is largely outdoors. Wear stilettos at your own risk
We have listed some accommodation options below. Farndish is a small village so you may find more options in Wellingborough which is a short taxi or car ride away. We have not stayed in the below but would recommend them based on location...
⭐Travelodge - Wellingborough/Rushden
⭐The Hind Hotel - Welllingborough
⭐The Stables at the George of Wilby
⭐There are also camping/glamping options at the White Mills Marina in Earls Barton, Grendon Lakes and Billing Aquadrome Holiday Park
You will find most the hotel chains in Northampton (Premier Inn, Mecure, Hilton, Ibis. Holiday Inn) or camping/glamping options at Overstone Holiday Park - but these are slightly further away from the venue (approx 25 minute drive). If you're coming from the north you could also consider staying in Kettering (Holiday Inn Express/Travelodge/Premier Inn) or we have stayed at Barton Hall Hotel and Spa in Kettering and can confirm its very nice (23 min drive to venue)
Once we know where people are staying we may be able to organise some taxis between venues if helpful. We will aim to confirm this mid-2025
🧡
We appreciate the effort a lot of you will be making to travel and attend our celebrations so your presence is the greatest gift you could give us. If you did want to contribute further than any contributions to our honeymoon which we hope to take in 2026 would be truly appreciated. The link below allows you to see and gift us some of the experiences that we have our eyes on 👀
Please RSVP by 31 April 2025 ✨
