FAQ's
Are children invited to the wedding?​
While we adore your little ones, this is a strictly adult-only event with the exception of our flower girl and page boys who will be participating in our ceremony.
​
Is there plenty of Parking?
Yes, there is a lot of parking on site, and you can leave your car. Please park your car in the walled cargen which can be found on the right hand side once you enter the estate. It has a sign outside. It is then a short walk down to the on site accommodation and St Giles house.
​
How do I get to the venue?
We are providing shuttle buses to and from the venue from select points within Wimborne. If you are staying somewhere that is not near to one of these points then booking a local taxi is the best option (do so in advance). Ubers are also available but may take longer as it’s a rural area and more challenging to find at night. More information will be shared once we have recieved all RSVP's.
​
Can I get a taxi?
If you are not joining the shuttle services we hope to provide, we cannot stress enough how important it is to pre-book your taxi. Trying to book a taxi in the evening is extremely difficult at this location!​
