About the celebration
A wedding,
our way
This weekend is a little different from a traditional one-day wedding. Here’s what we’re planning—and why.
01Why host a wedding over five days?
We want the celebration to feel spacious, not rushed. The wider five-day rhythm lets each group arrive, settle in, and have real time with us before the next group joins. No one is expected to attend all five days—your invitation and timeline will make your arrival and departure window clear.
02Why split up groups?
Smaller groups mean real conversations and unhurried time together. Eva’s friends have Friday, Hudson’s friends have Saturday, family friends have Monday, and Tuesday is family only. It isn’t about ranking guests—it’s about making room for connection and making the most of the space we have.
03Is there a ceremony?
No. There won’t be an aisle, formal vows, or a seated ceremony. There is no single formal ceremony day. Each gathering will have its own version of a celebration, with time for a few words, drinks, dinner, and dancing.
04What will we be doing?
Expect shared meals, time outdoors, games, good conversation, and a proper evening of dinner and dancing. There will also be breathing room—this is a weekend to enjoy, not a schedule to race through.
05How will housing work?
Housing follows the same staggered rhythm as the guest groups. We’re coordinating shared rooms around each group’s arrival and departure window, and you’ll receive your house and room details before the weekend. If you’d rather arrange your own space, nearby stays are also an option.
Where everyone stays
House allocation
Choose a day to see the current sleeping arrangement. For now, the draft follows the five-day guest handoff. Clarke Road Retreat is the 16-person main house. Tuesday remains unchanged until its final list is confirmed.

A few notes
for the road
Getting here
Driving is the easiest way to reach the county. Plan around the arrival time shown for your guest group.
Where to stay
Picton, Bloomfield, and Wellington all make lovely home bases. A short list of recommended stays will follow.
Getting around
Transportation details between central pick-up points and Clarke Road Retreat will be shared with each guest group.
What to wear
Think colour, comfortable shoes, and a light layer for the evening. Your invitation will include the dress note for your day.
