The Ceremony

St Bartholomew's

Munsley, Herefordshire

The beautiful village church beside the orchard — where we'll say our "I do's".

Ceremony begins

12:30pm

Please arrive by

12:10pm

Please note: we're having an unplugged ceremony — pop your phones away and be fully present with us. Our brilliant photographer will capture every moment.

And please — no confetti at the church. We'll have a confetti moment at the orchard later!

The celebration

Under the Tipis

The Orchard at Munsley

A bespoke tipi venue in the heart of Herefordshire

After the ceremony, follow us up the drive into the apple orchard for an afternoon and evening of food, drinks, music and dancing under the festoon-lit Nordic tipis.

Think golden-hour cocktails, fire pits, heels-off dancing, and a wedding that feels like the best weekend of our lives.

From the venue

"Open skies, Nordic tipis glowing at sunset, cocktails flowing under the trees, and a dance floor full of your favourite people."

Getting there

Travel & Parking

The orchard is tucked away in the Herefordshire countryside, so save the postcode and the what3words to your phone before you set off!

Type this into the what3words app or Google Maps to land directly at the car park entrance.

Park overnight

Had one too many cocktails? You're very welcome to leave your car at the venue overnight.

Shuttle bus

A complimentary shuttle will run for guests staying at Woodside Lodges — keep an eye on your invitation for times.

Out in the country

Phone signal can be patchy! Download offline maps before you set off, just in case.

Where to lay your head

What to wear

The Dress Code

Boho Formal · Garden Party

Think floaty dresses, linen suits, suede waistcoats, dried-flower buttonholes and a touch of the wildflower meadow. Glam it up — we want everyone looking gorgeous in the photos.

  • Mind your heels, ladies! The venue is gravel and grass — chunky heels, wedges, block heels or pretty flats will save your feet (and your shoes).
  • Layer up for later. September evenings in the countryside get chilly once the sun dips — a shawl, jacket or favourite knit is a good shout.
  • Bring something warm and wonderful — fire pits will be lit, but the orchard breeze is real.
Eat, drink & be merry

Food & Drink

The Feast

Wedding breakfast will be served in the tipis at 3pm, with welcome drinks & canapés flowing from 1:30pm and a late-night pizza party from 9pm onwards.

Top tip: tap-to-pay is your friend in the orchard!
