Maya & Jonah
Our Story
It started with a shared table at a crowded cafe and one borrowed umbrella. Six years, two cities and one very persuasive golden retriever later, Jonah asked under the oak at Willow Creek, and Maya said yes before he finished the sentence.
Now we get to throw the best dinner party of our lives, with everyone we love in one room.
The details
The schedule
Travel & stay
Hearthstone Barn is 40 minutes from the city on the M4. There is plenty of parking on site, and a shuttle runs from the Willow Creek Hotel at 3pm sharp.
The shuttle comes back twice, at 10pm and at midnight, and the barn is happy to call taxis for anyone who misses both.
The Willow Creek Hotel is holding a block of rooms under our names until 1 September. It is a five minute walk from the shuttle stop and does a very good breakfast.
If you would rather stay in the village, The Old Post House and Marlow Cottage are both ten minutes away by car.
Dress Code
Garden formal: suits and midi-or-longer dresses, in colours that love a vineyard. Stilettos sink into the lawn, block heels are your friend.
The ceremony is outside and the evening cools off quickly once the sun goes behind the hill, so bring something warm for later.
Gifts
Your being there is genuinely the gift. We have lived together for four years, so the toaster situation is under control. If you would like to give something anyway, there is a jar at the barn for our honeymoon in Puglia, and we will send you a photo of whatever your contribution bought.
A Few Questions
We love your small people, but this one is adults-only apart from immediate family.
The ceremony moves into the barn, which is arguably even more romantic.
By 1 September please, so the caterers can stop asking us.
Yes, plenty, and you are very welcome to leave a car overnight and collect it the next morning.
