Getting there · staying there

Travel & Stay

To help you plan your weekend, we've included some travel and accommodation details below.

The pre-wedding events will be held at The Priory Barn, followed by the wedding and reception at Offley Place. Both venues are based in Hertfordshire, just outside Luton, with parking available on site.

Hotel and transport information is included below, and we'll update this section with any further details closer to the wedding.

Where to stay

The wedding party will be staying at Holiday Inn London Luton North, and we'd love for as many guests as possible to stay with us there.

The hotel is within around 15 minutes of both wedding venues, making it a convenient base for the weekend. A booking link is provided for anyone who would like to reserve a room.

Getting around

Travel

Parking is available at the hotel and at both venues. We'll also be providing a shuttle service to the Mehndi and Reception, so guests can relax, enjoy the evening and, should the mood take them, let their hair down and boogie. Shuttle timings will be shared closer to the date.

Practical bits

Questions, answered.

  • Which events should I attend?

    As much as we would love for everyone to attend everything, we have had to limit numbers across some of the events. Your invitation will confirm which events you are invited to. If you are unsure or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.

  • Can I bring a plus-one?

    Your invitation will name the guests we have included for each event. If you are unsure, or if someone named on your invitation is unable to attend and you would prefer to bring someone else, please reach out to us.

  • Are children allowed at the wedding?

    We would love to include all members of your family where possible. However, due to venue numbers, children should only attend if they are named on your invitation. If this causes any childcare issues, please let us know and we'll try to accommodate where we can.

  • What should I wear?

    We've included a suggested dress code for each event above, but please treat this as guidance rather than a strict rule. We'd much rather you feel comfortable, relaxed and ready to enjoy the celebrations with us, instead of worrying about what to wear.

  • Will I be able to understand the ceremonies?

    Yes. The priest will provide a full English translation throughout, helping everyone follow each ritual as it happens and understand the meaning behind the ceremony.

  • Are the venues accessible?

    Yes. All venues have wheelchair access, and we want all guests to feel comfortable throughout the celebrations. If you have any specific access requirements, please feel free to reach out to us.

  • Gifts?

    Your presence means more to us than any gift. We would love nothing more than for you to be there with us, sharing in the moments that will make the weekend so special.
