CAN I TAKE PHOTOS?
Yes, a few discreet photos are absolutely fine. We just don’t want everyone watching the ceremony through their phones.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
Ah. Brighton.
Our current emergency wet-weather fantasy involves us getting married in the café under the Bandstand while Doris enjoys a bacon sarnie in the background. The real answer is that we’re still working through the wet-weather programme but we’ll make sure everyone knows what’s happening if the forecast turns against us.
For now, please visualise glorious September sunshine. Manifest.
CAN WE THROW CONFETTI?
Not at the Bandstand so please don’t bring your own. We quite like Brighton and would prefer not to be banned from it!

No. Soz.

2am - pace yourself!
IS THERE AN AFTERPARTY?
The reception is the afterparty. Thank yew!
IS ANYTHING HAPPENING THE NEXT DAY?
Possibly. We’ll let you know when we’ve decided whether we’re charmingly extending the weekend or have finally reached the limits of our organisational abilities.
WHAT ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY?
Please see the accessibility information on the Pier Court website for full venue details. If you have a specific requirement that could affect your day, let us know.
WHERE ARE OSCAR & RALPHIE?
With their Aunty Kim! We considered bringing them, then we pictured two dachshunds, 100+ guests, the sea, formalwear and an open Bandstand.
So they will be there in spirit!
