Not long now! 26 days! Until 26.6.26 💍 🔔 💃 🕺
Day guest information
We are so looking forward to celebrating our special day with you all. As our ceremony is being held within a peaceful Buddhist garden, we kindly ask guests to respect the space by refraining from bringing alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or using vapes on the grounds.
Parking is available at Lochwinnoch Train Station and the RSPB car park. Additional overflow parking can also be found at The Boatyard Restaurant, Lochwinnoch, PA12 4JF.
Please all gather outside the RSPB car park at 13:30.
On the same side of the road carefully walk along the pavement towards the blue and white wedding sign on your left. You will see a gate and our ushers will be waiting there to welcome guests and guide everyone through the woodland walk to the ceremony space. Should you be running late an usher will remain at this wedding gate collection area until 13:40.
To reach the ceremony area, guests will enjoy a beautiful 15-minute woodland walk, which may be muddy so we highly recommend wearing flat or comfortable walking shoes and bring an umbrella in case of unpredictable Scottish weather.
A marquee will be set up in the walled garden near the tree ceremony area should the weather take a turn, and there will also be two portable toilets available nearby for guests. We will not have access to the main house.
Thank you for helping us preserve the calm and beauty of this very special place — we cannot wait to celebrate with you all.
