Food
We’ve been lucky enough to have spent many balmy nights in India, eating the world’s greatest cuisine. And every time we’ve been there, we’ve thought, “how great would it be if were here?”
Unfortunately, India is a long way away - so you’ll have to settle for a delicious Indian meal in a balmy Brixton basement instead.
Trust us - you’re going to love it.
Music
As a classically trained violinist, guitarist and DJ who once played Room 1 at the O2 Academy (in Oxford), music has been a constant throughout Chris’ life.
Meanwhile, Lily went to see Busted twice in 2024…
We’ll be putting together a joyful mix of music for you on the day: a funk and soul band to get things going, plenty for the dance floor, and a very special brother-in-law DJ set from Chris & Max.
FAQs
A few quick answers to the questions we’ve been asked most.
What should I wear?
Whatever you’d normally wear to a wedding and feel good in. Think celebratory but comfortable enough to enjoy the day (and the dance floor).
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Mostly indoors, with a lovely small courtyard outdoor area if the weather is on our side. Feel free to dress for both - sunshine encouraged.
Are children welcome?
Sorry, this will be an adults-only celebration.
How do I get there?
The venue is just a 3-minute walk from Brixton Station, with great transport links nearby.
Can I bring a plus-one?
We wish we could invite everyone, but we’re only able to host the guests named on the invitation.
Gifts
We’re so lucky to have everything we need and you coming to our wedding is enough of a gift.
That said…if you do want to contribute, we’d love to turn your generosity into unforgettable honeymoon adventures in Japan!
