We're tying the knot!
After getting engaged on a trip to the Isle of the Skye, we're so excited to officially tie the knot on Saturday 5th September 2026.
We'd love for you to join us on what we hope will be a glorious sunny Saturday eating great food, drinking good wine, and maybe the occasional embarrassing dance.
After a long search, we finally found Willow Marsh Farm, a spectacular restored farm estate nestled in it’s own private nature oasis.
At Willow Marsh there is plenty of space to take in the beautiful surroundings, enjoy a glass of fizz on the sunlit courtyard, or dance the night away in the barn next to the burning fire.
We hope that you'll find everything you need here, but if there's anything we haven't covered please just get in touch.
Hope to see you in September!
Love El & Jord x

Willow Marsh has everything we could possibly want, all in the same place.
The ceremony, meal and party in the evening will all take place on the Farm, so you only need to make two journeys.
Fingers crossed, the ceremony will be taking place outside and this may be jinxing it but please make sure you’re wearing sunscreen…
The ceremony starts at 1:30pm on the dot, and you can arrive anytime from 12:30pm onwards.
The bar will be open when you arrive and you’re more than welcome to kick-start the day with a drink and soak up the peaceful surroundings while catching up with friends and family.
To cap off the day our talented live band will be playing one final tune before the bar closes at 11:30pm. Please ensure you've booked your getaway car for then.
Willow Marsh Farm is in a central part of the country, and is close to Loughborough, Nottingham, or even East Midlands Airport.
To help you decide where to stay, we’ve put together a
list some hotels that might offer some guidance.
Yes and yes. If you’re driving, there is plenty of parking at Willow Marsh and one of the lovely Willow Marsh staff will be on hand to direct you.
Alternatively, there are some
local taxi companies that have been recommended.
Please note, Willow Marsh is quite remote and there is no uber, so we’d suggest pre-booking your taxis.
For the end of the night, please arrange your taxi for 11:30pm -11:45pm as the gates will shut at midnight.
Please let us know if you can make it by 20th July.
After that date, we will have to let Thomas, our caterer, know how many people he needs to cook for to make sure there is plenty of food for everyone to enjoy and fill up on.
If we haven’t heard from you after the deadline, we will sadly assume you can’t make it.
We really hope you can, but if you can’t please let us know so we’re not left wondering.
You can RSVP using the form at the top of the website, but if there’s any problems using the form just let us know.
We’ve invited our closest friends and family to celebrate with us, and if you have a plus one this will be included in your invitation.
We’d love for you to dress up on what will hopefully be a sunny and warm late summers day, and would love to see you in garden cocktail attire.
It is England and the evenings can get chilly (or heaven forbid, rainy) so you may want to bring a light jacket…
To quote the cliche, your presence is your present!
We’re very lucky that we brought our first house together last year, and have everything we would want or need.
There’s no expectation to gift us anything, but if you would like we’ve put together a
list on Prezola, where you can gift us a meal or experience on our tour of Scotland.
Jade, our exceptionally talented photographer, will be capturing the day as it unfolds, but please feel free to capture your own memories throughout the day.
We would politely ask that you hold off taking any photos during the ceremony so you can sit back and take in the moment.
After the day, we’ll be able to share the official photos of you all looking dressed up and celebrating with us.
Thomas, our wonderful caterer will be cooking up a delicious menu including canapes, a three-course family style meal and evening food.
We’ve worked alongside him to make sure that everyone will be able to enjoy their food including anyone with allergies.
When you RSVP, please make sure you let us know any allergies or dietries but if you have any questions or concerns or would like to know more about the food options please do get in touch with one of us.
We have decided that for our wedding day, we would like the day to be fully sober.
Only kidding, don’t worry.
Willow Marsh have a wonderful bar stocked with plenty of alcoholic and soft drink options to suit everyone's taste, and we took great joy in carefully selecting some wine from the Farms cellar to go along with our delicious dinner.
The bar will be open when you arrive if you’d like to enjoy a tipple before the ceremony and enjoy the surroundings and will stay open until 11:30pm, and takes cash or card.
We hope we’ve answered all of your questions, but if there’s anything else on your mind please drop either of us a message or email us at elandjord@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you.
