Transport

There will be a shuttle service on Saturday picking up guests from Stockbridge village, taking them to the church, and then going back to Stockbridge at the end of the night. The last evening shuttle will depart at 2am.
There is no shuttle service to/from the Friday Welcome Drinks, or to the Sunday Recovery Party. For the rest of the weekend, we strongly advise everyone has access to a car as we're in  true countryside and public transport is not really a thing!
Please see below for local taxi options if you wish to prebook any journeys.

Our Adventures

Our wedding is the start of our best adventure yet so we thought we'd list some of the other adventures we've had so far...
- We met on a very rainy St Patrick's Day in Dublin in 2017, and since then we've lived together in London, Singapore and New York. Paris is next on the list!
- Since moving to New York in 2022, we've visited 18 US states and (through a combination of work and holiday travel) over 25 cities. Some (New Orleans) more glamorous than others (Detroit)...
- Our favourite holiday so far was a somewhat unexpected one - a Covid lockdown in 2020 turned a weekend trip to France into an impromptu 8 week roadtrip, starting in Normandy and ending in Monaco!

Registry

Your love and support is the most meaningful gift we could ask for, and we mean it when we say having our loved ones there to celebrate with us is all we need. But if you're really stubborn (!) we'd be incredibly grateful for contributions towards some big moments coming up in our married life...
Honeymoon Fund
In November we'll be setting off for safari in Botswana, including stops at the beautiful Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls. After that we'll head to Mozambique for some beach time in paradise. 
Puppy / Kitten Fund
We've always dreamed of welcoming a furry friend into our life - your contribution equals your vote for Team Kitten or Team Puppy!
Setting Up Home
After the wedding we're planning to finally take a pause on the globe trotting and would welcome contributions to our home together (continent TBD!)
