FAQ

How should I get there?

We'd recommend bringing sensible shoes to do the 1.5km walk to the pub, or booking your taxi in advance.

 

There will be no guaranteed parking available for guests at the venue!

What do I have to wear?

We're going to be dressed relatively nicely, but there's no strict dress code. Think lounge suits or summer garden party. Flowery dresses are fine, nice suits, or chinos and a shirt. See the pictures below if you want some inspiration.

What about the weather?

The Met Office says it's reasonably likely to rain, but we'll be in a marquee (with flooring). There may be muddy bits around the pub, as it's right next to a river.

Why?

 We got married without telling (almost all of) you because we thought it would be funny.

Sorry.

Please allow us to make it up to you by buying you dinner and drinks at a lovely pub in Oxford.

What did I miss?

The ceremony happened on the 26th May 2023. It was in Oxford with immediate family only, so that you could skip the boring stuff and only join for the fun bit.

I called it!

Not a question, but frequently said. Well done! You called it. Congrats on settling your bet.

Can I bring my +1?

We've tried to name partners and plus ones on your invite! If they're not named, let us know.

Where should I stay?

There are loads of places to stay in Oxford, and there's a list further down the page. It's a bank holiday weekend, so you might want to book something in advance

Should I bring a gift?

Given that we didn't actually tell you that we were getting married, it'd be unfair for us to ask for anything.

Please feel free to buy us a drink or make a donation to the Trussell Trust in our names.

Quickfire

Are you changing your names?

No.

Is there a boat?

No.

RSVP

We've sent you a card in the post, which is hopefully how you found this website. You can RSVP by sending it back to us (you'll have to buy your own stamps. We spent the stamp money on dinner), by emailing us at rsvp@anna-matt.wedding or by filling in this form.

Where to Stay

You might want to stay in Oxford after the party, so here are some of our suggestions.

 

Premier Inn

There are two Premier Inns in Oxford, one in Botley and one in centre of town. They're about the same distance away from the Perch. It's slightly easier to get to and from Botley, but slightly nicer to stay in the centre of town if you want to do some tourism on Monday.

 

Premier Inn Oxford

Premier Inn Westgate

 

College

If you're an Oxford alumnus, you could try emailing your college. They tend to have a few rooms available, but supply might be constrained as it's term time.

 

AirBnb / vrbo / etc

There's a thousand of these; the city is overrun with them. Search closer to the time and see what you find; might be worth grouping together?

VRBO Oxford

 

Other Hotels

Check TripAdvisor for a list; anything in the town centre should be suitable.
