Our Venues
Two utterly magical settings for the most important day of our lives (so far — we said that about finding a babysitter too).
One of England's oldest and most beautiful churches, in the heart of Dorchester-on-Thames. We'll be making it official right here — 17 years in the making.

Glamorous, eccentric, utterly wonderful — The Crazy Bear in Stadhampton is the perfect backdrop for three courses, speeches and a proper dance. Expect the unexpected.

The party doesn't stop. Join us the next day at our local for a relaxed BBQ lunch — good food, cold drinks and the chance to put the world to rights after the night before.
No dress code. No formalities. Just good people and great company.
Getting Here
Dorchester-on-Thames is easy to reach — and worth the journey.
Dorchester-on-Thames is just off the A4074, about 8 miles south of Oxford. Free parking at the Abbey and nearby. The Crazy Bear is a further 5 miles via Stadhampton.
Nearest stations: Didcot Parkway (5 miles) or Oxford (9 miles). Taxis available from both — we recommend pre-booking. Firms to follow.
We'll arrange a shared coach from the Abbey to The Crazy Bear. For the return journey, local taxi firms will be listed here — or coordinate lift shares with fellow guests!
Rooms available at The Crazy Bear for guests wishing to stay — contact them directly and mention the wedding. B&Bs in Dorchester village too. Details coming soon.
