We have arranged for professional photography throughout the day. We kindly ask that during the ceremony, you keep cameras and phones away so you can be fully present with us. We'd also like to be the first to share the pictures with the world, so please hold off on posting on social media until after our photos are published.
We love your little ones, but we've decided to keep our celebration adults-only - other than immediate family - to allow everyone to relax and enjoy the day.
There are multiple options in Cambridge, see the link below for local hotels and BnBs.

The word ceilidh comes from the Gaelic word “céilidh,” which originally referred to a social gathering or party, often featuring music, dancing & storytelling. Traditionally, a ceilidh gathering involves live music played on traditional Scottish instruments like the fiddle, accordion, and bagpipes, with coordinated dancing performed by groups alongside the music.
An 'event caller' will act as a guide, leading dancers through the steps, and providing cues for when to start and stop, so no experience is needed! The upbeat and lively music will be performed by Licence to Ceilidh, London's top ceilidh band. We can't wait to see you on the dancefloor. Don't worry, it'll be fun!
We should be absolutely delighted to celebrate with you! Kindly respond by Friday 1st May 2026.
