Welcome, Curious Creatures, to WONDERFEST!
The Wedding of Aaron Carty & Matthew Pieterse
Today is a day like no other—a day where time ticks backwards, teacups are filled with cocktails, and love is louder than the Queen of Hearts herself! We invite you to tumble into our topsy-turvy world and celebrate a love that’s been eight years (and ten pugs) in the making.
ARRIVAL THROUGH THE RABBIT HOLE: 1:00 PM
Though the wedding ceremony begins at 4:00 PM, the Wonderland revelry starts much earlier, so don't be late (unless you’re the White Rabbit).
Enjoy a wonderland of street food delights, bubbles of prosecco, and a twirl of cocktails with a twist.
Your host, the ever-curious Mad Hatter, will guide you through a tea-cup cocktail-making adventure—one for yourself and one for a new friend (or stranger, or Dormouse...).
THE QUEENS’ COURT OF GLAMPING
Our bell tent village awaits you! Why stay in a normal inn when you can stay in Wonderland?
-
Standard Bell Tent (for 2 nights): £165
-
Luxurious “Off With Their Headboard” Bell Tent: £450
Expect a glam tent fit for the Queen of Hearts—mirrors, hair & makeup stylists, and even a private shower block so you can sparkle like the stars at the Mad Hatter’s Ball.
Not Feeling the Glamping Magic?
Fear not, dear dormouse. Local lodging options await your slumber:
TRAVEL & TRANSPORT
Parking is limited and off-site in Wonderland, so please car-share where possible or arrive by magical means (a broomstick, flying teacup, or carpool will do nicely). No cars are able to stay on site.
LAST ARRIVAL TO THE MADNESS: 3:00 PM
THE MOST MAGICAL CEREMONY: 4:00 PM
Find your seat, teacup in hand, and prepare to witness Aaron and Matthew strut fabulously through the enchanted garden. Music will fill the air as they say “I do” with hearts full of love and shoes full of flair.
LET’S CELEBRATE! 5:00 PM
After the ceremony, wander through the cocktail garden once more, where you’ll find:
Enchanted afternoon tea (mostly cocktails)
A towering cake of whimsical proportions
Curious entertainment
Surprise appearances by pug royalty
Dancing that would make even Tweedledee and Tweedledum spin!
HOG ROAST FEAST: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The Queen has declared it’s time to eat!
Devour delicious bites from our hog roast banquet, perfect to fuel your return to the glittering dance floor.
FIRE PIT FINALE: 10:00 PM
As the stars blink awake, gather ‘round the fire pit.
Toast your cocktails.
Toast your marshmallows.
Toast the day, the love, and the madness that brought us here.
So don your most curious hat, bring your maddest grin, and prepare to fall in love with love all over again.
We’re all mad here… and it’s absolutely wonderful.
CARRIAGES: 11PM
For those not staying in our glamping bell tents.
