Dan & Benji

We're getting married on the 12th September 2025 and you're invited!

Tell me more...

We're in! Where do we need to be?

The wedding is taking place at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall. It's right in the centre of York. The whole day is there, so you won't have to worry about transport during the day..

Merchant Adventurers' Hall, Fossgate, York, YO1 9XD

Day 1 - The Wedding

Arrive for 13:00. The rest is as follows:

13:30 Arrival Drinkies
14:00 The ~~boring bit~~ Ceremony
14:30 Canapés - yummy!
16:30 Formal Sit Down Dinner (posh!)
18:15 Drinks, dancing, merriment and all the rest
23:30 Carriages (fine, Ubers)

Day 1... so there's a Day 2?!

Day 2 - Picnics & Pizza

Arrive from 12:30.

We know a lot of people will have had to travel a fair way, and we don't really want the party to stop. So, Saturday 13th September is "picnic & pizza" day at our house.

You've already spent a fortune by this point we're sure, so everything is on us! There'll be pork pies, sandwiches, cheeses. There'll also be all the beer, wine, fizz and spirits you can drink. Please don't bring anything!

Do, however, feel free to bring someone. Children will be welcome today.

We'd like to get you a gift...

Please don't! We've been to enough of these now to know how expensive they are, just turning up is the best gift you could possibly give.

For those who absolutely insist, we will of course be very grateful and appreciative of any and all gifts. There are details in your invite about how to contribute to our honeymoon fund, otherwise, you'll also be able to leave any gifts with us at the venue. But seriously, don't! 😊

What else do I need to know?

...

Dress Code

Dress to impress! Suits, dresses, go for it.

Booze?

Lots. There'll be some money behind the bar and the bar will take cards.

Shoes

Ladies and gays should be aware that stilettos are not allowed. In order to protect the floor in the venue, heels must be at least the size of a 5p coin.
