FAQs

When is the wedding?

Saturday 23rd May 2026 in beautiful Suffolk.
Day guests are warmly invited to arrive from 1pm, with the ceremony beginning promptly at 2pm.
Evening guests are welcome to join the celebrations from 7pm onwards.

Where is the ceremony?

Alpheton Hall
Church Lane, Alpheton, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 9BL

Coaches will be arranged at midnight to take guests back to the main accommodation and Sudbury town centre — we'll confirm nearer the time for numbers.

What is the dress code?

We’d love everyone to dress up — smart suits and dresses are perfect.

We kindly ask that you avoid wearing these colours, as they’re the bridesmaids’ dresses:

What happens after the ceremony?

Join us for the wedding breakfast, followed by an evening of music, drinks, and celebrations.

Where should we stay?

We're currently arranging new accommodation options for guests, as our original booking is no longer available.

Please check back here for updates — more details coming soon!

Alternatively, the nearest larger town is Sudbury, where you'll find plenty of hotels and guest rooms.

Who is invited?

We're so looking forward to celebrating with you! Please note that the invitation is only for the people named on your invite — we are keeping things small and intimate, so we kindly ask that you don’t bring additional guests or children. Thank you for understanding.

Do you have a gift list?

Your presence is genuinely the only gift we want. We know weddings come with their own costs, especially with accommodation — and simply booking a room to join us is more than enough.

If you really feel you’d like to contribute something, a small donation towards our honeymoon fund would be perfect.

When should we RSVP?

Please RSVP by 1st November 2025 via our website: vanrileywedding.co.uk
