Poppydown Vineyard, Mayhill Lane, Droxford, Southampton, SO32 3AH
Our journey to the aisle started in 2021 with a right swipe on our phones. We quickly realised this was something special and we became boyfriend and girlfriend within a few weeks. Since then, we have been on an epic adventure, from exploring the world, to enjoying the simple life at home with two cockapoos. We always knew marriage was going to be part of our story and we are unbelievably excited for you to be part of it.

Accommodation

There are no onsite overnight stay options at the vineyard, but there are plenty of Air BnBs and hotels to suit every budget in the local area. If you don’t know where to start try either New Place Hotel or Meon Valley Hotel, both are under a 15 minute drive away. 

Travel

The best way to travel is by car, as the vineyard is in the middle of nowhere! Use SAT Nav for directions, and there will be signposts. 

Taxis

Two local taxis you can use:
Chase Cars – 01489 894 433
Hedge End Cab Co – 01489 788 955
It's probably worth booking in advance just in case the signal is a bit dodgy.

Are kids welcome?

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event (with the exception of a niece and nephew) so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening.

Can I bring a date?

Due to the size of our venue, we're unfortunately unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those invited. We hope you understand and can't wait to celebrate with you!

Where should I park?

There is plenty of free parking at the venue. You are able to leave your car overnight and collect the following morning by 11am. 

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony will be (weather permitting) outdoors, but we have a backup plan in case of rain. The reception will be indoors, so we'll be all set no matter the weather!

What should I wear?

There is no dress code. The ceremony (weather permitting) will take place outside on grass, so maybe avoid stilettos.

Are there any colours that guests should avoid wearing?

A white dress … apart from that wear any colours you would like!

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

We’ve got an excellent photographer & videographer to capture our special day and ask that you do not use your phones during the ceremony. However, you are more than welcome to take photos and videos of the rest of the night!

What time should I arrive?

Guests are asked to arrive no later than 2pm for welcome drinks to ensure that the ceremony can run smoothly. The groom and bar is available from 1.30pm!

I have dietary restrictions/allergies. What’s the best way to let you know?

There will be an option to let us know when you electronically RSVP.

Will last names be changing after the wedding?

Each of us is attached to our names and wanted to have a shared surname. So, we're excited to have you there as we become Mr & Mrs Cuthbert-Harrington!

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by 1st June 2025 at the latest. This is so we can finalise numbers with the venue, confirm any food allergies and start thinking about the seating plan.

Who should I go to with questions?

If you have any questions in the run up to the day, give either of us a message or a call!

Celebrating with us on our big day is honestly the greatest gift we could ever ask for. If you wish to give a gift as well, we’ve added a few things to our registry that would be greatly appreciated!
