8 August 2026 ✶ St Mary the Less, Cambridge
We are so looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding. Your presence means a great deal to us, both because it would be no fun without you, and because you are a community of witnesses to the sacrament of holy matrimony into which we are entering. We are so grateful for the support and love which you have given us at different times in our lives, and which is a model to us in the lifelong commitment we are making to each other before you and before God. As we approach this joyful event, your prayers are deeply appreciated if you are someone who prays; we are praying for you.
In the meantime, thank you for filling out the RSVP form below, and for consulting this website, which we hope will be a helpful source of information. If there’s anything for which you can’t find an answer here, please do get in touch with either of us.
With much love,
Finn & Rhianna
Our wedding will be held at 3pm on Saturday, the 8th of August 2026, at Little St Mary’s church, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1QG. Please do arrive at the church any time from 2.15pm for a prompt start on the hour. There is no parking at or very near the church itself as it is in the centre of Cambridge, but several public car parks are within a short walk. The church is easily accessible by buses to Cambridge city centre, including buses from the station or from Park and Ride sites.
The party afterwards takes place slightly outside of Cambridge, at Eversden Village Hall, 4 Chapel Road, Great Eversden, CB23 1HP. There is no precise start time, but we expect to reach the hall by the early evening. We have hired a coach for those who need transport from the church to the venue after the service. Please indicate in your RSVP form if you will need a space on the coach. Otherwise, the hall has parking for around 30 cars.
At the reception, you are most welcome to stay the whole night, but also to leave a bit earlier if you need to. The latest leaving time will be around 11.30pm as it is part of the hiring conditions that the event finish before midnight. Please make your own arrangements to travel home (or to accommodation) from the venue. We regret that neither public transport nor acccommodation is available at the venue. Cambridge cab companies and Uber both operate in the area; a pre-booked taxi to Cambridge station should be in the region of £30. Please ask if you’d like to be put in touch with people who might like to ride-share with you.
The marriage itself takes place in the church service. We have chosen a nuptial Mass, which means that we will be married within a Mass service. We expect this to last for about 60-90 minutes, and it will include readings, hymns, music from the choir and organist, a short sermon, and a celebration of the Eucharist. To us, this is the most important part of the day, and we are very grateful to have you joining us, as witnesses to our sacramental vows.
Everybody, of all faiths and none, will be made very welcome in church. Little St Mary’s is part of the Church of England. If you are baptised and usually go to church and receive communion, you are welcome to do so here.
After the service we will take a very small number of photographs, then head to the village hall in Eversden for the reception. We have planned a cheerful and informal event which we hope will be lots of fun. There is no sit-down meal or long series of speeches, but there will be plenty of food and drink to enjoy informally, as well as music and dancing. We expect to provide a selection of both soft and alcoholic drinks free of charge throughout the evening; please drink sensibly.
We’re still working on the precise details for some things (like the food and service music) — please do check back here for updates if you like.
Please do be sure to reminds us about any dietary requirements, access needs, or related questions in your RSVP form. Here are a few items we have anticipated:
If you feel strongly that you would like to give us something in honour of the occasion, we would gratefully accept contributions to help fund our honeymoon near Dubrovnik (to acct. 01423252, sort 07-09-76). Alternatively, you might like to make a donation to the UN’s Sudan Crisis Relief fund. But please don’t feel you need to do either! We are really and truly not expecting any kind of gift.
If your child(ren) was not named on your invitation, but bringing them would enable you to attend when you couldn’t otherwise, please do let one of us know.
