Marriage isn’t something short. And neither is our wedding.

As the Bible says, marriage is for life. We hope you’ll continue celebrating and supporting us over our whole lives. And rather than constraining the wedding celebrations to one day, we’d like to celebrate with you in celebrating over a weekend rather than just a day. As such, our wedding is from Friday 26th January 2024 to Sunday 28th January 2024 and hence why we have exclusive use of the venue and bedrooms over the entire weekend.

As a very simple overview: Friday afternoon will be arrivals, check-ins and a welcome dinner. We appreciate that people will be travelling long distances, and we’ll be pleased to see you whenever you arrive. Saturday is the day for chilled activities in the morning (there’s plenty of wonderful scenery to enjoy) ahead of the ceremony in the afternoon and reception in the evening. And on Sunday we’ll host a leisurely brunch and Sunday church service before departures.

  • Departures

Whilst we’ve listed departures on Sunday afternoon, The Venue has plenty of capacity as a guest house for the days before and the week after our wedding. So since the Bernese Oberland and Jungfrau region around Interlaken is so beautiful, why not make a holiday of it and stay on a few days to explore more or go skiing as apparently nearby there are three ski regions with more than 200 km of slopes…

Although we really would love it if you can join us for the whole weekend, if with children you feel that it’s a bit too much then we still be pleased to have your company for just the Saturday afternoon. Please indicate on the RSVP for how long you join us for.
