UNTIL THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY
SATURDAY 27 FEBRUARY 2027
Please join us to celebrate our engagement.
It is an evening of laughs, memories, drag and karaoke.
First Event · Open to All Friends & Family
The first celebration, and the one that kicks everything off. Everyone who has been there for special moments in both of our lives is welcome. Expect laughs, drag, karaoke and a dancefloor at the Holiday Inn, Corby.
Come ready to sing badly and dance worse.
Food & Drink
The food is on us, we are self-catering this one with love, saving for the wedding! So Dominik & Scott will be making everything by hand. Expect a generous spread of canapés, snacks, and cakes. There is no proper sit-down dinner though, so please have a big lunch before you come and you will be golden.
The full menu is still coming together and once we have settled on what we are serving, we will share the list here. Drinks are available to buy at the bar all night. 🥂
Most importantly, there is a spot on the RSVP to flag any allergies or dietary preferences. Just tell us there and we will make sure there is plenty for everyone.
When You Walk In
Your first job of the night: grab the Polaroid camera by the door and take a selfie. Just you, or your whole group. Give it a moment to develop, write your names on the white strip, and pop it into our memory book.
We would love a snap of everyone arriving, with a few words alongside that mean something. We just want to keep these memories of all the people we love in one place, so the sillier and crazier the better.
On the Night
No party of ours would be complete without a little something different, so we have a fabulous drag act joining us for the night.
Expect big ballads, big wigs and plenty of fun. She will be running the decks and karaoke, getting everyone up on their feet and making sure nobody sits still for long. It is going to be a riot, and exactly the kind of night we wanted to throw.
Give her a follow on Instagram before the big day so you know who to cheer for.
A Note on Gifts
Honestly, please do not bring a gift. We have everything we need at home, and the only thing we really want is you there celebrating with us.
We will follow the Croatian tradition of Koverta. Read the story here.
The Day After · Everyone Welcome
The Holiday Inn are providing a private dining room for up to 40 people. A relaxed get-together the day after the party, with good food and a gentle wind-down before everyone heads off. Locals and travelling guests alike, anyone still around is welcome. Breakfast is part of the room charge, but if you live in Corby and are not staying at the hotel and would like to come along, just let us know.
Food & Drink
Unlike the party, this one is not on us. Sunday breakfast is a relaxed sit-down at the Holiday Inn where everyone pays for their own meal. We are keeping our budget for the wedding, so we cannot fund this one, but it is a lovely, low-key way to round off the weekend together before everyone heads home.
Take a look at the menu, and just let us know on your RSVP if you will be joining so we can give the hotel a rough number.
Coming From Abroad?
Some of you are travelling to be here for the engagement, thank you. Tell us which nights you would come in and who is travelling with you, and we will help sort the best room prices we can.
Getting Here
London Stansted (STN) is the closest. London Luton (LTN), easiest hop to Corby. About 45 minutes away and a direct train. We will be in Corby from Saturday morning until we check out Sunday afternoon, then we head to ours in Thorney, Peterborough.
Flying in just for the day is totally fine by us, but if you would like to come earlier or stay longer, just let us know on your RSVP.
Where to Stay
The party itself is right here at the Holiday Inn, so you can stay exactly where the celebration is. Scott’s work has negotiated a discounted rate so we can pass this on, everyone books and pays for their own room separately (we will pass those details on to anyone that needs it). Stay whichever nights suit you, anywhere from Friday to Monday. And if you are staying over, the hotel has a spa, gym and pool you are welcome to use, so make sure to go and check it out.
Fancy being near us rather than in Corby? The Rose & Crown in our village is a lovely spot to stay, perfect if you are coming early or making more of the trip. Thorney is a pretty model village out in the fens, rebuilt by the 7th Duke of Bedford, whose Duchess, Anna, is the very person credited with inventing afternoon tea. Rooms are booked & paid by you.
Thorney sits just outside Peterborough. If you are staying at the Rose & Crown, get a train to Peterborough and one of us will pick you up by car. Heading home, you would travel Peterborough → Airport, or we will try to run you to the airport ourselves. Just tell us on your RSVP and we will figure it out together.
When you RSVP, you will tell us which nights you are coming in, who is travelling with you and where you would like to stay. This way we can gather all the dates and organise everything.
