Welcome to the soon to be MR & MRS HARRISON wedding website.


This website has everything you need to know; from how we met, to when we say 'I DO'.


We are honestly so blown away by the love and kind words we have had for our up-and-coming wedding. We would not be the couple/people that we are today, without the support of our amazing family and friends.


So, Thank You for just being you xx

Let’s get the party started

We are almost as excited for this evening event, as we are for the wedding day!

This event starts off all the celebrations for the wedding. And what better way to do it then with a Big Hog Roast and Live Entertainment!

The Hog Roast will be cooked out on the lawns, Local beer and Wine will flow and we have a great musician, followed by some of our favourite music.

This will be the time to unwind after the journey, where we can eat, drink and be merry. We cant wait to have you all there.

Grasmere Lake

A glass of bubbles and a slice of cake.... on a lake

Join us, for a toured walk on the beautiful Grasmere Lake. This walk is for all, and is an easy 1hr round trip.

We will meet in reception on the Saturday, in hopefully glorious sunshine.... fingers crossed. If not pop your waterproofs on, as whatever the weather, the Lakes are so amazing, and definitely not worth missing out on. 

Please let us know if you plan to join by RSVPing on the event, so we make sure we bring enough glasses and cake.

Honeymoon
Honeymoon

We are off on our first ever proper holiday as a couple. We used to be far too social and enjoy everyone's company, rather than just each others.

Our plan is to escape as a newly married couple to The French Riviera, then travel across to Corsica and then our final destination is Sardinia.

We are so excited, to travel, eat, drink and enjoy being married away from the hustle and bustle of life back home.

The most important part other than us saying 'I do', is to have all our family and friends with us on this special occasion. We cannot put into words how grateful we are that you are joining us.

A gift is not expected, and honestly your gift is your presence. But if you would like to make a donation to our honeymoon fund, where we can build more memories as MR AND MRS HARRISON, then please click on the link below, that takes you to our Honeymoon fund pot.
