DRESS CODE
Most of the event spaces at Wilderness Reserve are set in nature, so we recommend choosing your attire and footwear accordingly. If the weather works in our favour, the only portion of the events that will take place inside is the dance party!
Please also note that some event spaces are a 10-15 minute walk from each other, on rural grass, forest paths and gravel in some areas, so we recommend avoiding stilettos or heels that might sink into the terrain or collect dust/mud.
You can find more details about the dress code for each event by clicking on the applicable button below.

Welcome Party
Polished English country cocktail ensembles that lean into breezy fabrics, chic silhouettes and creative layering with statement accessories welcome!
Our Welcome Party will be a relaxed, fireside event in the forest of Wilderness Reserve. We highly recommend boots, flats or comfortable shoes, as we will walk along a rural pasture path to reach the location.

DRESS CODE
Black Tie. Long dresses/gowns for ladies and tuxedos for gentlemen. As far as colors go, we welcome earth tones, neutrals and metallics! If you do not own a tux, there are many options to rent.
While the Wedding Ceremony will take place in the Forest, transportation will be provided from your property at Wilderness to the forest entry point. We recommend footwear that you're comfortable wearing on natural, woodland terrain as there will be some uncovered paths from the drop-off point to the ceremony seating itself (approximately 3-4 minute walk).

Dedicated parking spaces are available at each of the properties at Wilderness Reserve. When you enter the reception for Sibton Estate, an attendant will direct you to yours.
All of the properties and event spaces at Sibton Estate are easily walkable from one another, though transportation will be provided back to your property following the Welcome Party. We have also arranged transportation from Sibton Manor to the Forest Ceremony on the Wedding Day. Outside of these moments, please plan to walk with the group.
