We hope you can join us to celebrate becoming Mr and Mrs Cooper on the 15th of July 2023!
Please join us as an evening guest and dance the night away!
We will be getting married at Folly Farm which is based on a nature reserve in Somerset. There are a few walks around the reserve and some great views overlooking Chew Valley and the Mendip Hills.
The venue is environmentally sustainable and gives all profits from weddings back into the Avon Wildlife Trust, just one reason why we love it there!
We will be surrounded by our loved ones, wildlife and woodlands as we celebrate our wedding and start our married life together.

We do not wish for presents,
we hope you do not mind,
We haven’t got a gift list,
there’s nothing we could find.
But if this won’t persuade you,
then this is our request,
To our honeymoon or charities,
a donation would be best.
Causes closest to our hearts,
or an adventure in Peru,
Either way, we will know,
it's truly thanks to you!
