The Smith Wedding | James & Sophie

The Invitation

Come for the wedding, stay for the weekend

We would love for you to spend the whole weekend with us in the beautiful highlands of Mistvale. Think golf and spa days, a welcome dinner in the Orchard, a wedding day full of love and dancing, and a slow Sunday of gin tasting and brunch in town. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.

The Weekend

Four days in the highlands. The wedding is on Saturday at 3 pm in the gardens at the Great Barn. Tap a place to find your way there.

Mistvale, The Highlands

The Venue

Highland Meadow Estate, on Meadow Lane just outside Mistvale: about three hours from the city.

Getting there

Highland Meadow Estate
1 Meadow Lane, Mistvale

Directions to the main gate

We ask for your location once, only to work out the drive. Nothing is kept.

The drive

From the city
About 260 km and roughly 3 hours: the motorway east to Ashbridge, then the hill road north for about 30 km to Mistvale.
From the coast
About 190 km and roughly 2.5 hours: the valley road inland to Ashbridge, then the same hill road north to Mistvale.
The whole drive

From the airport
From the city airport it is about 240 km, roughly 2 h 40 min, on the same motorway.

The last stretch
The paved way to the estate runs through Mistvale village: Heron Street, over the stone bridge, then Meadow Lane for about 2.5 km. Take it slowly: the sheep have right of way.

The long weekend
It is a long weekend, and the motorway is at its busiest on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Leave early if you can.

Tolls
There is one toll plaza on the motorway, just before Ashbridge.

Fuel
There are fuel stations in Ashbridge and in Mistvale.
The main gate
It is paved all the way to the gate. In Mistvale, pass the village green, turn left into Heron Street and cross the stone bridge. At the end turn right onto Meadow Lane: the gate is on your right after about 2.5 km, between two brick pillars.

The Wedding Party

The people who have loved us, laughed with us and put up with us. We are so grateful they will be standing beside us.

Our bridesmaids will be in Sage Mist and our groomsmen in Stone Khaki, so you will spot them easily on the day.
