Engagement Party
The celebration
Join us at The Ivy Harrogate for drinks, food, music and plenty of celebrating as we mark the beginning of our next chapter together. For anyone who fancies it, we'll be at the Harrogate Christmas markets from around 5:00pm beforehand — and the morning after, we'd love to host you for breakfast and mimosas at our new Harrogate house.

What to expect
The evening, roughly
Christmas markets first
For anyone who wants to make a night of it, we'll be wandering the Harrogate Christmas markets from around 5:00pm — mulled wine, lights and a warm-up before dinner. Entirely optional; just come and find us.
Welcome drinks
A glass in your hand within a minute of arriving. Champagne, something olive-y, and a proper non-alcoholic list.
Food
Generous sharing plates served through the evening rather than a formal sit-down. Tell us about any dietary needs when you RSVP.
Music and dancing
Something civilised early on, considerably less civilised after the toasts. Song requests welcome on the RSVP form.
Photography
A photographer will be with us for part of the evening. We'd love you to take pictures too.
Late-night celebrations
The bar stays open and the music keeps going. Carriages when you're ready.
Breakfast the morning after
The day after, we're opening the doors of our new Harrogate house for breakfast and mimosas — half recovery, half housewarming. Come whenever you surface; there'll be plenty of coffee.
Dress code
Cocktail attire
Think elegant and celebratory: a cocktail dress, a jumpsuit, a sharp suit. Soft neutrals, deep greens and espresso tones suit the room beautifully — though you should wear whatever makes you feel wonderful.
