Alexandra&James
Saturday, the Twenty-First of June, 2026
Some evenings are worth every preparation.
The Evening
"This is not a reception. It is a composition."
Alexandra and James have spent the better part of a year constructing this evening with the same deliberateness one applies to a rare undertaking. Every element — the room, the light, the music, the table — has been considered and reconsidered until it was right.
You have been invited because you are someone for whom this level of care was worth extending. The dress code is black tie. The expectation is that you will arrive as someone who understands what that means.
The evening will begin at seven o'clock and conclude when it is finished. Between those hours, everything has been arranged.
The Ceremony
A private exchange of vows before those who matter most. Conducted with the gravity it deserves.
The Dinner
A seated dinner of five courses, composed by a chef whose name you will recognise. Wine selected with care.
The Evening
Dancing until the hour grows late. Music that understands the room. A night that will not be replicated.
The Programme
Saturday, 21st June 2026 · Claridge's, London
Arrival & Champagne Reception
Guests are received in the Anteroom. Champagne and canapés are served. The evening commences.
The Ceremony
Guests are invited to be seated in the Grand Salon. The ceremony will last approximately thirty minutes.
The Wedding Dinner
A five-course dinner is served at table. The menu has been composed for this evening only.
Speeches & Toasts
A small number of those who know them best will speak. The toasts will be worth raising a glass for.
Dancing
The floor is opened. The orchestra plays. The evening finds its natural conclusion in its own time.
Late Supper
For those who remain, a late supper will be laid. The bar remains open until the last guest departs.
Dress
Black Tie
Gentlemen: Black dinner jacket. Ladies: Full-length evening dress.
