وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً

And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts.

A lantern lit,
and a door left open

Our families invite you to share our Walima. One evening, one long table, and the people who made us.

Come as you are, early if you can. The lantern will be lit and there will be a seat with your name beside it.

Getting there

The Orangery sits just off the A34 with parking on site. If you are travelling in for the night, these are the closest options.

Parking

Attended parking on site from five. Overflow in the walled garden car park.

Birmingham Moor Street, then a twenty minute taxi to Solihull.

Staying over

We hold rooms at two hotels in Solihull. Ask us and we will send the code.

Arriving late

Come in quietly through the side door. Someone will seat you.

A few things worth knowing

What to wear

Formal, and we would love to see colour. Modest dress please, and there is a prayer room off the main hall.

Children

Very welcome. There is a quiet room off the main hall if little ones need a moment away from the noise.

Food

Everything served is halal. Tell us about allergies on the form below and the kitchen will take care of it.

Gifts

Your presence is the whole of it. If you would still like to give something, a contribution to our first home means a great deal.

Kindly reply

Will you be there?

Please let us know by 1st May 2027 so we can set the tables.

We will send the address and timings closer to the day.

One reply per invitation. Change your mind? Send it again and the later one counts.

جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا

Thank you

Your reply is with us. We will be in touch as the day gets closer.
