Hands up – I have a confession to make. I’ve been to a couple of weddings where (and I feel awful for saying it) I got bored. The thing is, wedding days have gaps. There’s the lull in the afternoon between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast, and the bit in the evening when things are winding down and everyone’s a little tipsy and a little sleepy… so guess what? Your guests will need a bit of fun to keep them entertained in those times!

With so much choice when it comes to music, one question repeatedly burns in our minds – why do we keep hearing the same songs at weddings?
The pleasant hills and satanic mills of Yorkshire and the North East offer some of the most breathtaking scenery in the UK – so it’s no wonder enamoured couples flock here every year to exchange their vows!
The sprawling, magnificent Alnwick Castle and the whimsical Bamburgh Castle are stunning historical landmarks for couples to tie the knot, but let’s not forget the profusion of contemporary wedding venues either. The National Glass Centre and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art offer quirky settings for newlyweds, and there can be no better backdrop for your wedding album than the dramatic North York Moors, scenic Yorkshire Dales, and the vast and otherworldly Northumberland National Park.
