Timeless, breathtakingly beautiful images from Suman and Scott’s day are stopping me in my tracks as I scroll today. This stunning couple married at Coombe Abbey and chose English Wedding member Damien Vickers – a luxury wedding photographer in Cambridge – to capture their day. More than anything else, it’s the love in their eyes as they glance at each other that makes Suman and Scott’s wedding so magical. Their words for favourite Coombe Abbey wedding suppliers – including their brilliant photographer of course – are heartfelt. An enchanting wedding – and we’ll share even more on our instagram today @englishweddingblog
Our wedding photography
Damien Vickers captured our Coombe Abbey wedding.
Damien was absolutely fantastic. As a couple that isn’t at home in front of the camera, Damien really put us at ease during our engagement photoshoot and on the day of the wedding. We loved his style of photography and his approach. Damien was great to work with and the photos were beautiful!
Our wedding venue
Coombe Abbey. The Coombe Abbey grounds were beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop to our champagne reception. The marquee very comfortably housed our mid-sized party providing a great space to celebrate our special day with our loved ones.
Our wedding outfits
Suman was wearing a bespoke maroon lengha by Monga’s with champagne gold, pink and sage embroidery complemented by a pink and gold necklace set and traditional red bangles (called a choodha). Scott was wearing a bespoke tailored 3-piece suit by Edit Suits complete with a set of turtle cufflinks as a nod to our home in the Cayman Islands.
Our amazing suppliers
Our fresh flowers and decor were provided by Stylish Weddings who did a phenomenal job with the venue. Fiona and the team were brilliant from start to finish and really understood and brought to our life our vision.
Emma Bradley Designs provided our stationery. No request was too much trouble and Emma’s turnaround time was much faster than we’d expected. The stationery was beautiful with Emma effortlessly tying it all together by incorporating designs and motifs specifically created for our special day.
Cherry blossom and glorious gardens for this stunning Middleton Lodge wedding – an absolute beauty. Leigh and George used artificial flowers for colourful tables, bridesmaids wore vibrant pink – this entire day sings of celebration, and it’s utterly fabulous.
“I love spring and knew there would be lots of flowers in the garden and I really wanted a bright bold colour theme, hence the bright bouquets and bright pink dresses! I wanted to show our personalities in colour and make a really fun bright atmosphere.” ~ Leigh

North East and Yorkshire wedding photographer Joss Denham
Wedding photographer review
We picked Joss because he already had a really lovely profile of the kind of pictures we were hoping to get. We had a couple of calls with him before the wedding which helped to ease any nervousness around photos being taken and get to know him a bit better. This was great as it felt like we were being visited by a friend which made the whole atmosphere so much more relaxed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married. He really respected the time we had at the ceremony to see our guests and took us out for brief moments to get some amazing shots.
I was quite worried about the photography because I am super awkward whenever someone tries to take my picture and it always shows the camera. I just wanted some lovely natural pictures and to feel comfortable while they were being taken. Joss was great for reassurance and a bit of direction when needed. He also used the scenery so well so we have so much variation in the pictures and they look truly stunning! I love the ones of us dancing on the road and looking at each other with the sun setting in the background.
Venue name + review
Middleton Lodge – because of the gorgeous scenery and to be back in Yorkshire where I’m from. It’s a gorgeous venue and perfect for a summer wedding as the gardens are such a lovely place to hold the reception. I loved the Fig House because it’s such a stunning room and doesn’t require much decoration which is useful for me as I’m really not a details person!
We were desperate to make use of the beautiful gardens at Middleton Lodge and get married outside! We actually were already married at this point having been picked to get married at Marylebone Town Hall as part of their 100 weddings in one day celebration, although we didn’t know that we’d already be married when we first booked Middleton!
Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!
I wore a Grace Loves Lace Coco gown. I knew I’d wear this from the minute I saw it on their instagram and managed to get the last one in the UK as the company announced they were discontinuing it shortly after we got engaged-it was the first thing I bouche about 2 weeks after we got engaged-I had to move fast! I knew I wanted a really different dress that would stand out and I felt this was perfect. I didn’t try any other dressed from anywhere else because as soon as I put this one on I knew I wouldn’t find anything I loved more. I can be really indecisive and this is the first time I’ve managed to make a decision to quickly! George wore a Paul Smith suit and treated himself to a Gucci tie a week before the wedding.
Florist name + review
I really have no interest in flowers. I think they’re a waste of money because they die! So I didn’t bother with real ones and went shopping for artificial flowers with my mum who is very good at making things and she turned them into bouquets.
Cake maker name + review
George’s mum sourced the cake from a baker in Burnley where he’s from. I told her to see if she could get us a vintage one with lots of icing and in a bright colour and she did the rest! The top layer was lemon, middle Victoria sponge and the bottom was strawberry and champagne. We didn’t manage to eat any on the day though!
I’m utterly smitten with this beautiful Cornish wedding, and with all of the gorgeous personal touches Lauren & Ollie incorporated into their day. The venue is Trevenna Barns, and the beautiful images are by super talented Hannah Timm Photography, who’s based in Cornwall and captures weddings across the South West. The flowers are insane – seeing them was one of Lauren’s favourite parts of the day! – they’re by The Garden Gate Flower Company. As always, you’ll find more from this amazing wedding on our instagram @englishweddingblog.

Cornwall wedding photographer Hannah Timm https://www.hannahtimmphotography.co.uk/
Wedding photographer review
Hannah was the perfect photographer for our wedding in Cornwall in May. She was super friendly and responsive from the outset and made a real effort to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted from our day. On the day, she fit right in with our wedding guests and made us all feel really relaxed. Her natural photography style was exactly what we wanted and she did not disappoint! We absolutely loved our photos and would recommend her to anyone who asks!
Your best wedding moment or memory
Getting to the head of the aisle – seeing Ollie standing there and being surrounded by everyone who we love so much! I don’t think anything will ever beat it.
Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)
Certainly not completely original (I stole the idea from a post on a wedding blog!) but we had giant Colin and Connie the Caterpillars as cakes, with lots of the mini ones surrounding them. It’s always been my favourite cake and went down a treat! My brother in law made a great wooden stand and my mum made a tiny veil and hat for the chocolate bride and groom!
Videographer name + review
Miles Trevelyan-Johnson (Trevelyan Films).
Miles captured our wedding day absolutely perfectly from start to finish. From the outset he was really friendly and spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our wedding video, as well as making some fun suggestions of shots to try. On the day he was relaxed and professional and fit in with everyone perfectly. He got some amazing footage (including the drone shots!) and we were blown away by the quality of our videos. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer – you are in safe hands here!
Venue name + review
Trevenna Barns, St Neot
The most amazing place. Set in the heart of the moor where I grew up, completely surrounding by green space! The converted barns are so beautiful and cosy and allowed us to have all of our closets friends and family with us for the whole weekend. The food was incredible (guests are still talking about it!) and there are so many options in terms of ceremony venue which allowed us to make things are own. The team are so friendly, so experienced and knowledgeable and really couldn’t have done anymore to help us have the perfect day.

Rebecca Stuart (Garden Gate Flower Company) Rebecca is such a wonderful lady! She grows all of the flowers herself near her home in Lostwithiel and they are so beautiful. We were guided by her in terms of colours and arrangements and had every confidence in her – the venue looked so amazing on the day. Seeing the bouquets and venue flowers was one of my favourite parts of the day!

Invites by Love Frankie Stationery (Francesca Reed) – Frankie made us a custom hand drawn painted design which incorporated various elements of our theme. They invites were so beautiful!

Emilie’s Hair and Make-up
Emilie did hair and make up for our wedding. I can’t recommend her enough, she did an amazing job for myself and the bridesmaids and managed to deliver exactly what we all had in mind! She is super relaxed and friendly and I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone for their wedding!
An artistic and beautiful bride and her handsome husband, surrounded by colour and joy! This wedding is beyond beautiful, filled with vibrant creative styling touches and personal details. Images are by our fave, Cambridge and South Farm wedding photographer Damien Vickers, who gets a glowing review from the happy couple. Lots of heartwarming supplier reviews from our star couple below, so grab a brew and have a slow scroll! I’ll share more on instagram @englishweddingblog later today!

Cambridge wedding photographer Damien Vickers – https://www.damienvickersphotography.co.uk/
Wedding photographer review
Damien was just so easy to work with. We are terrible at taking photos and tend to look incredibly awkward in any that do exist! We had a pre-wedding shoot, which despite my nerves as we tread the cobbled Cambridge streets in the ‘golden hour’, was a great experience.
It meant that on the day, we’d already built a rapport with Damien and it was one less thing to worry about. I don’t know how he managed to be everywhere on the day!
One of the best things about getting our photos back was seeing all the moments we’d missed, being the centre of attention. He had captured so many wonderful candid shots of our friends and loved ones. He was both easy-going and relaxed with us, but also assertive and clear when getting the group shots. His experience shone through as we asked many questions in the run up to the day – all of which he answered with care and provided options or recommendations.
Your best wedding moment or memory
For me, it was the moment that my Dad and I could see our guests as he walked me down the aisle. Everyone was gathered in the beautiful garden at South Farm. I had been the most nervous all day once the music started and my bridesmaids left us waiting in the hallway of the farmhouse. Just the two of us for a few minutes. Then all of a sudden, we were bathed in love from our friends and family. Everyone was beaming and looked so fancy! I made a point to make as much eye contact as I could (whilst also trying to walk slowly). It was really a privilege to have so many people there to celebrate us. Then, there Jake was, smiling at the end of the aisle and we both had tears in our eyes when we said ‘hello!’.
Jake chose the first dance as his favourite moment. He said that the high pressure events of the day were all over, from ceremony to speeches, and he could now relax and have fun! I was not so relaxed in those final moments waiting for the first chords to kick in – as I’m not a natural dancer. We’d worked hard over a couple of months to learn a routine to ‘Come and Get Your Love’ by Redbone, which was played live by The Dominos. Jake used to be in a band and has an extroverted side, so our upbeat first dance suited his inner performer!
Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)
There was just so much about the wedding that fell into place. We were incredibly lucky to secure a Saturday in August at South Farm, just 7 months before our wedding. This happened to also be the date of our 11th anniversary together – this definitely felt serendipitous. We had no idea how popular South Farm was as naïve wedding planners ourselves!
Our Band, The Dominos, perform at weddings and events internationally and were available on our date! Two of the members of the band, Stu and Alex, had a band with Jake when they were teenagers, so really, we would not have wanted anyone else to perform for us.
We had our dogs, Bear & Arlo, with us on the day. They had many admirers and endless offers for walkies! For us, they’re part of the family so having them with us meant a lot.
In the run up to the wedding of course there’s lots of wed-min which can be stressful, but one of the best things we have ever done is learning our first dance together. We bought an online package which had video tutorials and spent about two months practicing most evenings in our dining room. Although we’re not dancers, we wanted to do more than an awkward shuffle for our first dance! We both loved the song ‘Come and Get Your Love’ by Redbone and wanted an upbeat opener to the evening celebrations. The tempo meant it was both fun and silly to learn, as we’d trip over each other, miss beats and fall around laughing. In all the stresses of day-to-day life our dance practice was a time apart, where we’d simply look in each others’ eyes and give it a go. I smiled so much in all of our practices.
Venue name + review
South Farm What can I say – South Farm are fabulous. Everything from the venue itself, the food and the smooth running of the day – they have it all down to a tee.
We had nothing to worry about on the day, South Farm managed everything. It meant we could be fully present and enjoy the time with our guests.
The spaces are all tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and the gardens have a range of meticulously tended and wild areas. People can meet in larger or smaller groups both inside and outside, so everyone can be comfortable throughout the day. Having the whole site for your wedding feels special and exclusive.
The team at South Farm are impeccable. Any concern or query was responded to promptly. They provide really clear timelines and communications on decisions, payments and finalisations. The staff are warm and friendly, nothing phases them and any issue is dealt with smoothly and with ease.
The food is divine. We did a tasting evening and were stuffed! The menu is extensive and there are lots of options for those with dietary needs. I’m gluten free (allergy) and nothing was a bother, I felt really safe eating there throughout the day.
Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!
My dress was from Heritage Brides in Hatfield – It is Lee Lee by ByWatters and Sam, who runs the shop, could not have been a safer pair of hands.
I’d been to one bridal shop before this and so I’d tried on a lot of silhouettes, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I’m not the type of person who has held a wedding for a long time. She listened and asked careful questions to pull out dresses for me to try. As I’d critique a dress, she’d adapt and pull the next choice.
I did have that ‘wow’ moment where I cried when I saw ‘the’ dress – which I did not expect! So there was no going back then. I didn’t expect to go for a gown or for the oatmeal colour in my dress, but when I tried it on, it sang and really complimented my (pale Irish!) skin colour.
I also had a flower crown handmade by Suzy, our Florist. My necklace was from Jersey Pearl. It was a present to me from Jake on the day – Jersey was where we’d spent a really lovely holiday a few years earlier! My earrings were handmade ceramic by Vivi Embellish (Elara Drops) from MarriMe in Newcastle. My bracelet was by Martina Hamilton, an Irish Jeweller, which was a present on the day from my parents. All of the accessories I have worn since and they bring a smile as I think back to our wedding day!
Jake’s suit was from Edit Suits in London – He had tried many high-street shops and rental options, but couldn’t find quite the right fit or colour so he opted to have his suit made. He said they offered a personalised service at a reasonable price, with numerous customisable options and provided quick turn-around from measure to final fit. His shoes are from Loake & the tie and pocket-square are a Liberty of London print bought from Etsy.
Florist name + review
Suzy Randell – Suzy was warm, knowledgeable and we worked well together to develop the vision for the flowers.
She was open to incorporating my creative elements into her floral displays. Using mood boards, visiting her in her studio and trying out a pre-wedding flower crown all really helped to bring the bold and bright florals to life. We took all the flowers home and had them up for weeks! She was very sensitive to any particular flowers we might want, for example, dahlia’s were Jake’s Nan’s favourite flower and she couldn’t be with us on the day. We had lots of dahlia’s! Across the different floral aspects – from meadow flowers, garland, bouquet to table arrangements, Suzy brought variation but matched this within the overall theme through her styling and flower choice.
Cake maker name + review
Our cake was made by a neighbour of ours, Chris. She made a gluten free Victoria sponge with raspberry conserve. She worked tirelessly making the individuals wildflowers which were modelled on those from Jake’s tie & pocket-square. She added fresh rosemary and a surprise of shamrocks, nodding to my Irish heritage. She is a warm and incredibly generous person and we loved the cake. It tasted wonderful too!
The topper is handmade in Vietnam (Chabinu Pegdolls on Etsy). Mika asked for details of our wedding outfits and also photos of us (and the dogs!). She sent proofs before she painted the figures and even clarified details for the dogs! I love them!
Stationery maker’s name + review
Grace Taylor @ Wildwood Paper – We opted for the Wild Meadow design for all of our on the day stationery. It matched the bold and bright colour theme, as well as featuring some of the same flowers in fabric and on the cake.
Grace was so easy to deal with, clear in her communication and managed expectations around delivery/timelines well. She gave a range of options based on her vast expertise. The quality of the prints was great and many guests took little mementos of the menu or their place-names!
Any crafty projects or homemade styling touches?
Lots! I’m a maker and an art therapist by profession so once our wedding became a reality I had lots of ideas!
A bold and bright theme of colours overall. Given the height of Summer and our plan to get married in the gardens, I knew the flowers would be exploding in rich colours. There were nine different core colours.
We made 300 woollen pom-poms – transforming these into parts of the table decorations, bunting and chair tassels, as well as decorations along the aisle. The idea for pom-poms came from my work with people with a learning disability. I was doing some research into group art therapy, one group I went to had me making pom-poms and it was filled with such joy that I wanted to take this into our wedding.
We also made 100 origami birds. A few years ago, I’d made a mobile of origami birds that was focussed on grief in my life. For our wedding, I wanted to re-work the theme of the paper birds, with joy as the focus and so the 100 colourful origami birds were born. My bridesmaids and parents were the key helpers in making and assembling this vision!
Alongside what we’d made, Charlie (The Stables Prop Hire) hung paper lanterns in the barns and trees outside. Suzy (our florist) had carte blanche to go wild with colour, though we did agree that as many locally grown flowers would be included as possible.
My shoes were wedges from Hobbs and I sewed leather flowers onto them, which echoed the large applique flowers on my dress.
My mum knitted me a fabulous mohair cardigan to a 1980s pattern I found. Though on the day it was too warm to wear my cardi – I have it now as a wonderful token from our day and love wrapping up in it.
Wedding readings?
‘Everything I know About Love’ by Neil Gaiman
My dear friend Edward (O’Grady-Walshe) read this for us at our ceremony. I’ve known Edward since 2007, we met working together in an architectural practice. He’s the kind of person you could not see for a year and then stay up all night talking to catch up. He is wildly talented as an artist, on stage and behind the scenes. Creativity is part of his DNA. I knew he’d be perfect to make the reading memorable for guests and I really wanted him to have a role in our day. What I didn’t expect was that all three of us would choke up as he read the poem. The sense of love and gratitude at being together, celebrating love and friendship, was palpable. And the audience loved it!
First dance song? Playlist recommendations?
‘Come and Get Your Love’ by Redbone
Jake was the master behind our playlist. We’d asked guests when they RSVP-ed for any requested songs and included these. We tried to have a range of musical styles across the day and into the evening so that everyone, if they wanted to, could get up and dance at some stage. We also worked with The Dominos to make sure that their set list was unique and our playlist didn’t repeat anything.
Other recommended wedding suppliers
Our band The Dominos have such a range of music and possible sets. They’re friendly and have just the right energy to match the vibe of the day. For us, they played during our drinks reception in the garden and then into the evening. They even checked outfit colours to ensure they wouldn’t clash with the wedding party!! Absolute professionals!
Coloured Paper Lanterns by Charlie Waters @ The Stables Prop Hire – https://www.thestablesprophire.co.uk/ She could not have done more for us – she was so helpful and so warm in all her communication.
Wedding bands were both from Galio Jewellers in St Albans – https://www.galio.co.uk/ Jake’s was custom made in Germany, mine was an accidental find which I was very pleased with as it fitted perfectly with my engagement ring, which Jake had chosen without any hints or suggestions.
Shellac Manicure (my first ever!) by Skin & Tonic in St Albans.
Mother of the Bride dress from Sinead’s Boutique, Ireland – https://sineadsboutique.com/ My mum felt really taken care of in Sinead’s. She was nervous about finding the right outfit as she’s more used to getting out and about in the countryside than wearing elegant dresses! So she needed a shop where they would work closely with her to make sure she was comfortable, but also that little bit special.
Bridesmaids dresses from Model Chic, Australia – https://www.modelchic.com.au/ Their communication was great and deliver estimates were spot on, also very reasonably priced. I wanted my bridesmaids to be able to choose a sleeve/strap style that they felt comfortable in, so the infinity dresses were perfect as there’s so many ways they can be worn.
Groomsmen & Father of Bride suits rented from Status Formal Hire in Harpenden. Efficient and professional service.
Wedding planner name + review
N/A – Though I must give a nod to South Farm here. Their team was incredible from our very first viewing, right through to having Evie as our wedding co-ordinator on the day. They know every aspect of weddings inside-out and so it felt like we had a team of wedding planners keeping us on track!
Hair + makeup name + review
Elouise Wallis @ Elouise Hair Stylist on Instagram as @elouise_hairstylist Elouise is my regular hairdresser, whom I’ve known since 2017 and followed her from salon to salon! I just knew it had to be her handling my hair and nerves on the day! She wouldn’t have let me go with a style that didn’t suit my face or hair type. A great piece of advice she gave at the trial was to try everything, every wild style idea I’d ever had and then see what felt most like ‘me’. She was a gem to have around on the day!
Katie Bullot @ GLOW by KT – Whom I chose for her natural looking dewey finish – I wear hardly any make up, so I wanted to feel like ‘me’ on the day, with a touch more glam! My bridesmaids and Mum also rarely wear make up, so I knew they’d be comfortable too. Katie is both professional and organised, with a keen attention to detail.
A super sophisticated Manor House wedding with bridesmaids in black and the most incredible chandeliers! This beauty of a day was sent in by Yorkshire wedding photographer Joss Denham. Groom and bride Adam and Jessica call him a wizard – “He is a master at what he does and as a result, the outcome is unbelievable.”
I’m blown away by how beautiful Jessica and Adam’s wedding is. The flowers are stunning; the couple’s outfits are gorgeous and they both look amazing. Jessica wears a Halfpenny wedding dress from The White Closet. And the candles lining the wedding tables in Manor House Lindley‘s Coach House create the most enchanting atmosphere!
“We wanted the day to be elegant, classic and chic. We had a black tie theme for the whole bridal party so the men all wore bow ties and the bridesmaids wore black. Our flowers were white roses. In the wedding breakfast, we kept the flowers to a minimum and instead went for large collections of candles on the tables. This helped us to create the intimate, romantic and chic feel we wanted for the day. This looked even better on all the photos!”

Wedding photographer review
The images are incredible. There is no other word for it. We had preview images within 3 days of getting married (some of these were bank holidays!!). These helped us to live in the moment that little bit longer. The images themselves are perfect. Joss has managed to capture all the key moments of our day – we have stories we talk about when we see particular images and this is exactly what we wanted. The photos tell the story of our day. They are natural and candid in the best way. They have managed to capture all of the love and joy we felt on the day and we couldn’t be more grateful. We love them and so do all our families. My mum has watched them countless times!
Joss is a wizard. He is a master at what he does and as a result, the outcome is unbelievable. Having watched him work at Jess’ sister’s wedding, we knew he was the photographer for us. Joss was relaxed, funny and managed to seamlessly blend into our families. The biggest compliment we can give him is that so often we didn’t realise he was there whilst shooting photos, but felt part of the family in between! We’d both been to weddings where the bride and groom disappear for a long photoshoot in the middle of the day or people’s views of key moments are obscured by photographers and we knew this was not what we wanted. We wanted to spend our day with the people we loved. With the people we had invited to spend the day with us. Joss ensured we could do this whilst also capturing the ‘Vogue’ style shots that everyone wants. He is amazing. We are now desperately trying to convince our parents to have a vow renewal so we can have him back – he really feels like part of the family!
Venue name + review
We got married at Manor House Lindley. It was completely perfect and we would recommend it to absolutely everyone. The venue felt intimate and chic which was everything we wanted for our wedding. The fact that the hotel only has a small number of rooms meant that our favourite people could stay with us and debrief the entire day over breakfast. All the staff at the venue were incredible from start to finish – nothing was too much trouble, they ensured the day ran seamlessly and felt like part of our wedding party celebrating with us.
The venue made their own macaroons which we’d had when we stayed before the wedding. They are amazing so we ensured they were a part of the day! We had arancini balls and lamb skewers for our other canapes. For the main meal, we had apple sorbet to start followed by pork belly (so so good!) For the main, we had a chicken dish which was one of the best things we’d ever eaten! For dessert (the best part), we had the Lindley lemon tart. All the food was absolutely amazing – we had so many compliments about the food throughout the day! For evening food, we wanted to go for a fast food theme so we had truffle dogs, mini burgers and cheesy churros.
Dress or suit shop name + review
I visited ‘The White Closet’ to try to find my perfect dress.
I chose a two piece from Halfpenny London which just felt like me but more me. I’m not a super girly girly and it’s hard to explain but the dress made me feel extremely comfortable and special all at the same time. It was the only dress I tried on which made me cry (and most of my family!). It was the dress I could see myself getting married in and I just knew it was the one. It was the dress I left excited to try on again.
Florist name + review
The florist came recommended by our wedding venue and as soon as we saw photos of their work, we knew they’d be perfect for us. We chose white roses and gypsophila for our flowers. We wanted them to be entirely white so they would look elegant and chic. We couldn’t have been happier with the flowers on the day – they looked simply incredible. Everyone commented on how incredible they looked in the venue.
Cake maker name + review
We love cake! This was a hugely important detail for us! We wanted the decoration of the cake to fit with the theme so it was entirely white with a black bow and our initials written on the lower tier. On the bottom tier, we had bramble and orange. The middle tier was red velvet (which looked incredible with the white icing) and the top tier was sticky toffee pudding. Everyone at Where The Ribbon Ends was so brilliant with the design of the cake and it was so delicious!
Any crafty projects or special styling touches?
We used wedding newspapers to give people key information including the seating plan and who was in the wedding party. We loved these and they gave the guests a little momento from the day! Jess also had her mum and dad walk her down the aisle giving them both the credit they deserve!
Beautiful wedding music
During the day, we had Rhian Evans on the harp. She is so incredibly talented and was the perfect accompaniment for our ceremony and drinks reception. She was able to play a selection of classical and more modern songs. Having live music during the ceremony and drinks reception was so special. The DJ was absolutely brilliant and really kept everyone on the dancefloor for the whole evening. We had guests bargaining with him at the end to play just one more song!
