Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
We’ve done so many it’s hard to choose, but the one in Yorkshire's beautiful Esk Valley where everything had to be taken to and from the venue by boat is pretty hard to forget!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Indierockpopnsoul!
What about your business are you most proud of?
We’re really proud of our customer service. We often get couples telling us how much of a difference it has made to their day, and how easy we made the whole process.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Talk to your suppliers and use their expertise and experience to make your day unforgettable.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
First dance sweepstake! Our couple had a big list of potential first dance songs for guests to bet on. They kept it a surprise right up until we started playing!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
One thing we've learned is every couple is different, so we try to answer their questions and work with them to create the best night we can. Some things we work on with every couple include the first dance, set times and lengths and liaising with their venue ahead of the event.
What makes a romantic first dance?
It really differs from one wedding to the next - and it has a lot to do with the couple’s history. But we do have a soft spot for a big singalong! Not very romantic but it always feels like a massive celebration!
What is your number one floor-filler?
Mr Brightside!
Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?
It's pretty obvious, but it would have to be the Beatles!
What is the soundtrack to your life?
It depends who’s doing the driving that day!
