Describe the best wedding that happened at The Castle Westenhanger?
In April 2024, Tyler & Daniel’s wedding was a true show-stopper. They entertained their guests with a pre-recorded comedy film of themselves, played during the ceremony. The film humorously poked fun at each other’s personalities, leaving everyone in fits of laughter. Tyler, who has worked with famous artists around the world, including Britney Spears, ensured their wedding had a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. A massive concert screen was set up in the garden, flanked by fire fountains, creating a dramatic path for the couple to walk down. Their first dance took place on the lawn, with live footage of the moment shown on the screen. As a grand finale, they hired a Fire Dancing company, with performers in stunning outfits, adding an electrifying spectacle to their celebration.
