Their wedding was an elegant blend of tradition and style, beginning with a beautiful ceremony at All Saints Church in Wraxall.

The wedding breakfast took place in a stunning marquee on the front lawn of The Downs School by put up by our sister company CMC Marquees, providing the perfect space for the rest of the evenings activities. Inside, long tables were set with tall floral centrepieces, varying in levels of height to create a layered and vibrant display.
Guests enjoyed an exceptional meal, a bespoke menu designed and catered by Chef Tom Green. To compliment the dining, a surprise singing waiter performance by Encore Entertainment added an extra layer of fun, followed by speeches, before the guests hit the dance floor to the sounds of Silk Pennies. As the night continued, the marquee buzzed with energy, with the floral design by Flowers by Thea adding natural elegance, while the bespoke lighting from SLX illuminated the marquee and the school through the clear marquee walls, creating an enchanting atmosphere as day turned to night.
