Lauren and Pieter have been a dream to work with right from the very start. Since booking in September 2023 we have worked closely with the couple to help them plan their special day.
Lauren admitted to us very early on that she can be very unorganised however we didn't think this at all! The couple did a lot of DIY projects for the day such as their own flowers which can be very challenging however they absolutely pulled it off. Our wedding coordinators hold regular planning meetings leading up to the day to make sure our couples have got everything sorted and to lend a helping hand if needed.
Caroline from The Ceremony People was the Celebrant on the day and it is always great to have her on site. A celebrant is a great way to have a relaxed day with no pressure of getting legally married on the day. Majority of couples will choose to get legally married a few days before or after the wedding day. Lauren & Pieter had written some beautiful words to each other which they read out during the ceremony. It’s always a lovely touch to personalise your ceremony as much as possible as it’s a moment our couples will remember forever.
After the ceremony all guests made their way to the rear lawn for some beautiful canapes prepared by B and R dining. Guests enjoyed drinks on the lawn supplied by the bride and groom and the catering team made sure they were always topped up! After a few hours outside in the sunshine it was time for all guests to take their seats in the beautifully decorated Woodshed. Before good food and good wine was enjoyed it was time for the speeches to take place. Speeches can take place at any point during the day but before or after dining works best as a toast drink can be poured to the tables and all guests can relax and listen to all the funny stories!
Lauren and Pieter chose to have the Fairgreen Ceilidh Band provide their evening entertainment. This was a great way to get everyone involved and dance together throughout the evening. A lot of water was handed out as guests had a little bit of a sweat on at the end! The Bucket List provided evening food for all of their guests and these went down extremely well as guests needed to keep up their energy for dancing!
It was such fun getting to know you both!! xx
