They covered the DJing too and definitely made the wedding! We went to Sri Lanka for two weeks, planned by Trailfinders in Canterbury. We absolutely loved it, leaving on The Monday after our Saturday wedding, meant we still had the wedding buzz! Top tip: If you’re going on honeymoon immediately after the wedding, make sure you pack before the big day! The wedding breakfast catering, by Chapel House Estate, was incredible and one of the reasons we chose the venue! Evening pizza was provided by Barney and The Pizza − which was also incredible! I felt very relaxed on the morning of the wedding... not too many nerves! It helped that we had access to the venue to set up some parts the day before. We really enjoyed the build up, in the bridal beauty lodge, it helped that we had the loveliest hair and make-up ladies, it was such a nice atmosphere. We loved that after the ceremony, we had our reception drinks in the walled courtyard of the venue. It was lovely to enjoy a moment just chatting afterwards with our loved ones. Sam and his groomsmen decided to wear traditional bow ties, only to realise on the morning of the wedding that none of them knew how to tie one. Fortunately, our fantastic photographer/videographer This Modern Revelry were pros in this field and saved the day! The entrance into the wedding breakfast was a really exciting moment that Sam and I enjoyed immensely. What made our day extra special, was all of our loved ones. We are so lucky to have such amazing friends and family and our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was without them! 48
