During our reception we chose to have energetic six-piece band, Soul Beat, who performed a combination of contemporary, soul, pop, R&B and club classics. They were a huge hit and they had everyone on the dancefloor throughout their sets. “For our favours we wrote a poem together to let guests know that we had donated to St. Francis Hospice, a charity close to our hearts. It was framed alongside a photograph of my dad and a lit memorial candle,” – Kayleigh 46
