They love their job and were a real crowd-pleaser! They were so genuine and friendly; we’d recommend them for anyone who wants a rock-vibe for their evening. As a surprise after the confetti photos, we were greeted by two alpacas which were a hit with the guests. They got to feed them and take selfies during the reception. For the ceremony, we had a very talented pianist who plays the baby grand piano and he entertained guests with the Game of Thrones theme tune! I walked down the aisle to Newton Faulkner Dream Catch Me , which seemed a very fitting choice. The moment you’re about to walk down the aisle is indescribable, to have the eyes of all your nearest and dearest on you together in one room is surreal, I couldn’t make eye contact with anyone! I could tell Matt was emotional when I came down the aisle as he couldn’t look back at me and once I reached him, I saw he’d been crying. I gave him a massive hug which I think helped calm us both. Both our photographer and videographer had the patience of saints on the day, they were both fantastic and have captured memories we’ll remember for a lifetime. As everyone says, take some time for the two of you to take a breather together and take in some of the day, it does go that fast! 42
