The best day of my life

Where to start! They do say a picture is worth a 1000 words...... This just about sums up how it was!

Photo courtesy of Neil Sampson who was our photographer, he was brilliant I've loved the photos I've seen so far can't wait to see the rest! http://www.neilsampson.com

I truly can't thank the staff at Sopwell House enough, the events manager Joe Carter is amazing and his team are trained to the highest standard. Mine and Nick's wedding day wouldn't have been anywhere near as perfect had it not been for the staff, we were treated like a King and Queen all day. The set up of the room was outstanding all the prep was well and truly worth it! I would also like to thank Mandy, who was there right until the end of the night. 


The flowers were organised by Sopwell House's preferred florists - they were brilliant and created the most beautiful arrangements within the colour scheme. They even managed to put in sweet peas, in memory of my Grandad.  http://weddingvenuedecorators.com/about/

The wedding breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed by all of our guests, in fact comments from many of them were that it's the best wedding food they had ever had! We chose ......

All of our stationery was provided within our package by Kelly at Big Day Designs - who got the green from my colour scheme perfectly matched! http://www.bigdaydesigns.co.uk/bespoke.php

The cake, neither of us are paticularly massive on cake, although I am partial to carrot cake and Nick to chocolate cake! I decided not to go for the traditional three tier cake, but to go for three separate cakes - fruit, carrot and chocolate - I wanted something a little different plus it went perfectly with my shabby chic theme. 

Debbie from Cake of Herts made the cake, compliments as all three tasted great and looked gorgeous - http://cakeofherts.co.uk

To keep the guests entertained, especially my niece and two nephews throughout the drinks reception and meal. We hired Mick Smith a magician from the inner magic circle, the guests loved him and are still trying to work out how he did some of the tricks! It definitely kept our guests busy while they were waiting for food! I even managed to watch a few, I have to say I find Mick fascinating I could watch him for hours. If your looking for entertainment then look no further - http://www.mikemagic.co.uk

For the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast we had a saxophonist Raymond Jaeggi who was superb. Both myself and Nick love the saxophone so it was the perfect choice for us and everyone loved the music he chose.

For the evening reception we hired The Lowriders from London - we opted for the 8 piece band although they have various options - www.thelowriders.co.uk
They played two one hour sets (they specialise in Motown, soul and funk) In between the sets they dj'd. I'm so glad we booked them for the wedding, the dance floor was full all evening. The feedback from our guests, not one person wanted them to go home, if the party could have stayed past midnight everyone would have carried on dancing away! One word to describe them - AMAZING, can we get married again just so we can hire them please!?  


We both had the best day and didn't want it to end. Thank you to everyone that came and all the people that helped to make it so special. 

In conclusion I highly recommend all of the suppliers we used and the venue couldn't have been more perfect thank you. X
