For the evening party, we had an 11-piece live band perform who were brilliant – our guests said they felt they were at a live concert rather than a wedding and one year on from our special day, our loved ones are still talking about how good the band were! The two male and one female vocalist were up on the tables at one point performing, and at other times out on the floor among the crowd, and the dancefloor was packed all night. We couldn’t have imagined more fun if we tried! After the live band, we had a DJ.” Rich and Tim also had a photo booth equipped with costumes and props set up in a retro caravan in the castle’s courtyard. Their guests were able to leave copies of their Polaroid snaps in the guestbook along with a message for the newlyweds. “Everybody said they loved the photo booth because it allowed them to take home a keepsake from the day,” the couple says. “We also had a reproduction classic American food truck in the courtyard serving Mexican food throughout the evening disco, provided by our wedding caterers Napier Catering.” 24
