Your Kent Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 114)

some live music for the guests and something while everyone was waiting to be seated. In the evening, we had one of The Orangery’s resident DJs, who played a range of music, some of which was requested by our guests.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS “I was very nervous on the day,” reveals Samantha. “The weather was not on our side and it had been my dream to get married outside. This unfortunately couldn’t happen, but it didn’t spoil it at all. The inside was stunning, which is another reason we chose the venue. I was very nervous but also extremely excited to marry Craig. Walking down the aisle with my brother was amazing and once I got to the end and saw Craig, everyone else around me disappeared and I was just so happy and so overwhelmed that I was marrying my love. “The speeches were amazing, the food was great, and having some time alone to be man and wife was lovely,” adds the bride. “During the best man’s speech, everyone roared with laughter through the entire thing. I was overwhelmed by the whole day. The fireworks from AJ Pyrotechnics were superb and all fired to our chosen music, accompanied by a light show with the beautiful lake in the foreground. It was the best, most magical, and most memorable day of our lives and we will never forget any of it.” The couple’s supplies made their big day perfect. “Every supplier we chose went above and beyond,” remembers Samantha. “Our photographer, David King, organised our guests and captured our special moments with our friends and family. His charismatic and bubbly personality kept our nearest and dearest on their toes and all of our guests complimented on how well he captured group and action photos. Our photos are absolutely stunning and David did such a fantastic job. Every guest from the day and the evening was included in the photos. Accompanying and recommended by David was our videographer, Lilypad Productions, who filmed and edited our special day into an hour-long video using the music from the day.” HONEYMOON “Our honeymoon was fantastic,” says Samantha. “We went to three different places. We started in Dubai for a few days and then travelled to Thailand, where we visited two islands. Craig planned the majority of the trip, as he is far better with his geography than I am. They were amazing places to visit and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.” www.lilypadproductions.co.uk Scan to view video 43 REAL WEDDINGS
