We booked a harpist to play during the pre-drinks reception. In the evening, we had a live band followed by a DJ. After the band finished and before the DJ began, it was one of the bridesmaids, Emma’s birthday so we asked the piper to escort her to the middle of the dancefloor where he played ‘Happy Birthday’ especially for her. The toastmaster, Peter Tautz was on hand to ensure the day ran smoothly. He was brilliant - organised and funny while being very accommodating. “We hired a piper, George Carny who was a friend of mine to greet us in our wedding car as we drove down the main driveway of Nutfield Priory to the front of the building where our guests were gathered. He also performed as we walked into the suite for the wedding breakfast” Andrew. 44
