We had a wood-fired pizza oven later in the evening – it created a festival-feel and our guests loved it! Our brass band was incredible as we arrived at the reception. We also had a pianist for background music and friends performed our first dance song. The DJ created a set around our choice of songs and a saxophonist joined in for 90 minutes on the dancefloor – it felt like we were in a high-end club. We booked a magician in order to bridge the lull between the food finishing and the evening guests arriving. He was amazing and guests were literally lost for words at his tricks. The only way we can describe the day is that it was our idea of the best party ever! To be married by the end of it was the icing on the cake. 60
