We went through Music HQ and found a group called Trilogy. They were brilliant and kept the dancefloor full all night. We also hired a solo artist called James Kennedy. We heard him singing at a pub the week before our wedding, and loved his voice. I asked him what he was doing next Saturday, and amazingly he managed to fit us in! One of our favourite memories was driving into the venue’s grounds and taking photographs. We hired a photo booth from Snap a Pose. Our friends and family loved it, and it got everyone talking. For our honeymoon, we went to Ibiza for a week. We ended up watching Calvin Harris and Martin Garrix at their closing parties. Later in the year, thanks to the generosity of our wonderful friends and family, we booked a 10-night honeymoon to the Maldives. 60
