Ceremony and Drinks
Arriving with plenty of time to spare we had time to walk into Chester to find ourselves some lunch before getting ready for today’s wedding. With parking conveniently on site it didnt take us very long to get everything set up to be ready for the ceremony which was our first involvement with Louise and Wesley’s wedding.

We always love a blend of songs and this was a classic choice for Louise’s bridal entrance along with her bridesmaids. Two popular but very meaningful songs which created a perfect moment for this lovely bride.
The Drinks Reception
After the ceremony we swiftly relocated outside for the drinks reception which was taking place on a terrace at the side of the hotel. This was a lovely space and we continued to entertain the guests as they were served drinks and canapés.
We created a unique setlist for Louise and Wesley keeping everything upbeat to create the right sort of vibe for the occasion. At the couple’s request, we also included Mr Brightside, Angels by Robbie Wiliams, a number of songs from Bridgerton and Perfect by Ed Sheeran.
We really enjoyed being a part of this lovely wedding and we wish Louise and Wesley every happiness as they embark on their future together as a married couple.
