How we both met

We matched on Tinder and had our first date at an arcade. Nic must have known it would lead to something special, as she kept all the winning tickets from that night!

The Wedding Venue

We got married at Wylam Brewery in Newcastle.

It was actually the only venue we made an appointment to visit, but we both knew straight away it was the one as felt perfect for us.

Why we chose to have a celebrant wedding ceremony

We loved the idea of having a ceremony that felt more personal, where someone could really tell our story.

When we met Jo at an open event, she really got what we were looking for, and we felt so comfortable with her.

Ideas about what our ceremony could have looked like

We knew we wanted something a bit different, we wanted personal and meaningful, but not overly formal.

When we met with Jo to go over the details, it all just clicked.  Nic, was tearing up every five minutes as Jo read our ceremony to us as it was exactly what we wanted.

The best part of the ceremony for us

The best part was definitely the love letters. We chose to write letters to each other and read them aloud during the ceremony. It was such a personal and emotional moment, just the two of us sharing our feelings in front of everyone. It made the ceremony feel even more intimate and meaningful. The love was so evident, and everything was raw and heartfelt.

The whole day was full of little moments that were special to us and ones we’ll always look back on.

The day was gorgeous from start to finish.

 

What our guests said about our wedding ceremony/day

Our guests absolutely loved it!

Lots of people said they’d never been to a ceremony like it. It felt like everyone was truly part of the experience.

There was lots of tears!

 

Some of our fav wedding suppliers and why we chose them

  • Steven McDonald – Photographer: Have you seen his work? He’s AMAZING! The moment we met Steven, it felt like we’d known him for years.
  • Double Barrel – Videographers: Kyle and Sophie were fantastic to work with. They offered exactly what we were looking for, both cinematic and romantic. We can’t wait to watch the day back.
  • Anna McClen – Bridal Make-Up: Nic had Anna lined up for the wedding even before we were engaged! She was the first person Nic reached out to, to make sure she was available.
  • Aimie Foster – Bridal Hair: Aimee’s work is fab, and she’s a total gem to have around on the big day. She made getting ready so enjoyable and relaxed.
