F & A’s wedding was the perfect blend of tradition and fun, set in the charming village of Horley, Oxfordshire on the edge of the Cotswolds. The couple exchanged vows at St Etheldreda’s Church, a stunning medieval Grade I listed building with its timeless stone arches—a beautiful, atmospheric backdrop for their ceremony. After sealing their vows, F & A walked out hand in hand with their little ones under a flurry of confetti, as family and friends cheered. The bride wore a Sophia Tolli wedding dress with embroidered details and a cathedral length veil, the understated elegance fitting of the historic church setting.
The celebration continued at Hadsham Farm, a gem near Banbury, perfect for couples seeking a relaxed, countryside wedding. The venue’s festival-style atmosphere, complete with bell tents and a striking all-weather tipi, offers a laid-back, yet memorable vibe. During the reception, we had Neb the magician, mentalist & mindreader wowing guests with his skills, and just before dessert there was a surprise appearance from the Surprise Singers trio of undercover singing waiters who performed a medley of musical numbers and the operatic finale Nessun Dorma which had several guests in tears! Guests were treated to gorgeous views of the Cotswolds under colourful flags after dinner as the sun went down, while the couple enjoyed a romantic boat ride on the farm’s lake. The couple had their first dance to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, holding their children and then launching into a game of Mr & Mrs before everyone let their hair down for the evening party.
From a lot of heartfelt laughter to the breathtaking scenery, it was a day filled with love, (tears of) joy, and unforgettable moments.
