2016 ROUND UP

I have ummed and urred about putting up a 2016 post. For personal reasons it was the saddest, darkest, blackest year we’ve known. As a family we had to do stuff that never seemed possible and was never ever part of anybody’s plan. Somehow or other we got through it, it’s gone past in a […]

Debbie and Jon were married at the Pavilion in Brighton and then made their way to The Secret Barn by bus (a kindly coach driver stepped in when the bus they booked didn’t turn up!). Back at the barn they ate, drank and were merry. A fun time was had by all. Lisa Jane took […]

Right from Helen’s very first email you could tell that their wedding was going to be super-stylish. Once we met up and had a chance to chat through their plans and ideas […]

We are really lucky with the people we get to work with. Most of our couples are great and we get along swimmingly. Every so often a couple come along who you could imagine being mates with. Alex and Natalie were a dream to deal with from beginning to end. They had a blessing in […]
