Andrew & Angela's crazy wedding at Horton Grange

Wedding Reception DJ Horton Grange, Northumberland
Over the years I've presided over many weddings but this one was really special.

I planned this one to perfection with Andrew and Angela meeting them at their home on two occasions and exchanging numerous emails as everything was refined up to the day of the wedding itself.

Despite the planning there was an awful lot of improvisation on the day as I reacted to the mood and what was happening  the result was magical.

We hoped for an outside wedding as it was nearing the end of September but planned for an indoor ceremony just in case. As it happens the sun came out after a few days of rain and all was well.
Prelude - As guests arrived I set up outside and played a selection of acoustic stripped back piano music to provide a calm, elegant start to the day 

The Processional Song chosen by Angela was the Piano Jukebox version of Kygo's Firestone and complemented the prelude music perfectly.

Signing the Register Two songs were chosen including Iz and his version of Somewhere over the Rainbow / Wonderful World and Coldplay - Sky Full of Stars.

The Wedding Breakfast & Speeches. Once the guests were seated for the wedding breakfast I took on the Master of Ceremonies role and announced Andrew and Angela into the Wedding Breakfast. The musical backdrop was 2 Unlimited - Get Ready for This and the room went nuts!

Wireless microphones were provided for the speeches with the groom's sisters taking on the joint role of Best "Man" and they didn't disappoint.

After the speeches we planned some low background music with a good mix of music including tracks from their favourite artists along with some carefully chosen personal songs for members of their family

​Well unsurprisingly the Room Changeover ran a little late.

The disco and lighting was set up, the fourth set up of the day after the outside ceremony, the drinks reception and then the wedding breakfast I was on the move again.

Things were set up quickly and I managed to make up a little for the lost time.

It was a shame to call a break at a time when everyone was simply buzzing and ready to party.

​The Recessional song was a custom edited version of Imagine Dragons of I'm on Top of The World that I put together and it absolutely hit the mark ... well it was version 3.
​
Drinks Reception - After the wedding ceremony there were drinks and canapés and an opportunity for photographs. I played a good mix of upbeat and celebratory tunes. I dropped Katy Perry's Firework in for the Confetti Shot and this worked like a dream.

As I popped Rod Stewart's - First Cut is the Deepest on around 5 tracks in I noticed everyone had decided to sing-along. What followed was a series of sing-along songs and the room went nuts.

The tables were singing and not long before everyone was up dancing making the serving of the wedding breakfast a nightmare for Horton Grange, I'm sure they didn't mind,

The night kicking off and ending with  a Dunsmure family anthem Human from the Killers. 

Too many fantastic moments including a legendary Michael Jackson performance from the Groom.

A top top day and the very best start to life for the brand new Mr and Mrs Dunsmure.
As the Evening Party got underway another Grand Entrance into the evening reception this time to Kernkraft's Zombie Nation which ended up as a mad First Dance ahead of the actual First Dance, which then became the Second Dance ....Who Cares it was spontaneous and fun something the more formal wedding celebrations often lack.

Eventually the First Dance got underway to Erasure - Always with all of the guests cheering and joining in after the first chorus.

Regardless of how crazy the day had been, I am happy that this couple finally got their dream wedding already! We can see in Andrew and Angela's faces that they love each other, and that was the day they have been waiting for to happen. The wedding went well. They followed the process and the exchange of vows was just the sweetest. There was as video coverage of their wedding, and I saw it on Youtube. You can see the people around them are so happy for the couple!
