Every so often, I am reminded of an amazing celebration which took place a few years ago. Today, I’m returning to Tithe Barn for Lisa and Tim’s wedding at Tithe Barn on 3rd May 2013.
Here is the blog I created shortly after this fab wedding:
Lisa and Tim’s story: They met at work, and got engaged when Tim surprised Lisa on a holiday in the states by proposing in the Grand Canyon – WOW!
I met them about a year ago when they started planning the most important day of their lives – their wedding. I think they were intrigued by a wedding DJ offering to also be their Master of Ceremonies, and after a planning session the wedding day was ready and set to go. Lisa and Tim’s marriage consisted of a service in a nearby church, followed by a nibbles and drinks reception, then the wedding breakfast and finally the evening reception at the stunning Tithe Barn in Ditcham near Petersfield.
I provided my services as Master of Ceremonies, DJ for the evening, and music for the wedding breakfast as well as microphones for the speeches. Lisa and Tim made some great choices for their day, during the drinks reception a rhythm n blues band played a really cool selection of tunes, and in the evening there was a fish ‘n’ chip tram providing everyone with a tasty snack!
Lisa and Tim, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your big day, it was a pleasure working with you all.
