Mr & Mrs Wicker’s Real Essex Wedding
A Beautiful Summer Celebration at Gilwell Park
What a day this was! On one of the hottest days of the year, I had the pleasure of being the Wedding DJ and Host and Master of Ceremonies for Mr & Mrs Wicker’s beautiful wedding at Gilwell Park, Essex.
This was truly an international celebration, guests travelled from all over the world, with five different nationalities represented. The atmosphere was incredible from start to finish, full of laughter, love and great music.
All-Day Wedding DJ & Host Service
The couple booked my all-day service, which included full ceremony music production, background music during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast, plus my Master of Ceremonies support to help everything run seamlessly.
I also worked closely with the photographer to keep the schedule on track, something that was definitely needed on such a hot summer’s day! Later in the evening, once the speeches were done and the lights went down, it was time for the party to begin.
The First Dance
Mr & Mrs Wicker chose “Just The Way You Are” by Billy Joel for their first dance, timeless choice that felt beautifully personal and set the perfect tone for the evening ahead.
