Believe it or not, you did read that title correctly!
In July, I was delighted to provide the DJ entertainment for Christina and Leighton on a hot Summer’s night at the beautiful Ardencote Manor, and it is certainly a night that I’ll never forget.
For the first part of the evening, the guests were entertained by a traditional Ukrainian band and whilst they were playing, there were many Ukrainian traditions that were adhered to; my particular favourite was the kidnapping of the bride. I kid you not. However, saying that, I fear that Christina may have been the mastermind behind the whole operation. You see, I was close by when a sunburnt Christina and her “kidnappers” came outside, and when one of them was about to leave to deliver the ransom demand to the groom, it was the bride who demanded “Two grand cash, or I’m not coming back!” It was subtle, but my spidey senses did pick up on it. 😉
Leighton, however, is clearly a master negotiator as I heard that he only paid £1,000 and a bottle of wine. Good man!
After all the formalities were done and the band had played their last note, it was time for a tradition of mine – to keep that dancefloor jumping all night long, and what a great time that was had by all! With the professional lighting and sound system I use along with a selection of some great tunes by J-Lo, Justin Timberlake, Jason Derulo and Lady Gaga to name a few, Ardencote Manor was rocking until 1am!
Thankfully, photographer David Morphew was on hand to take some beautiful pictures of the happy couple and their guests, and was even kind enough to allow me to use a few for this blog entry.
