LUHAR /TORRES: Weddings at Thornton Manor, Cheshire

MASSIVE WEDDING VIBES…

Why did you choose Thornton Manor for your BIG DAY?

We chose Thornton Manor because it gave us the best of both worlds with two venues. Julio really wanted an outdoors in the woods wedding and I really wanted the history and grandeur of the house. When we first drove up to the house, I knew is was the venue I had always dreamed of.

What made you choose RTP Films to capture your wedding?

Having someone capture the best day of our lives was really important. It was such a busy day (as I’m sure you remember) that I knew I wouldn’t be able to memories everything. We met with a lot of videographers and it was really important to have a good connection as it is such a personal and special day. We wanted that emotion to be captured. As soon as my dad, mum and I met you, we knew you were the right guys for the job!

What were your favorite parts of the wedding?

The best part of my day was the first dance. It was the first time in the day everything began to sink it. Julio and I have had a rocky road getting to this place and the song ‘At Last’ summed everything up. We finally had each other after everything we had been through. 5 years of long distance was not easy!

How did Julio propose?

4. Julio knew that the most important part of my life is my incredible family. He came from New York to the UK to spend Christmas with my family for the first time. On Christmas Eve, we travelled back to Preston from London (where I work) and when we got home there was the biggest bunch of flowers. Julio, got down on one knee and had a whole speech prepared and I didn’t hear any of it because I just couldn’t stop crying! Straight after we had saw all the family and the weeklong of celebrations began.

Congratulations Chandni & Julio, thanks for making us feel so very welcome x

Claire & Paul: Weddings at The Belsfield Hotel, Cumbria

wedding-video-cumbria

Snow was predicted, Sun took it’s place for this beautiful wedding in The Lake District

1) Why did you choose The Belsfield for your wedding?

We have always loved visiting the Lake District and my grandparents had a boathouse in Bowness for many years so we loved the homely feeling that the lakes had for us. The Belsfield stood out immediately on our tour of the many venues that we had seen online. In fact, I think it was my Dad initially who had stumbled across the Belsfield when we started looking at venues. By coincidence Paul’s parents had stayed there many years ago too, well before the Laura Ashley refurb!

2) What made you want a videographer for your wedding?

We had been told by many of our married friends how fast the day goes so knew it was important for us to capture the day from beginning to end. We loved recently watching my parents wedding video and knew that was something we would want to be able to do in years to come.

3) What were your favourite parts of the BIG DAY?

Claire- I find it hard to choose … at the start of the day it would have to be the dress reveal to my Dad but I also loved spending the morning with my 3 best friends, mum and Paul’s mum getting ready, then I’d say mine and Paul’s entrance to the wedding breakfast to ‘You’ve got the love’ and all the cheering and probably the moment Ellie Sax came on – we all had so much fun dancing the night away!
Paul- hearing the string quartet begin Des’ree Kissing You & seeing Claire walk down the aisle, unexpectedly, actually enjoying delivering my speech & the moment after the first dance, when the confetti cannons went off & Ellie Sax setting the tone for the night!
(We could go on & on … readings during the ceremony, speeches, string quartet, mind reader, casino – we loved it all!)

4) How did Paul propose? (Gushy details are allowed)

Paul first planned to propose when we were on holiday in Thailand, only I fell poorly so he had to re think his plan for when we were home! We had a birthday weekend in Chester planned a month or so later. I love a good picnic & the sun was shining so we went to a beautiful park for the afternoon. Little did I know, why Paul insisted on carrying the picnic bag over his shoulder covering his back pocket which had the ring in! During the picnic Paul climbed onto one knee & asked if I would marry him… he said some lovely words too but I was so in shock so I don’t think I registered what he had said… (apparently I grabbed the ring out of his hand and said is this real) … of course I said yes and couldn’t wait to phone our friends and family who were delighted. I still remember now how genuinely happy everyone was for us, it was a lovely lovely feeling!!

Ashley & Adam: Weddings at Sandhole Oak Barn, Cheshire

cheshire-wedding-video-bride

So much sun for a wedding in February…

We love it!!!! Can’t thank you enough!!!

(Ashley)

What made you choose Sandhole Oak Barn for your Wedding?

After having a look at (what feels like all) wedding venues online, I (Ashley) had arranged to see several we liked one weekend, I was back up North (as we were living in London at the time). The plan was to have a casual look – Adam wasn’t even there. Sandhole Oak was the first venue I visited and I called Adam to say we didn’t need to see any others.

Hi Roland just a quick thank you for the video you have just sent us of Ashley & Adams Wedding. In the words of my proud daughter who has just watched it. “ He has nailed it” you have absolutely captured all the emotion and love of the day!!

I just want to thank you to you and your wife for such an excellent job. I will be recommending you to everyone and our paths will meet again I am sure. 

Thanks from one Proud Dad. 

(Lee – A Very Proud Father of the Bride)

How did Adam propose?

I came home from work on a random Friday night to Adam, a French Bulldog puppy named Bruce and a ring.

What were your favourite memories from the Big Day?

Ashley – Getting ready with the girls – Seeing my dad for the first time before him walking me down the aisle – Seeing Adam for the first time

Adam – Morning beers – Watching Ashley walk down the aisle – Ant’s heckle during the best man speech

What experience did you want to give your guests?

A relaxed and fun day filled with happy memories.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Pritchard, our first wedding of 2018 and what a way to kick off 🙂

Natalie & Lee: Weddings at New House Farm, Cumbria

A beautiful wedding In The Lake District with Mr & Mrs Kent x

“We absolutely love it!!! Thank you so much, Can’t wait to show everyone!”

Natalie & Lee

Tell us about the engagement?
Engagement was last March in Dubai, Lee surprised me with the tickets for my 30th birthday and proposed while we were out there 4 days later on our 2 year anniversary.
What made you choose New House Farm for your wedding venue?
We just knew we wanted to get married in a barn with lots of fairy lights and candles and when we drove to the lakes to look at the venue after finding it on the internet we just fell in love with it. And the area was beautiful.
Why did you want a wedding video?
We wanted a wedding video so we could remember the day in a way that photos can’t quite provide, seeing some of the bits we missed or just didn’t manage to take in. I’m looking forward to watching the ceremony back and especially listening to the speeches again as I can’t remember them! (The things photos alone can’t do).
What were your favourite memories of the whole wedding experience?
Hard to pin point favourite memories as it was all so amazing, but things that stood out; I loved getting ready with the girls in the morning, walking down the aisle and partying with everyone we love in the same room.

Chrissie & Ben: Weddings at Heaton House Farm

manchester-wedding-video

“Absolute masterpiece mate! Loved it so much and can’t wait to share” – Ben Langstreth (Groomy)

Why did you choose Heaton House Farm as your wedding venue?

The moment we walked into Heaton House we fell in love. The set up, the aspect, the whole family feel gave it a pull over anything we had seen… and we saw a fair few. The views speak for themselves, incredible and the added bonus of having our nearest and dearest able to stay on site to debrief over a classic English breakfast the next morning. We knew from deal with the Heaton House Farm team they would be a well oiled machine… and they delivered.

Why did you pick us to create your wedding film?
From one short conversation at a Heaton House Farm event where you discussed your own proposal we loved your character and enthusiasm. We knew instantly you would bring this to the video and be able to bring our special day back to life in the best manner. The interviews of course were just a genius bonus!

Tell us about the proposal?
It was a standard Friday (as far as Chrissie was concerned) and as per usual Chrissie was late leaving work. I had planned the day all out, having the ring delivered by Amy and having our new sofas delivered as a surprise. I did not account for Chrissie being one and half hours late Coming  home. Having paced the floor for all this time and not eating anything, she eventually arrived home and kept me waiting even longer while she finished her phone call. She did however notice something odd. I was in my best shirt! And there were the logos Of my parents dancing school where she trained growing up and at the swimming club where we swam together.
She came to the door and the tears instantly began (both of us)
The boodles pink ribbon created a time line of our time together from the menu of our first date, to pictures all up the walls of days out, to the match day ticket of when I asked her dad. This took us to the bedroom where some of her favourite things were placed, then I stopped to one knee and could only get out the words “well will you”. She did say yes and I re enacted since.
The sofa was no longer an important part of the surprise but was a great place to chat about the build up.

What experience do you want to give to your guests?

A relaxed environment where they could enjoy the venue and each other’s company so we could see smiling faces.

Rosie & Richard: Weddings at Thornton Manor

manchester-wedding-video

After 1 meeting in a coffee shop in Bolton, we knew right then that this wedding was gonna be a whole lot of fun!

We had a very early start jumping between Thornton Manor & Thornton Hall with Andy Keher during the Bridal & Groom preparations, Qube Events put their final touches to the ceremony area whilst Piano Daisy had a little practice with one of Rosie’s Bridesmaids.

Sunshine & Planes filled the sky after the ceremony and after an extremely competitive ‘Throwing of the Bouquet’ everyone headed inside for a mad party thanks to the guys at Six15 Events.

Such a great way to end the summer, thanks for inviting us Mr & Mrs C x
