Rosie & Andrew – Badminton House

Badminton House (Relaxed and Fun) Wedding Photography

Rosie and Andrew were determined to have a relaxed, happy and fun wedding and it delivered on all counts.  It was the type of wedding that you would want to be a guest at!  Rosie’s parents live close to Badminton and frequented the horse trials so they were delighted when they were discovered that they would be able to have a Badminton House wedding.

They had a beautiful church ceremony at St Mary’s Church in West Kington and then they drove to Badminton House in a gorgeous vintage Bentley.

The drinks reception was hosted in the gardens of the Orangery with the beautiful pool and fountain.  Guest then walked back to the house to have dinner in the stunning North Hall.   During dinner Michael Moore entertained – he is otherwise known as The Piano Animal and this quote on his website sums up what he brings to an event:

“It’s like he’s channeling a divine energy through his fingers into the keys with the intensity of an electrical storm. Michael a musical magician and will enchant your guests out of their polite, usual dance-floor shuffles to a shape-shifting, gleeful mob at the best gig of their life! In choosing Michael to play at your event you’re not choosing your “band” you’re choosing your energy source, your entertainer, your friend.From destination weddings to high profile events, Michael can shape and create a fantastic event for your special day.”

It was a fab day from beginning to end and was planned by Cotswold Wedding Planner Ruth of Brookman Greene.
