Have you seen...?
If you'd prefer either a vintage Rolls-Royce limousine, or a Mk VI Bentley in two tones of silver, have a look at Bentley Wedding Cars. They actually have a matching pair of the Bentleys, which look wonderful together.

Steven Bradshaw was the photographer at a wedding we drove for last year, and applied his "Reportage" style to great effect - an interesting contrast to photographers who want to organise the whole day around their formal shots. We had another chance to watch him in action this year, and he was just as impressive.
We'd seen Cathy's website Oehlers Photography and been very impressed with her work, so it was great to meet Cathy at a recent wedding fair and to find her very approachable and full of ideas.
We also met Roy Bond - an exceptional Close-Up Magician, and couldn't resist trying a sample from Belgian Bliss's Chocolate Fountain. Gorgeous!

Most brides' fathers are almost too nervous to speak on their way to the wedding - but this year, one sang duets with his daughter! Jimmy Willan, of The Jimmy Willan Connection is a versatile professional musician who'd go down well at any wedding. "Get me to the Church on time", they sang; and we did.

By the very nature of things, by the time the Wedding Cake is cut, we're back home cleaning the car, not sampling cake, but I have to say how impressive Melbourne Cake Company's cakes look. Talk to them!
