For a spellbinding hush Locus Iste (Bruckner) – stop what you’re doing, turn everything off, and just listen to this. In this spine-tingling piece, the words are meant to bless the spot before something holy takes place there. The sense of perfect, transcendent harmony in this piece is absolutely indescribable.

How to have a wedding day to remember!

The question every couple wants the answer to, how to have the wedding day everyone will remember?

“I think it is empowering that couples are taking control of how they want to share the experience of their marriage. Couples from all backgrounds are realising they do not want to be told how to celebrate their love.”

Getting Married Abroad

Getting married abroad used to be just for the rich and famous but nowadays even those on a budget can achieve their dream sunshine wedding.

The most important thing you need to consider is the legalities. Each country will have its own rules and regulations so it is very important for you to research what is required for your chosen location.

Things to consider

Keep your guest list short and sweet

Think carefully about who you want to invite, and don't be afraid to cut out any extras. Remember, it's your day, and the ones who should be present are only those who will make it special for you.
