Helen & Terry's wedding took place on a sunny October day at the fabulous Beamish Hall. Helen & Terry were both getting ready at the venue, so I covered the groom's preparations while Alison stayed with Helen and the girls. Helen looked fantastic in her dress which had a beautiful and unique jewelled back.
The ceremony took place in the Shafto Hall, which with it's dark wood panelling and candles in the fireplace is always so atmospheric. We were able to get outside for the group photos and shots of Helen & Terry together. They had booked the brilliant Howard Wing to provide entertainment throughout the days for their guests. He started by introducing the bridesmaids, ushers, best man, and then Helen & Terry into the Monboucher Room with their own personal song, and in the case of best man Rob dressing him up with a blue feather boa! During the wedding breakfast he sang to the guests, and there was also plenty of interaction as he got guests to join in and sing lines of swing classics. The piece de resistance was when That's Amore came on, everyone got up on their chairs and joined in with so much enthusiasm which was brilliant. Terry's a huge swing fan, and after seeing Howard at best man Rob's wedding knew they had to book him for their big day!
The evening reception was great entertainment for everyone too, after Helen & Terry's first dance it was Conga time followed by more singing and a dance off! Definitely a fun filled day, and we wish Helen & Terry all the best for the future.
Also if you ever visit Beamish Hall we'd highly recommend afternoon tea - all baked fresh on the premises & delicious!
