This was my first Gote Barn wedding and it was gorgeous! I have worked with Circa Events several times and this is a venue they manage, along with Falmer Court and Firle Place. The barn is lovely a rustic and this was their first outdoor wedding. Ed came to greet Amy before the ceremony and they walked, well danced, in together. Their celebrant is a good friend of mine, the really lovely Hannah Osmond, and she wrote a unique ceremony that meant a lot to them, complete with personalised vows and a sing along to ‘I’ll Be There For You’ by The Rembrandts (otherwise known as the Friends theme tune!). Their vows were emotional and had everyone in tears. It was truly wonderful to be a part of, that’s what I love about my job, that I get to witness so many moving moments like this. After the ceremony there were drinks on the lawns, with a magician Stephen James, followed by speeches in the gorgeous fairylight lit barn. As the sun was going down Amy and Ed had portraits by the stunning flower urns by Bryony Mae Flowers. They were so much fun to photograph, always laughing together. They ended the night with a sparkler exit after dancing the night away. It just shows that every Gote Barn wedding is different! I can’t wait to be back again soon, it’s so local to me as well.
