Ben and Eve's Wedding at Hundred House Hotel, Telford
Such a fun and colourful wedding. It was extra special to see these three officially become a family and how much that meant to their kid Courtney.
(There were also a gaggle of the most fun and funny kids at this wedding, they don’t feature in these public photos, but we were incredibly glad they were there.)

The train carriage was full and over flowing with bridesmaids and flower girls all getting ready. There was a lot of love and laughter. Eve’s friend was on hair and makeup which made things feel really relaxed, and she nailed the brief with the hair flowers.
Ben got ready in the hotel with some of the grooms party and gathered the guests ready for the ceremony.the wedding ceremony
Courtney was first down the aisle with a huge hug for her Dad. The bridesmaids entered in pairs with grown-ups and kids matched up, followed by Eve and her Dad. It was a precious start to the proceedings and Ben was in tears. He wasn’t the only one.
It was a simple ceremony, full of heart and surrounded by a crowd of their favourite people.
Ben and Eve snuck off for a moment outside as guests headed round to meet them with a pile of confetti. We grabbed a big group photo of everyone shot from a bedroom which overlooks the gardens.
There was time to mingle and tuck into the popcorn bar we took family into the round to the secret garden some fun photos. We had the sweetest time exploring the gardens with the flower girls.
Courtney brought out a present to give to Eve & Ben while they were in the gardens, a frame for one of our photos. Isn’t see the sweetest.

The starters were served in the garden so everyone could carry on chatting and relaxing. Then we went round to the barn for the rest of the meal. They’d kept the timings of the seated parts of the day deliberately short to make it easy for everyone. So they had just the main course and speeches in the barn.
Ben and Eve sat at a sweetheart table, perfect for them to have some space to themselves and perfect for us to watch their reactions during the speeches. The Groomsmen had everyone chuckling with their “I hate Ben” sign and a prank getting the least likely characters to return Ben’s spare keys.
There was more time in the garden with desserts and games. Hundred House served up ice cream cones for everyone with a sprinkles station to help yourselves.
The was changed into disco mode. We set the booth up in their marquee near the evening buffet, so everyone could find us. DJ Steve was spinning some tunes some tunes. A highlight of the night for us was the flowergirls begging him to play the macarena (they started before the meal!) and then having their own version of the dance moves when it finally got played. Things escalated from there with all ages on the dancefloor and more than a little bit of head banging.
What a special day. thanks for having us Courtney, Ben & Eve- Nom x
