Natasha & Philip’s Italian Villa Wedding
Italian Villa Weddings … I’m back there soon, which got me thinking about Tash and Phil’s big day. It really was one of the highlights of 2018 for me. With the recent weather, I thought now would be a good time to post about their day to remember!
Phil, Natasha and I have been friends for a few years. They are actually DJs too running a very successful business in Dorset which now focuses on children parties. They had recommended me several times to friends of theirs who were getting married. So, I was delighted when Tash phoned me just after they (finally 😉 ) got engaged and asked me to DJ their wedding. They actually switched venues because the first place they liked would only accept DJs on their list!
This made me think of my last post Don’t get caught in a Wedding Factory click here.
As a result, they finally settled on an Italian Villa wedding. It’s always great to work at this wonderful, award winning venue. I have many memories of Compton Acres including as a child standing by the pond, right up to Lauren and Dave’s wedding.
Tash and Phil made great use of the wedding planning folder I gave them. We had three meetings to talk through the various ideas. They asked for my recommendation for a Dorset based photographer, I suggested Tom and Murray from One Thousand Words Photography. I love their style of natural, timeless photography and they are always a joy to work alongside. The photographs on this blog post are all taken by Tom and Murray – great aren’t they! (I’m working with them again this year too!)
When the day arrived, it was absolutely gorgeous. The weather was perfect, the venue looked stunning and everyone had a day to remember.
Testimonial from One Thousand Words
Here are a few quotes from Tom and Murray about my contribution to Natasha & Philip’s Italian Villa Wedding.
“Tash and Phil’s wedding day would not have been the same without Paul. His organisational skills saw him pull the proverbial ‘rabbit out of the hat’ on more than one occasion when plans changed at the last minute.
He perfectly MC’d the speeches with his unique flair. When it came to the evening no one could have entertained the wedding guests better.
From our point of view the photographs of happy smiling guests were a direct result of Paul’s influence.”
