E&B put on a showstopping celebration back in April 2022 for our first Big Wedding of the season and we’re just swooning over all their gorgeous images - aren’t you?
A huge thank you to all the wonderful suppliers who helped to make E&B’s dreams come true.

The guests christened our brand new courtyard space - The Cattle Yard - in fabulous form, with a champagne reception served by our wonderful HVN Team, featuring a luxury popcorn station and hundreds of scrummy cheese straws homemade with love by some of their guests.
The brand-spanking-new bar (handcrafted by Scottie & Tony) was also open for the first time ever to help really get the party into full swing! Shots were a popular choice for guests, with plenty of delicious Happy Valley Cocktails to wash them down.
During the reception, the excited crowd enjoyed garden games galore while being beautifully serenaded by a soloist from The Nashville Heat.
In the Dutch Barn, beneath the couple’s own handmade bunting display, the banqueting-style tables were adorned with stunning Spring blooms locally grown by the wildly talented The Wildfolk Florist, while The Little Lending Company set up a gorgeous tipi corner for the little ones to hideaway.
Crosstown provided a towering display of delectable doughnuts, assembled by our talented team in front of a twinkly fairy-light photo feature wall, with hundreds of fantastic memories shared by the couple and their loved ones over the years - all for the guests to reminisce over while enjoying a doughnut - WIN!
The newlyweds made their way into The Dutch Barn with a waterside backdrop framed by the stunning floor-to-ceiling handcrafted wooden doors, and were greeted by raucous applause as they took their seats to enjoy their very first meal as husband and wife.
After the nicest vegan food we’ve ever tried (we still can’t believe it’s derived from fungus proteins!) from The Hogless Roast and some incredibly heartwarming speeches, the couple then enjoyed some fun with their friends which produced the most gorgeous smile-filled images which really captured the pure joy of friendship that their celebrations encapsulated throughout.
#BoysWillBeBoys!
There was something a little quieter about the room for a short while the guests nurtured their filled bellies… and it wasn’t long before we found out why - the boys had snuck off for some fun on the tyre swing!
Before he could get too roughed up by his boys, the Bride came and stole the Groom all for herself, which Alice Cunliffe has gorgeously captured in these breathtaking intimate shots as the sunny skies turned, gently, to dusk…
The couple returned to the party hand-in-hand and took to the dance floor for their First Dance where they whirled and twirled their hearts away, absolutely beaming.
The guests were eager to join them, and it wasn’t long before the Happy Valley Hay Barn was filled with lots of fantastically sassy dance moves and friends - both old friends and new friends alike - singing their hearts out as The Nashville Heat rocked the night away under our twinkly fairy light cartwheels and mesmerising golden disco ball.
