In the midst of the global pandemic, love found a way to shine through. Today, we’re sharing a heartwarming story from our own Wedding Venue Lighting family – the journey of Kelly, our wedding & events manager, from her intimate Covid wedding to her upcoming vow renewal celebration.
A Magical Covid Wedding
When the world seemed to pause, Kelly and Oliver decided their love couldn’t wait. With Covid restrictions limiting guest numbers to just 15, they embraced the challenge and created a truly unforgettable day:
- The couple, along with 13 cherished guests, gathered at the picturesque Hazlewood Castle.
- Mother Nature added her own touch of magic with a surprise snowfall, creating a winter wonderland backdrop.
- Kelly, expecting their first child, radiated with joy as she walked down the aisle.
Despite the limitations, the day was described as “simply perfect given the circumstances.” It proved that love truly conquers all, even in the face of a global pandemic.
The Promise of a Grand Celebration
While their intimate wedding was beautiful, Kelly admits she feels she’s “owed a party” (especially one where she’s not pregnant!). The couple’s journey since their Covid wedding has been filled with milestones:
- A dreamy honeymoon in the Maldives
- Welcoming two beautiful children into the world
- Planning for the future and growing stronger as a family
Renewing Vows in Style
Now, Kelly and Oliver are setting their sights on a spectacular vow renewal to mark their 10th anniversary in 2030. This celebration promises to be the grand event they originally envisioned, with an estimated guest list of 200 ready to join in the festivities.
As part of the Wedding Venue Lighting family, we’re thrilled to be part of Kelly’s journey from the beginning. For her vow renewal, we’re already imagining how we’ll transform her chosen venue:
- Fairy Light Canopies: Create a twinkling, romantic atmosphere with our customisable fairy light installations. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor venues, these lights add a touch of magic to any space.
- Starlight Dance Floors: Make your first dance truly unforgettable on our LED starlight dance floor. Available in various sizes and colours, it’s sure to be a focal point of your celebration.
- Uplighting: Transform the entire mood of your venue with our professional uplighting services. Choose colours that match your theme or opt for dynamic, colour-changing effects throughout the evening.
- Neon Signs: Add a modern, personalised touch with a custom neon sign. Display your names, wedding date, or a meaningful phrase as a unique backdrop for photos.
- Mirror Photo Booth: Capture the joy of your guests with our sleek, interactive mirror photo booth. It’s a fun activity that also provides instant keep
- Audio Phone: Allow guests to leave heartfelt audio messages that you can treasure for years to come. It’s a unique alternative to traditional guest books.
Your Own Vow Renewal Dreams
Kelly’s story reminds us that love is adaptable, resilient, and always worth celebrating – whether in an intimate gathering or a grand party. If you’re considering renewing your own vows, here are some tips to make it special:
