One of the best things about my job is getting to know every couple in order to create the perfect playlist for their cocktail or reception. When a couple has such varied tastes as Sarah & Dean, the problem becomes less what to put in and more what to leave out!

Sarah had given me a brief of ‘romantic, relaxed and fun,’ so working with this and their love of stage and film music I could select pieces I knew they would enjoy based on their favourite artists – Michael Bublé, Take That, Norah Jones – and even include their favourite songs – Etta James’ ‘At Last’ and Elton John’s ‘Your Song’.

Sarah wanted to walk down the Aisle to a special string arrangement of the Ellie Goulding version of ‘How Long Will I Love You’ she had seen on YouTube, which I arranged, recorded and uploaded for her so she could listen in advance, and the couple chose ‘Feeling Good’ for their Recessional piece, which raised a few smiles and appreciative chuckles from their guests, and suited Sarah’s personality to a tee!
