The Challenge

Claire and Cam wanted to celebrate 20 years of marriage in style with a magical Christmas vow renewal. The couple engaged Saving Grace Events to create something extra-special with wow factor but that also was also warm and intimate enough for their 80 close friends and family.

What we did

Using the couples stunning home Barlston Hall as the backdrop we started with an eclectic mix up of a gospel choir within the traditional chapel in the grounds of the estate. Guests enjoyed gospel and modern songs and a personal friend leading the renewal service. This was followed by a champagne reception in the church, canapes and bowl foods in the hall and a ton of entertainment all framed with beautiful floral and Christmas decor

The Result

“Our 20th Wedding Anniversary vow renewal. was executed perfectly. Rebecca’s team’s attention to detail is always key to me. The little touches like the flowers, signage, candles and general styling make for a wonderful atmosphere. I also love how they make our guest feel so special and at ease. We always get compliments afterwards, whatever our vison they will always bring it to life”
