Companies

We were delighted with our day and all the companies who provided the various parts of it. We would happily recommend any of the following.

		The service took place at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. As Dan worked there, this was obviously a Cathedral-family service, with the Cathedral Choir (directed by James Thomas) and four of the clergy taking part. The flower pedestals in the Cathedral were provided by Susan Cockram.
		The Athenaeum was the venue for our Reception. We used the lounge and reading room upstairs for drinks at the start (and quiet room during the dancing) and had our meal in the Ballroom.
		Sodexo Prestige run the Athenaeum and, as well as doing all of the reception arrangements, provided the delicious food.
		A&G Wedding Photography took the official photos during the service, and then some group shots afterwards.
		Infinity Digipix provided us with 20 hired digital cameras. The cameras arrived the week before the wedding, had been customised with our branding, and came with an easy-to-return parcel label so we could post them back the day after the wedding.
		WedPics is a free website / app which allowed our guests to share high-res photos with each other.
		Eastern Facilities Management Solutions print most of the Cathedral's Orders of Service, and printed ours.
		Kall Kwik Bury St Edmunds printed the Seating Plans and our menu cards.
		We used Vistaprint UK to produce personalised pens, and for our photo book.
		The male attire was hired from Richard Mark Menswear.
		The dress was bought from BHS.
		The bridesmaids' dresses were from the Début range at Debenhams.
		The Studio in Bury St Edmunds did the female hair styling on the morning of the wedding.
		Lisa at No 7 in Boots did the Bride's makeover.
