MCGILL SISTERS - BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE WEDDING FILMS

As the name suggests, this company consists of two sisters, Sinead & Siobhan, who are based in Bristol. They make beautiful and unique wedding films to capture couples and their  loved ones on their wedding day. I love this quote from the sisters about their work style;

'We are there to catch everything from the champagne in the morning to the hilarious dancing in the evening, with laughs, hugs and tears in between! We LOVE couples who are unique, adventurous, and crazy about each other. And if you're up for a bit of hiking for an amazing backdrop,or doing something fun for the perfect shot, even better! '

They film in a very natural, unobtrusive manner and using small film cameras. The McGill sisters aim to blend in with your guests, chat to your family and friends, and then you can truly let your hair down, and forget that they're  even there! No one wants a camera in their face during the day and they are experts in capturing the relaxed and spontaneous moments of the day.

Once filming is over, they take special care selecting these moments, synching them with sound and editing them together to make your unique story of the day. I love how honest they are in saying that they spend lots of hours doing this, and don't like to rush! Using ambient sounds, music and accompanying vows and speeches, it results in a beautiful and heartfelt film that will bring the memories flooding back! 

Have a look at one of their highlights videos with lots more weddings on their website. We are really excited that they will be capturing the day at the fair too for us!

THE DAFFODIL - FOR FILM STAR WEDDING DAY GLAMOUR!

Let me introduce you to the star of our Wedding Fair - The Daffodil!


I had been looking for a venue in Cheltenham for a while.  There are some  beautiful buildings but I wanted something that made my heart thump and my senses go WOW!  A friend had mentioned The Daffodil to me so I googled it and got quite excited.  But I've been disappointed before, so I made an appointment to meet up with their Events Manager and take a look.

The minute I saw the frontage I knew I was going to love it ... and walking into the building just knocked my socks off!  I am a MASSIVE film fan ... but my true love is vintage films - black and white, period films - glamorous, gorgeous and my style inspiration.  Well The Daffodil reflects all of that.  I was so thrilled when they said they'd like to host my vintage wedding fair.



Cheltenham's first purpose built picture palace, opening its doors to the public on the 5th October 1922, its Art Deco style was an instant success.  It was the height of glamour, with an upper circle lounge area for relaxing pre-feature, perfume vending spritzers in the ladies powder room and the country's first 'kissing seats' designed for courting couples.

The advent of television caused it's closure and, after several different incarnations restaurateur Mark Stephens fell in love with its potential in late 1996.    The Daffodil was lovingly restored with many original features reinstated and is now one of Britain's most unique and dramatic dining rooms.  

A dazzling open kitchen has replaced the silver screen, displaying a different kind of theatre, overseen by renowned Head Chef, Tom Rains, serving daily and seasonal specials combined with well established favourites.  The restaurant has established a great reputation for producing delicious and unpretentious classic dishes using the finest seasonal ingredients.

Not only that ... The Daffodil is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, with a bespoke planning service to provide everything you need for a fairytale day.  Up to 140 guests can dine on the day or you can have a more cozy, intimate affair.  Whatever you want, the Daffodil can truly make you feel like a film star for a day!

On the 21st, the fully licensed cocktail bar, set in the mezzanine circle balcony and overlooking the hustle and bustle below, will be serving their Matinee Menu so, when you're overwhelmed by all the gorgeous exhibits, why not sit back, enjoy the view and pretend you're back in the '20's!
