Rachel and Craig kept their July celebration at Cooling Castle Barn centred on family, speeches and time together. The day moved from bridal preparations nearby to a 2pm ceremony in the barn, then into a reception shaped by food, words and dancing.
Morning
Rachel prepared at Orchard B&B from late morning, close to Cooling Castle Barn. Craig arrived at the venue at midday, ahead of the ceremony and the guests gathering for the afternoon.
Ceremony
The ceremony took place at Cooling Castle Barn at 2pm. With the reception in the same setting, everyone stayed at the venue afterwards as the day moved into drinks, photographs and the build-up to the wedding breakfast.
Speeches and Wedding Breakfast
The wedding breakfast began at 4.30pm. Speeches followed after the meal, with words from Rachel’s father, Craig and the groomsmen.
Evening
The evening included the cake cutting at 7.30pm. After the first dance, Rachel also shared a father-daughter dance, giving the film a clear family moment to close the formal part of the day.
