BRIDGETTE’S TIPS FOR HOSTING A WEDDING

The success is in the detail. Every aspect has to be thought through. Try not to say “no” to anything. It’s their special day. We once had a Ferris wheel on site. Mitigate against anything that

could go wrong. If there is a power cut, I have a generator on hand. Fireworks are wonderful, but in summer on a farm, it’s too risky. Flying lanterns look beautiful, but if they all end up on your neighbour’s property, you need to re-think.

Most memorable wedding. A bride who was a wonderful singer arranged to have a white grand piano near where they took their vows. After she walked down the aisle, she played the love song A

Thousand Years. It was amazing. I still have it on my phone. redbarn.co.nz
