Bon Vivant looked after all the drinks and cocktails for the day so while they served the Prosecco, we went around offering the following canapes:

– Chilli & Garlic Prawns
– Honeyed Sausages with Mustard Mayo
– Smoked Salmon Blinis
– Pesto & Mozzarella Arancini with Sun Blush Tomato Dip
– Mini Yorkshire Puddings with Roast Beef & Horseradish

After drinks, canapes and photos it was time for the wedding breakfast! Howard Wing got everyone seated and then introduced the bridesmaids, ushers, best men and the new Mr and Mrs Porter!

Once everyone was seated it was time for the wedding breakfast.
