The Horniman is a fantastic museum and also a wonderful venue in which to hold a wedding celebration. As well as a venue full of character there are many locations around the site for great photos.
Hannah and Pippa had planned very well indeed for all stages of their special day and after consultation at the venue I was pleased to supply:
ceremony music
music for the drinks reception
organisation of the walrus selfie competition!!
mood lighting
background music for the wedding breakfast
transition to evening
evening DJ entertainment
During the day guests were invited to go take a selfie in the Museum with the infamous walrus as company. The images were sent to me for editing and then placed on a Slideshow for everyone to view. See below.
