Sarah and Selim brought the best of English and Turkish to their wedding celebration at the very grand Dulwich College. After dining in the opulent first floor function hall Sarah and Selim descended with their guests to the equally superb Lower Hall and Cloisters. Sarah and Selim were keen to enhance the ambience and I was pleased they took on board my recommendation for mood lighting - even in already grand locations, mood lighting can enhance the features and characteristics still further.

Sarah and Selim had hoped for a vibrant synergy between the respective cultures via the playing of some classic Turkish tunes and, for the majority, classic wedding dance tunes. This worked well and the Turkish dance numbers went down a storm.
It was a great celebration in a beautiful classic English venue.
Mood lighting enhancing the classical features still further.
