A Rustic Celebration at Sugar Loaf Barn: Sam and Evie's Wedding
A Heartwarming Beginning
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Abergavenny, Sugar Loaf Barn (visit their website) provided the ideal rustic backdrop for Sam and Evie's wedding on 8th July 2023. The couple, who met in Reading and bonded over shared experiences, were a delight to work with. Despite not having met them prior to the wedding, we quickly built a rapport that set the tone for a joyous celebration.
The Bridal Party and Family Connection
Evie's bridal party was warm and outgoing, filled with laughter and good spirits. The maid of honour stood out with her helpful attitude, taking charge where needed, while the father of the bride's engaging conversation made everyone feel welcome.
The Venue: A Working Farm and a Well-Oiled Machine
Sugar Loaf Barn was not just a venue but a working farm that seamlessly transformed into a gorgeous wedding destination. Guests were transported to the barn via a tractor—a delightful feature loved by all. Despite the change in plans due to rain, the ceremony proceeded indoors, with spectacular views of the mountain from the top of the hill. A humorous moment with the barn door swinging shut, hitting my elbow, added a lighthearted touch to the emotional event.
Memorable Moments and Exceptional Suppliers
The reception was an absolute blast with Tomos Lewis serenading the guests, while the delicious BBQ spread by The Welshman's Lunch tantalized everyone's taste buds. The evening was further sweetened with brownies and cakes by Beth's Bakes Newport, while the bride's stunning dress from Laura May Bridal added to the elegance of the day. Not to forget the beautiful makeup by Nicola Pitman MUA, which accentuated the bride's natural beauty.
A Golden Hour to Remember
The highlight of the day came when the rain took a break, allowing us to head to the top of the mountain on a quad tractor for a magical golden hour photoshoot. The result was breathtaking, and it was the perfect way to capture Sam and Evie's love for one another.
A Roaring Success
This wedding at Sugar Loaf Barn was not only a celebration of love but a testament to the thoughtful planning and hard work of everyone involved. The venue's staff, the suppliers, and the family all came together to ensure a day filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
From the rustic charm of the venue to the warmth of the couple, the day was filled with unique touches and shared emotions that made it truly special. It was a fantastic wedding, a roaring success, and a pleasure to be a part of. Sam and Evie's big day will undoubtedly remain etched in the hearts of all those who were present.
