Gigi and James’s wedding at Happy Valley Norfolk, an exclusive hire venue where guests camped under the stars, was an unforgettable celebration. Imagine Center Parcs without the hidden costs, and you get the vibe! The couple, who now live in New York, had friends and family fly in from around the globe to join them on their special day. The festivities kicked off with a lively ceilidh dance during the drinks reception, setting the tone for an evening full of energy and fun. A live band got everyone on their feet, and James even took the mic for a spirited rendition of Arctic Monkeys’ “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor.” Bridal party portraits were a blast, featuring vibrant smoke grenades by Enola Gaye, adding a colorful and dynamic touch to the day.

The outdoor ceremony took place under a canopy of trees, with a close friend officiating as Gigi and James exchanged heartfelt, personalized vows. Later in the evening, the couple’s passion for music was on full display as they went back-to-back on the DJ decks after the band’s set, keeping the dance floor alive. They also took a few moments for intimate portraits in a picturesque field just across the road. The unique blend of laid-back camping vibes and a high-energy party atmosphere made this wedding truly one-of-a-kind, showcasing Gigi and James’s adventurous spirit and love for music.
