Luke & Tanya: St Ethelburga’s & Never For Ever

Such a treasure in the middle of Bishopsgate, St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace is a beautiful place for a wedding. Upon entering the gates, you find a little tranquil garden with a gentle water fountain, and when you look up, you see mirrored skyscrapers towering above.

This was the perfect place for Luke and Tanya’s celebrations—a day of drinks, good food, and dancing… so much dancing!

After the ceremony, drinks, and canapés, we all boarded a bus parked in the shadow of The Gherkin and headed off to Kentish Town to Never for Ever for an evening of amazing food and incredible music.
