Katie & Gary: National Liberal Club Wedding

Katie spent her wedding morning getting ready in her family home, surrounded by her friends and family, while Gary and the groom’s party prepared for the wedding at The Royal Horseguards Hotel, just next door to the National Liberal Club, the venue for Katie and Gary’s wedding day.
Such a beautiful location for their celebrations, with so much history designed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse, known for many famous buildings, from the Natural History Museum to Strangeways!

Music is an important part of their lives, so this aspect of the day was well planned. The wedding ceremony started with ‘Real Love’ by Tom Odell and ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ by The Verve, and they signed the register to John Lennon’s ‘Grow Old With Me.’

The night ended with a dance floor full of energy, spilt drinks, and questionable dance moves, and live music from the Oasis tribute band Noasis.
