Make some magic
From your special day to your home décor, keep it individual…
Oyez! Oyez!
...The sound of the
Rye town crier
telling the world
about your
wedding! The
ancient English
Town of Rye lies on
the East Sussex
coast on the edge
of the High Weald
Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. Once
virtually surrounded
by the sea, this small
and characterful
market town is
steeped in history – it
is one of the Cinque
Port Towns, lined up to
resist a Napoleonic invasion.
Be a part of this historic splendour by tying the knot in the
magnificent 18th-century Rye Town Hall, a Grade II listed building
in the Rye Conservation Area. Weddings are conducted in the
elegant Council Chamber, a former courtroom that provides a
unique and historic setting for the ceremony. And having the town
crier on hand to welcome guests and ‘cry’ the union from the steps
of the Town Hall is just the icing on the cake.

This is
your song
Among the key
focal points of
almost every
wedding day –
the ceremony,
cutting the cake
and the
speeches – your
first dance as
newlyweds is a
very special
moment. As you
take your first
tentative steps
on the dance floor, you hear the applause and
cameras flash... then come the opening chords of your
song, the song that is so special to you both.
So what better way to treasure the memory than with
a unique and personalised gold or silver plated disc
from The Gold Disc to commemorate your wedding
first dance – not just a talking point, but a reminder
that the first dance will last forever. The fantastic
selection of discs and photo presentations have been
used for awards by the Hard Rock Café and the
Hammersmith Apollo – and your new spouse will love
them too. http://thegolddisc.co.uk
Special pieces
There is something momentous about the time
you start shopping for furniture together,
choosing pieces that will last your lifetime
together and beyond. Why not do so in a
stunning and easily accessed location, with a
good café (and some friendly animals too) on
site? Situated on a farm in the picturesque village
of Chelsfield in Kent just 1 mile from Junction 4 of
the M25, Owen Pine and Oak Furniture stocks
and makes quality oak and pine bedroom, living
room, dining and office furniture.
Their barn-housed showroom has hundreds of
pieces of oak and pine furniture on display and
you can refresh and restore yourselves in the Barn Café, while you decide. Those
further afield can order online, and if you don’t see what you like or have an
awkward space to fill, they can create bespoke furniture according to your exact
needs and measurements. www.owenpine.co.uk
