How the night ran

How did Audrey and Abbas’s wedding night run?

A string quartet, eighteen uplights and a Selfie Mirror. Rain moved everything inside. In Audrey’s survey: the check-ins and the quartet.

  1. At the front of the chapel, the bride and groom throw their arms in the air after their first kiss, a wall of tall windows and a timber cross behind them at Integrity Hills, Ridgedale

    What they wanted

    Audrey and Abbas booked Elevate on 18 January 2025, nine months to the day before their wedding. The ceremony was held in the Chapel at Integrity Hills, under stained glass and candle chandeliers.

  2. The bride, laughing, wraps her arms around the groom as he lifts her on the dance floor, under hanging lampshades, greenery and orange flower garlands, guests cheering from their tables at Integrity Hills, Ridgedale

    How the night ran

    Stefan wrote in his report after the wedding that rain moved everything inside, and that it worked out great. This frame catches the two of them mid-lift, the floor to themselves, under the greenery and orange garlands.

  3. The bride, laughing, hugs the groom on the dance floor as friends in black tie and velvet gather around them at Integrity Hills, Ridgedale

    How it turned out

    In Elevate’s private client survey, Audrey called the quartet amazing and named the check-ins and the questionnaire as the favorite thing. Three of the answers follow, word for word. In this frame, they hug while friends crowd in around them on the dance floor.
