ASYLUM CHAPEL WEDDING LONDON
This is a special one – our very own wedding! You’re not short on beautiful wedding venues in London, but Asylum Chapel weddings have always caught our eye. When we got married we decided to hold the ceremony there, before hopping on some private hire London buses, provided by the brilliant, Timebus to our East London wedding reception venue, Studio Jones (previously Dalston Heights). (You can read more about that here, if you fancy!)
We were able to kit out Asylum Chapel with RedLine’s own equipment, and although mics weren’t needed for the ceremony, we did want the full impact of music for the aisle walk, music during the ceremony and drinks, sausage rolls and custard tarts after (thank you, Kitchen Party Events!). Leaving the music in the hands of a small bluetooth speaker felt a little risky given how music obsessed we both are and how often we’ve seen this go wrong at other weddings.
Hannah – my partner – is a massive Springsteen fan, and walked down the aisle to one of her favourite tracks off the album Born to Run, called Backstreets. Instead of lots of readings we then opted to play some more Bruce - this time ‘If I Should Fall Behind’ to the crowd, with a few short readings thrown in, too. We’d actually eloped in Scotland a week before, so with the legal bits taken care of, our friend was able to ‘marry’ us with a really fun and personalised service. Afterwards, we had the space for a few hours of drinking and music, before the main meal, speeches and dancing at Studio Jones, a venue we LOVE.
Big thanks to Kitchen Party Events for epic wedding food, Megan Elle Photography for the pics and Timebus for getting us from one venue to the next.
