Sophie & Sam's Wedding - Alex Rimell Sax

“We couldn’t have asked for a better saxophonist at our wedding!"

Autumn weddings in North Norfolk always have a certain charm, and Sam & Sophie’s day at The Hoste was a perfect example of that relaxed, stylish feel. The perfect autumnal Norfolk wedding.

From the very first message, it was clear Sam & Sophie had a strong sense of the atmosphere they wanted to create. They booked me for two hours during their drinks reception and into the start of the wedding breakfast, looking for music that felt laid-back, soulful and uplifting. Something that would set the tone for the afternoon without feeling overpowering.

Their words summed it up perfectly: “We’ve had a look at your setlist already and it’s very much aligned with our vibe.”

Drinks Reception & Wedding Breakfast Entrance

As guests gathered for cocktails, the focus was all about creating a stylish but fun atmosphere. Smooth soul, classic pop and feel good favourites flowed throughout the reception which gave people space to chat, sip drinks and enjoy the delicious canapés.

The transition into the wedding breakfast was a real highlight. Sam & Sophie made their entrance to ‘September’ by Earth, Wind & Fire, instantly lifting the energy in the room! Napkins in the air time!

A Team Effort

Huge credit goes to Tracey, the wedding coordinator at The Hoste! For keeping everything running smoothly and making the day feel effortless from start to finish. It’s always a pleasure working alongside organised, calm venue teams. It makes such a difference to the flow of the day.

Final Thoughts

Sophie and Sam’s wedding was the perfect example of an Autumn wedding done right. From the colours they had chosen for their flowers and decor, to small details like a polaroid camera and entrance shots. It really felt personal to them.

Thank you both for having me as part of such a lovely Norfolk wedding. It was an absolute pleasure.

If you’re planning a Norfolk wedding at The Hoste or anywhere across East Anglia, I’d love to chat about your date.
