C&A
12 Apr, 2026Our Real Wedding
After a whole year of planning, we had the best day of our lives at our Indian wedding at Merrydale Manor, Knutsford surrounded by our friends and family who travelled near and far (including South India and San Francisco!) to make it super special. Merrydale Manor was an incredible venue with proactive and friendly wedding coordinators and a lively toastmaster and was simply beautiful, which made for some incredible photos.
All but one of our vendors were Manchester based, as we really wanted to support local businesses, and were all incredible, and we knew we could leave them to it and they knew exactly how to make the day super special in their own way. We had many(!) kids at our wedding, who were entertaining and particularly enjoyed the evening reception with all the partying, although probably didn't want to go to bed!
Our favourite moments were getting ready with our bridesmaids and groomsmen and spending some time together to get our couple photos with the photographers and videographers, which included some beautiful drone shots with the venue. Also, of course, the food and drinks, which were amazing and we only wish we had more time on the day to enjoy it! We had 3 choreographed dances for the evening reception, including a performance from Fiera Dance School and an interactive dancing session to get everyone up and boogey-ing! We had an Indian wedding with fusion elements of an English wedding, and the guests turned up looking incredible in their Indian clothes including sarees, kurtas, anarkalis and lehengas, we were so honoured that everyone made such a great effort and looked fantastic while doing so! We wish we could re-live the day all over again, it was truly special and one we will of course remember for the rest of our lives.Our vendors were:💒 Venue: @merrydalemanor📸 Photos: @emmabeaumontphotography and @asphoto_uk📹 Video: @tonyhassallfilms✋🏽Henna: @_nrheavenlyhenna🌹Venue dresser: @raniandroseevents💐Bridal Bouquet: @lau_blooms🥻Sari draping: @touch_with_joans👗Bridesmaid and groomsman outfits: @indya💍Rings: @henrydjohnstonejewellers👑Jewellery: @kushalsfashionjewellery💄Hair and makeup: @glamm.by.sam💅🏽Nails: @nailas_nail_room🥁Dhol drummers: @dholdrillerz💃🏾Entertainment: @fieradanceuk🥘Food: @saispicechorlton🎵DJ: @infinitive_music @dips_infinitivemusic
