THE WEDDING MAN
the feedback
Rather than the wedding man sounding like a real bighead by going on (and on and on…) about how great your carefully personalised ceremony will be, he reckons you should read what a whole load of happy couples thought about his small contribution to their big day. Plus, there’s a pretty snapshot of each wedding in question!
If you still haven’t had enough of the wedding man, check out his instagram posts & stories for more great feedback and to find tons of potential suppliers he has tagged.
