Grace & Andrew’s Wedding at Cowley Manor, Cotswolds

There’s something very special about a summer wedding in the Cotswolds, and Grace and Andrew’s beautiful celebration at Cowley Manor was a perfect example.

Living in New York, the couple chose to return to Andrew’s home country for the wedding, bringing together family and friends from both sides of the Atlantic for a brilliant UK-USA celebration.

And the Cotswolds certainly delivered.

Cowley Manor provided a stunning backdrop for the day, combining beautiful countryside with a stylish and relaxed atmosphere.

It was exactly the kind of setting that works so well with The Mini Big Band’s mix of swing, jazz and big band music — elegant enough for the surroundings, but with plenty of energy once the evening celebrations began.

A Packed Dance Floor All Night

Grace and Andrew’s guests were an absolute joy.

The dance floor stayed packed, the room was full of smiles and laughter, and the atmosphere never really dropped all evening.

There may also have been a fairly impressive number of espresso martinis involved — bravo to the bar team!

It was one of those weddings that simply felt happy from start to finish, and we loved being part of it.

Well, this was one heck of a party!!

Mandy and Joe set up this beautiful Tipi in their local village for the most perfect and relaxed wedding. 

With local butchers providing the most amazing food and the local pub providing the bar this wedding had a real connection to the area and the amazing people who Mandy and Joe are lucky to have as friends. 

This party went off!! So much so that I can’t really post pictures from the end of the night due to instagrams policy on bare chests (fellas….) 😂

This wedding came at the end of a busy 6 event run for us and we had such a blast. Im not sure who was entertaining who?

All the best guys. The MBB x
