JESSE + JESSE | SOHO FARMHOUSE | OXFORDSHIRE, UK

To kick off their wedding weekend, Jesse and Jesse hosted a vibrant Summer Solstice-themed welcome party in the heart of the English countryside. The celebration, held on the actual night of the Summer Solstice, was a perfect embrace of the season. Guests were greeted by a stunning entrance adorned with handmade flower crowns crafted from an array of colorful florals. They could choose a crown and wander into the festivities, where no detail was spared. Culinary delights included passed bites like prosciutto and melon skewers and mushroom arancini, leading into into food stations offering BBQ with pulled pork and sliders, a pizza station with various toppings, and a 5-foot grazing table abundant with fresh cheeses, meats, and crudités. A spritz bar offered four variations of spritzes, each featuring custom ice cubes with pressed flowers inside, adding a touch of elegance to the evening. All of this unfolded to the enchanting sounds of a live roaming quartet, wandering amongst the guests. Heartfelt speeches transitioned into an electrifying dance party, powered by an 8-piece band with saxophones, trumpets, drums, and more. But the night didn't end there--the celebration continued at the Farmhouse's iconic pub, where a DJ kept the energy alive well into the night.
