About David and Manmit’s Ceremony

David and Manmit chose the Sandstone Courtyard for their Wedding Ceremony.  We were there to perform for guests as they arrived at the Ceremony, however Manmit was walked down the aisle to the sounds of Bagpipes. With a nod to their Scottish heritage, the Sydney Bagpipes were a wonderful musical addition to their day.  


They had a unique selection of songs that we were very excited to learn and perform. Duke kept the love vibes high with our rendition of That’s All I’ve Got to Say by Jimmy Webb during the Signing Of The Register.  David and Manmit were officially announced husband and wife by their Minister and seen back down the aisle to the gloriously celebratory sounds of the Sydney Bagpipers again. 

Nearby Wedding Ceremony Locations

Guests were handed sparklers and you can see the moment was truly magical in their photos!! 

‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ by Whitney Houston was the kicker that started the Dance-Floor for the rest of the night’s partying.  Our Duke Trio kicked-off the dancing with a live set, which then transitioned to our DJ service to ensure guests were partying till the night was through! David and Manmit were sent lovingly off into married life at the end of the night to Lionel Ritchie’s ‘All Night Long’ – a fitting anthem for a lifelong journey of love ahead.

JT and Isabel’s Love Fiesta with Upside Down Events

JT and Isabel’s elegant Ceremony

JT and Isabel had their beautiful day on the Lawn, at the wonderful Ottimo House in Denham Court. Isabel gracefully walked down the aisle to the sounds of the Duke Duo’s cover of Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen.

Both JT and Isabel requested that Duke choose the perfect songs for the atmosphere when the signing of the register was taking place, allowing for the perfect sounds of Marry Me by Train, covered by the Duke Duo.

Drinks and Canapes on the beautiful lawn with the Duke Duo

After the ceremony, guests were invited to the lawn bar for Canapés where games were played, drinks were opened and the Duke Duo could be heard.

Celebrating at their Ottimo House Reception

Guests then went inside to enjoy JT and Isabel’s reception, styled by Lilac and her incredible team at Upside Down Events.
With a feasting banquet table loaded with Asian delicacies, roving Magic by Andy Nunn, and live music by our Duke Quintet. The party was highlighted by their beautiful first dance to Vivir Mi Vida by Marc Anthony. This first dance then turned into a surprise “Silly Dance” called Choo Choo Wa.

The Duke quintet then kicked off the DanceFloor with some of JT and Isabel’s favourite party bangers!
