BEHIND THE SCENES: A Proper English Wedding 

Those kind of churches and manor houses are pretty common in the UK, loved Jamie's shocked reaction!

so fun as a brit to watch you freak out about the church and manor, it all just looks like a regular wedding to me! California wins on weather but England wins on old buildings!

Lol, you so high energy, bouncing around, when the UK wedding planner is calm and soft-spoken

Jamie you can come to my wedding as a guest next year in Scotland if you want. Come see a proper Scottish wedding

I love how excited you got about the church. Literally every town has one as beautiful as this in the UK. took me a long time to figure out what a boutonniere was too. You had a lovely day weather-wise. It's rare 😂 x

Loved your reaction to an English wedding, an Irish wedding is even longer and slower 😂

Why is no one talking about that woman’s singing?! It was absolutely amazing

My wedding is 2 years form now, could you please do a video on a long term wedding planing/timeline! I just love you so much!

Please make a 'differences between english and american weddings' video, it would be fascinating to learn what they do differently! I love your channel and its been extremely helpful in getting myself prepped to plan my own wedding!! Thank you!

Wow!! I would love to see a video about venue research and the difference between ala carte and all inclusive venues (which is better budget wise) ☺️

So funny watching you freak out about the house, I don't think you could handle seeing Chatsworth house or Blenheim Palace! (I'm from the UK)

I am British so I love it when the other wedding planner said it’s nice! It is nice but we have so many gorgeous manors churches and buildings all over the UK!

I live for the hats the ladies wear to UK weddings. And the old beautiful buildings create such a neat backdrop.

I'm from Birmingham this was so weird seeing places I know. The manor was average you should see the castles!!

I’m so excited to look at the differences between the US and weddings here in the UK, I’ve been looking forward to this since you said you were coming over :)

Your reactions made me SO excited for my wedding next year! I'm an American expat in the UK, and know my family won't have experienced anything like the English estate country wedding we're having 😃 AND, I am hiring that message booth! I ❤️ it.

I loved hearing the soprano rehearse in that beautiful church! I am a mezzo-soprano and have sung for so many weddings and funerals (the Ave Maria is a very popular choice)...I’m not even engaged yet but I love watching these videos. One thing my boyfriend and I have agreed is that our best friend is going to play organ so hopefully we can find a church/venue that allows that.

I’m getting married in 3 weeks time 😃 you helped me a lot with my wedding so thanks 😃glad I find you on RU-vid 😃

i literally live opposite hampton manor!! crazy! ive been watching your channel for so long and didnt even know this video existed!

This was so fun to see your take on a British wedding. What did you think of the whole ‘evening guest’ thing? Some US people I’ve spoken to have said they like the idea but they couldn’t do it as people would think it was rude. Just curious as to your thoughts really. Glad you enjoyed it.

If you think it’s bright in England, you have to come to Sweden 😅 The sun sets at 10 pm where I live and it’s bright until 11, the sun rises at 3 am. In the far north of Sweden we have midnight sun during the summer. The sun never sets.

Please do a comparison follow up! Would love to know an American's experience/views on UK weddings!

you came to the UK at the perfect time. its usually really dull. and its only in summer where we have longer light days

Thanks for a fun video Jamie, love your excitement at a typical UK style wedding. Not all our venues are quite as fancy as this manor (you did pick a stunning wedding location to attend 😚) but this timeline is pretty normal for the UK, 10 hours plus ... and you'll still hear UK brides say (with a tint of sadness) how their wedding day went by too fast lol - I certainly did 🥰

I would like to see you on one of the typical polish weddings because it’s different kind of story 😂

I clicked so fast! I love your behind the scenes videos! 🙌🏼❤️

Please do a video on all the different things a coordinator is suppose to do! Its super helpful since im having family coordinate and it'll also give us insight on things we may be forgetting! :)

please make a video of hour by hour how the ideal wedding day would go? ☺️ thank you!!

wow. this was so fun to watch! i took a gap year at a school in a manor house in northern england and it looked SO similar to this one (from the outside)! this made me want to go back so bad! and english wedding would be so exciting ♥️ thanks for showing us this experience!

It’s super common here to have a small ceremony between 40-120 guests and then have a very large reception (evening do). It’s a chance to invite all your extended family, friends, work colleges + their partners to come and celebrate. Also we LOVE any excuse for a piss up haha

I love how excited you are about the venues! ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Your awesome.

Loved this! I'm in Scotland so we follow this kind of pattern. We are getting hitched in December 2020 so always looking for ideas I can put my own take on xx

I love this so much! It made me laugh at your reaction to everything here, because that’s exactly how I was when I moved to the UK in January. Living in Arizona my whole life things are wayyyy different! There are still things that surprise me to this day! So cool getting to see you work a wedding in a place I live! I hope you had a great time here!

I flippin love this! Your videos have helped me destress from the wedding planning, so thank you! I love the behind the scenes! This place kind of reminds me of the place Zoe goes for the Gleam Christmas party’s!

Your reactions were the best part of this video and I loved it!!!!! The venue was amazing!!!! I just adore you!!!

Im soooo happy you came to UK! You are totally amazing! So excited for my wedding next Saturday!

Absolutely love your reaction to everything. The stairs 😂😂 made me chuckle. I’m getting married 31st August at a little country pub in the UK that was previously a mill. You’re very welcome to come and look at a different type of architecture 😄

This is EPIC!!! I absolutely love the contrast of weddings in the US and the UK. This was such a fun ride, love!

What a beautiful wedding! I love the idea of recording a message for the bride & groom. This video was so interesting and entertaining ❤

Absolutely loved this. Was so nice to see you learning all about our UK traditions. It’s amazing how much they can differ from a US wedding ☺️ hope you enjoyed your stay in England! X

I waited patiently for this lovely video 👍

What a gorgeous wedding 😍 This makes me so excited for my own wedding in 3 months 🙌🏻

OMG! This was an amazing insight on an English wedding!!! LOVE IT!

Loved this video!!!!!!! Wow thank you for sharing!!!!!

Jamie is a good old American! Lol Haha I mean that in a kind way but she is so hyper and phoebe is like..... what it's a major chill out 😂😂

How exciting to see the differences! My wedding is two months away and your videos have helped me so much!! Would love to see a comparison video ❤️

That venue 😍😍 I loved your reaction!

That was incredible omg!!!!

Ahhhh 😍😍😍 I so love this video! I had the same reaction when I saw manor houses in England! I just appreciate everything about it! Im getting married in England in August 2020 and Im planning my wedding "long distance" way and letting my fiance get involve with the everything as he lives in the UK and I live in Canada. It would be an interesting video talking about wedding planning abroad. 😘

Great video!! I’m American and my fiancé is English and we’re planning to get married in England. I’ve noticed so many differences in US vs. UK weddings already and I’m just in the beginning stages of planning. Your videos have been so helpful already, a comparison video from your perspective would probably help clarify so much!! Thanks!! Love your channel!!

This was totally awesome!! How exciting for you! What a great adventure! :)

Never clicked so fast! New subscriber, Been binge watching your old content until you posted a new one!!

I'm getting married next year in March at a place called St Audries Park in the South West and its a gothic manor. Manors are absolutely stunning! Something the UK does brilliantly, stunning houses, stunning venues!

So lovely to meet you on this day! As one half of the videography team this day, it's super interesting to see the day from your perspective. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the uk! 😁

I love your videos, has helped me majorly seeming I am currently planning my own wedding, but the one thing I'm wondering is what to pack for the night before and night of wedding bag? It would totally help I know the basics but it's more the essentials in case any bride would forget to pack something.... Thank you for being amazing with what you do ❤️

Your reaction to the church and venue AMAZING :D it's great to see that you like the feel of a chilled out British wedding. We do them like this all the time. Also Meriden is where my Grandparents were from, it's such a pretty area. You have to try a Welsh wedding now.

This was cool! I'm getting married in about 8 months, and this got me so excited for my own wedding! I live in Mexico City so I get it when it comes to cultural differences in weddings. It's common to have "evening guests" here, too....that's the people who you don't know too well so you don't wanna pay to feed them, but they're good dancers so you invite them to fill up the dance floor. We dance a lot of salsa here, so excited for that party!!!

Love the behind the scenes! So cool to see a different region's way of doing things. I wonder if this wedding was pretty typical for the area?

omg who are these people!!! What an amazing set of musical guests!

This is so cool. Yup this is a typical British wedding 😂 I want to know the differences!!

Such brilliant content please do more behind the scenes if brides let you!

Love this vlog! I'm originally from the UK, but I moved to New Zealand when I was almost 3. My cousin had his wedding in the cutest chapel in Derbyshire, and they had the reception at his wife's parents farm in a marquee in one of the fields! Slightly different vibe to a manor reception, but it was still so much fun, and if I remember correctly, they did the same thing with the DJ coming in later and had a string quartet playing during cocktail hour/the beginning of the reception. I sang at their ceremony, so I remember their wedding so fondly. We're planning on going over to the UK for a very chilled out reception-like party for all my UK family over there, and I think it's going to be very different from anything that they normally have over there because my fiance is VERY kiwi. It should be interesting haha Please do a comparisons video! As someone who grew up in a country different from the one they were born in, I'm always interested in cultural differences, but especially when it comes to weddings! I find it all so interesting. In New Zealand everyone invites everyone to the ceremony, because it's cheaper, and invites only their nearest and dearest to the reception - which I feel like in the UK it's the other way round. So I find it all very interesting. Love what you do so much! All of your videos are so full of positive, fun-loving vibes. Keep doing what you're doing! And sorry for the long comment 😂

Yes! Follow up video please :)

Your in the UK 🇬🇧 WHOOOO!

So many traditions with a filipino ceremony. A whole ritual with sponsors during the ceremony, and a money dance during the reception. Only being half filipino and knowing I will be expected to include these. It's gonna be fun times.

Yay! You are awesome! I love the relaxed vibe of this event. How could you apply that in California?

I would LOVE if you would do a comparison video!

Jamie your reaction to the venue was amazing, there are alot of venues like these in the UK.. I so wish you could come back to help me with my daughters wedding in February but its way too short notice.. She wants her wedding to go more American than English because she just loves to be different and she's having 2 ceremonies.. One traditional church and one hands fasting outside which is pretty different for the UK and its mid February so it's probably going to be pretty cold and dark by 5pm

Phoebe is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! Wow

So cool! I'd like to know what elements of their wedding you liked most and could see implementing here in the US. The night time guests are interesting. Maybe that could save money on food costs? Do they have more appetizers or snacks at night?

I love this so much! Although I’m US born and raised, I’m planning to plan my wedding as English as possible because...well Jane Austen and Downton Abbey...I just attended a wedding in Iceland and the reception was similar in laid back but so much more special than most US weddings I’ve attended. Do you think it’s possible to have a reception like this in the US or would people feel antsy?

If you’re still in the UK you are come to come to my wedding this weekend !

Hey, do you have any videos on rehearsal dinners and how to do them at home or somewhere other then the venue on a budget?

If you think that’s chilled out you need to come to an Irish wedding 😂

Could you please do a video about destination weddings? I know you did one in Hawaii, which was more vlog style. I really love your videos and advice, and would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. (not going to lie, going to paste this in the next 3 videos of yours that I watch.) Also, I love you, and you're amazing and would love for you to plan my wedding when/if it happens.

There’s a couple venues like that here in Texas actually

Them fams have mulaaaaahh!!!! Jear desus! That's a very expensive wedding! Ah... I can only dream about that kind of wedding.

Woah quite an interesting wedding! Didnt know weddings in the UK lasted all day! Thanks so much for vlogging it Jamie!! Enjoyed it as you enjoyed it:)

You would be blown away by how long weddings are in France 😂 we take hours to eat and we usually eat way later than in the US ^^" also we often party until next morning 😅

I’m getting married in a castle. If you like our manors/stately homes, then I don’t know how you would feel about that. 😂🇬🇧 xx

I like the idea of day guests and evening guests can we make that a thing in the US!!! 🤑🤑🤑

Just adding to the requests to see an in-depth UK vs US wedding video!

Can I have a proper English wedding in Colorado? I love the flow and the vibe of the wedding!

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

As an aside, Phoebe is beautiful!

I cant believe how many guests wore white to the wedding!

I tried to follow the link for the British wedding planner and it say the link is broke

Any chance you could tell us the name of the company they hired for the singing waiters? Cuz they seemed incredible!

Have you been anywhere else in the UK? Our weddings are very different compared to America 😂

So what kind of flowers are those? Lol I’m dying to know they’re beautiful.

Do you not have churches in America? There’s at least one church like that in almost every village over here x

My question is where are the ppl when they do the flip? Do they have a second cocktail hour? Crazy long wedding. What was it 12 hours long?..... LOL

you think the Brits do it slow paced... I'm in the middle of planning my "french" wedding next year (marrying a french man) and finding out the timings are ridiculous!

I'm going to get married with an Englishman in Mexico, I want to know about traditional stuff on weddings there, I mean I see that part of people saying speeches and jokes that's a bit uncommon here. Is that an important tradition in England?... I'm building up ideas of mexican / english things that we could do in the wedding. I'm excited but this is overwhelming at times

My Dad is always saying only the 1% has those Pinterest weddings. Do you think thats accurate or do you think people in all social classes have weddings like that?

I think this is where they shoot THE MUMMY 2"

I don't necessarily think the vendors were joking when they said "it's just another opportunity for people to drink" hehe... I'd say that's pretty "proper" English ;)

American weddings.are fun but feel very rushed

Ivy is a weed 😂
