Elaine & Andy's Wedding at The Villa Wrea Green | Magic Mirror Hire

What a privilege it was to be part of Elaine and Andy's wedding day at The Villa Wrea Green on Saturday 4th April 2026. This gorgeous country house hotel in the quaint Lancashire village of Wrea Green made for a truly special setting, and the two of them had put together a celebration that their guests absolutely loved.

The Venue: The Villa Wrea Green

The Villa Country House Hotel sits in the peaceful Lancashire countryside, offering a relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere that suits a wedding day perfectly. It has that rare combination of elegance and warmth that makes guests feel genuinely at ease, which is exactly what you want when people are stepping in front of a camera.

The grounds and interiors give plenty of character to work with, and as a Lancashire Wedding Bureau venue, it consistently delivers a high-quality experience for couples and their guests. We have worked at some brilliant venues across the North West, and The Villa absolutely holds its own.

Our Magic Mirror at Elaine & Andy's Wedding

Elaine and Andy chose our Magic Mirror hire as their entertainment centrepiece for the evening reception, and it was a brilliant fit for the venue's elegant style. The Magic Mirror has a full-length, glamorous look that complements a formal wedding setting far more naturally than a traditional enclosed booth.

We set the mirror up with a full Red Carpet, Ropes and Silver Stanchions entrance, which immediately gave the whole area a VIP feel. Guests were queuing up to step on that carpet all evening, and more than a few arrived already striking a pose before they had even reached the mirror itself.

What Was Included on the Night

• Red carpet entrance with ropes and silver stanchions
• Bespoke print design created specifically for Elaine and Andy's wedding
• A choice of hundreds of print templates
• Fun prop box to keep guests entertained
• Accommodates up to 4 people per shot, perfect for group photos
• Video messaging so guests could leave personal messages for the couple
• Online gallery for guests to view and share their photos after the event
• Download link with high quality digital copies for every guest
• Extra set of prints for the couple's own photo guest book
• Audio Guest Book combo, giving guests a chance to record heartfelt voice messages
• Friendly attendant on hand all evening
• Full setup and takedown, plus one hour early setup to ensure everything was perfect before guests arrived
• Full PLI and insurance certificates provided

The Audio Guest Book: A Highlight of the Evening

Alongside the Magic Mirror, the couple opted for our Audio Guest Book combo, and this really did add something extra special to the night. Guests picked up the retro-style telephone handset and left personal voice messages for Elaine and Andy, from heartfelt speeches to the odd joke that probably got better as the evening went on.

It is one of those additions that couples might not think about initially, but when they sit down to listen back to it in the weeks after the wedding, it becomes one of their most treasured keepsakes. We would always recommend pairing it with a photo booth or mirror hire if the budget allows.

A Night the Guests Will Remember

By the end of the evening, the prop box had been thoroughly raided, the online gallery was full of brilliant shots, and the couple had a beautiful photo guest book to take home. It was one of those nights where everything just worked, and the atmosphere in the room was genuinely joyful from start to finish.

A huge congratulations to Elaine and Andy. Thank you for choosing CandidCamera as part of your special day. We hope you love looking back through those photos and messages for years to come.
