Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Hillingdon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
