Callum Brown and Hollie Davy
Vaulty Manor
6th August 2025
“Callum and I met back in 2015 when we were just 19, through mutual friends at a bar. From that very first night, we clicked instantly. I think we spent the whole evening talking, laughing and completely ignoring everyone else! Over the years, our bond only grew stronger.
Falling in Love
What drew me to Callum was his sense of humour. He can make me laugh even on my worst days! He’s also incredibly supportive, patient, and hardworking. I think it was after lockdown, when we were forced to spend months apart with our families, that we realised we couldn’t cope without each other. That’s when we decided to take the next step and buy a flat together. From that moment on, I knew we were building a life that would last forever.
The Proposal
Callum proposed after seven wonderful years together. For as long as we’d been a couple, we’d joined my family on holiday to Cornwall, and Fistral Beach has always been my happy place. So, when he suggested a walk along Headland Point, I had no idea what was about to happen! Standing there, looking out over the beach, he suddenly got down on one knee - I said yes, of course! That year became even more magical when we found out our little boy was on the way. Suddenly, our celebrations felt twice as special, and I couldn’t wait to share all of these milestones with our friends and family.
Choosing the perfect venue
I’ve always dreamed of a big white wedding. One that was romantic, but also slightly rustic. I love weddings in converted barns and also being outdoors. When we viewed Vaulty Manor (on a bit of a whim) we absolutely fell in love. It really did tick every box. The countryside setting felt intimate and exclusive, yet it had a modern feel that suited our style perfectly. From the moment we walked in, I could imagine our friends and family celebrating with us. Callum and I both agreed instantly that it was the one. Our parents, Mark and Angela Davy and Mark and Charlotte Brown, were thrilled, and sensing their excitement made it even more special.
I was so lucky that my sister Katie Davy, Sydney Munson, Bailee Munson, Bobbie Brice, Anna Bareham and Alicia Blake agreed to be my bridesmaids, and I know that Callum felt the same about his groomsmen Blaine Smith, Jordan Brown, Laurie Brown, Ethan Brown, Max Faulkner, Mitchell Blake and Danny O’Shea.
Our friends and family have been such an important part of our journey. They’ve shared so many milestones with us and helped lead us to this perfect moment.
The Big Day
Walking down the aisle to Love Story by Taylor Swift felt like stepping into a dream. My dad, Mark, gave me away, and our little boy walked just ahead of me with my sister - it was a moment I’ll never forget. The Scintillo String Quartet played throughout the ceremony, reception drinks and wedding breakfast, adding such an elegant, timeless feel to the day. Our photographer, John Thompson from Pure Image Photography captured everything beautifully, from the quiet, intimate moments to the big, laughter-filled celebrations. I couldn’t have imagined better memories.
It felt amazing to be surrounded by people who have been with us through so much of our lives. Seeing everyone laughing, dancing, and celebrating with us - especially our closest friends and family - made the day feel so full of love.
There were so many little moments that made the day feel so alive. The funniest was when our little boy accidentally slammed his head on the table right in the middle of Callum’s speech, just after he said, ‘To my amazing wife’. Everyone was laughing, and honestly, so was I! Moments like that reminded me to take a deep breath and enjoy the imperfect, real and unforgettable bits of our wedding day.
Our wedding was everything I had dreamed of - romantic, joyful, and full of laughter. I couldn’t have imagined a better day to start this next chapter of our lives together.”
Hollie’s advice for brides-to-Be
“Try to be as relaxed as possible - it all falls into place. As long as you get to marry the love of your life, nothing else matters! Also, try and spend a few moments taking in all the atmosphere and make sure you have lots of moments with just the two of you.”
