Who we recommend
We will only ever recommend the best Wedding and Event suppliers from across the country on our friends page.
The following businesses are ones we have personally worked with and trust implicitly to add something extra to your Wedding or Event.
Do you earn commission from recommending other suppliers
We NEVER work on any commission based agreements with these businesses or any other.
Their inclusion on our site is purely down to having 100% confidence that we are able to recommend companies who will compliment our services and add a little something special to any occasion.
Quality comes first
This is far more important to us than any commission another business has to offer us.
Wedding Bands
Three Mile Hill Band
Modestly listing themselves as a three piece covers band with a bit of a folky twist, Three Mile Hill are so much more than that.
We consider them the Best Wedding Band in Essex. Period.
With their vibrant personalities and natural stage presence we have personally seen them turn a Sunday afternoon Wedding Fair into a hand clapping, foot stomping celebration of fine music.
It doesn’t take much to imagine them at a your Wedding Day, private party of corporate event.
Whether its a Traditional Wedding, a Festival Themed Wedding, Boho Style Wedding, Barn Wedding our Outdoor Wedding, we highly recommend booking Three Mile Hill alongside our Wedding DJ in order to ensure your Wedding Day goes off with a bang.
Anna Dee
Anna Dee is an outstanding Essex based solo artist, who can be booked for any type of event.
A talented vocalist who can provide an ambient acoustic set to accompany an afternoon / evening cocktail hour, or throughout your wedding breakfast.
If you’d prefer things a little more uptempo however, Anna Dee on vocals and virtuoso guitarist Luke Tarrant come together and form “The Duover” – A high energy and exciting duo, with a plethora of original songs and covers to keep your guests entertained throughout the evening.
Check out a video of Anna HERE and find her HERE

Scott Hammond Photography
Fox and Braces are proud to recommend Scott Hammond Photography for your Essex Wedding Reception.
With an extensive background in Hi-Resolution landscape photography, Scott has the ability to capture moments from angles that your typical Wedding photographer would miss.
Scott produces some of the most stunning wedding photography we have seen, many of which, can be found on this site.
Capturing shots from a distance is one thing. But with a warm personality and the ability to mingle with guests throughout the day, Scott is just as comfortable getting up close and personal getting those intimate shots that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Olegs Samsonovs
What can we say about Olegs… ?
Olegs is the man.
A chance encounter with Olegs back in 2017 lead to the profile picture that has become synonymous with Fox and Braces.
We never fully understood the value of a talented photographer until we met Olegs.
His enthusiasm and amazing personality opened our eyes (literally) to the value of stunning photography and we have never looked back.
Simon Hawkins Photography
A brilliant Kent based photographer with years of experience and a master at his craft.
Not only is Simon a technically gifted photographer, but he is also an amazing individual to work with, a true gent.
His personable style and character allows him to make guests feel at ease, enabling him to capture some stunning moments that may otherwise have been missed.
Anna Southgate Photography
An Essex based photographer with unrivalled style and and penchant for natural honest images.
Anna is what we would describe as an old school photographer, opting for natural photography over posed, pre planned images, often resulting in spectacular but understated images.
Take a look on our DJ page and see her images of our DJ Gary, to get a feel for her simplistic but impeccable style.
More Than Words Photography
A hugely talented Essex based photographer.
Tracy’s vibrant personality and passion for her work have made it a pleasure to work with her on previous events.
Capturing brilliant and modern shots from every angle and providing some absolutely breathtaking pictures in the process.
Michael Partridge Photography
An exciting and fresh Essex based photographer with a flair for capturing excpetional images.
Having known Michael for years prior to taking his photogrpahy to the next level, we can vouch for his creditibility, passion and determination to succeed at everything he puts his mind to.
Lucky for you, it just so happens that since 2016 Michael has been quietly producing some of the best images across Essex and is now a sought after talent and well respected professional in the photography world.
Day & Knight Photography
We met James (Day) at a recent Wedding and instantly hit it off.
One half of Day & Knight photography (the other being Emily Day). James is an outstanding photographer with an extremely likeable personality and style for days.
Put it this way …. If Fox and Braces did Photographers … Day & Knight photography are probably what it would look like !!!
