If it's good enough for Charli xcx's wedding party, it's good enough for us.
After Charli xcx and George Daniel threw their wedding party at Ellie’s bar on Saturday, everyone from your mum to The Sun is wondering why music’s hottest couple chose the intimate East London spot to continue the festivities.
