“It’s all going to be fine...”

I love my few minutes with the groom before a ceremony, just to offer reassurance, calm any nerves and make sure he has tissues in his pocket...

It's probably the single biggest decision, and very possibly the biggest chunk of your wedding budget, so why settle for poor quality?

I've worked at dozens of wedding venues of all shapes and sizes around the north west: some fancy-shmancy manor houses; dedicated wedding venues; small hotels, and tipis in a field or next to a pub. All of them do their thing brilliantly but one or two miss the mark.

Quality wedding venues don't...

❌Mess up the music leaving the bride to walk down the aisle in silence, and then blaming her afterwards for being too picky... (unforgiveable)

❌Have an on-the-day co-ordinator who has zero contact with the couple until the wedding day (a recipe for disaster...)

❌Have snooty staff (if they're snooty with me, what will they be like with you and your guests?)

❌Allow bar staff to walk away and leave guests standing at the bar waiting to be served...

❌Have on-the-day co-ordinators who complain about their own stress and that the ceremony is too short so they don't have time to prepare Pimms for the guests

❌Publicise an unmonitored email address so your messages go unanswered until your ring someone (just check that address please, or delete it...)

❌Ignore simple requests which were briefed in advance (so either they ignored the request or their attention to detail is poor - neither is a good look...)

❌And one that's really beyond belief... attempting to charge for a glass of tap water on a hot day...

Details matter, so if you spot any of these signs, maybe walk away from that venue...

Venues which I know and trust NEVER commit any of these misdemeanours and I can heartily recommend with absolute confidence:

I promise I'm not laughing at my own joke.... Couples give me such wonderful material to work with, it's hard to keep a straight face. But then again, couples who work with me are looking for a relaxed, warm and friendly vibe, so here y'go

Thanks to the very lovely Tara for capturing this moment 🥰
