Graham Hunt Toastmaster
When a wedding is planned, the first consideration is the date. Following this the Bride and Bridegroom select the style of wedding, i.e. religious or Civil, the venue and estimate the number of guests attending.
What is then needed is sound consultation with an experienced professional toastmaster. The true professional is someone who has been properly trained and tested and who knows all the correct procedures, etiquette and protocols to present as a GUIDE for the Bride and Bridegroom to consider. He is aware of many pitfalls and of ways to avoid them. It is so very important that the special day proceeds smoothly, memorably and in style..
The toastmaster listens to what is required and tailors his services to those requirements planning his schedule accordingly. On the day he is the person in control of the wedding reception from the arrival of the Bridal Party until a time agreed by them to conclude his work. It is very important the he liaises with the Banqueting manager/caterer, the photographer and any other wedding service providers. READ MORE---

Without a doubt, chair covers are one of the easiest and most cost effective ways of tranforming your venue to suit your own taste and individuality.
They serve many purposes from covering unsightly chairs to neutralising your venue decor to enable you to build your own co-ordinated colour scheme, or just to bring a stronger visual impact and that all important wow factor to the room.
The colour of your table lined is often the key factor in deciding whether to have a white or ivory chair cover before building your accent colours on top with the use ofchair cover accessories, such as sashes, tassles,drape hoods,buckles etc. As their popularity has increased so have the range of choices available, with the use of different materials, styles and matching table linens they guarantee your venue is dressed as beautiful as you and your guests.

I helped a bride and groom last year who had their heart set on a hotel they had seen on Phi Phi Island, off the coast of Thailand. The hotel they wanted was outside of their budget BUT I discovered that THE BEST SPA HOTEL ON THE ISLAND had a limited time special offer price and I got them a much better room at this higher star hotel for less money, and within their budget.

Your Dream day - At the location of your dreams
Many Brides to be have dreamt of their special day from the age of 11 onwards. More & more brides are choosing to celebrate their marriage at home in their gardens or in the grounds of a stately home.
More and more stunning sites are being transformed into possible venues for weddings.
One of the most important things to research is the provider of your marquee and the equipment needed for the big day.
Here are some useful tips to help you select your marquee
1 There is two main styles of marquee. Traditional and Clearspan. Traditional has a high roof supported by polesand the interior linings give a dramatic luxurious look and feel to the interior of the marquee and the guy ropes give a solid traditional stature. A Clearspan may not be as asthetically pleasing to the eye from the outside, but internally it can look just as stunning as a traditional. Clearspan can often be used where traditional marquees will not work. No allowance needs to be made for ropes around the outside and they can even be situated on hard standing. READ MORE--
