Wedding Industry Awards

The regional finalists have just been announced for the Wedding Industry Awards 2014. There are a variety of catagories, covering all the suppliers you might need for your wedding in Hertfordshire. The finals are being held at The Bloomsbury Ballroom in January next year.

Now the great thing about these awards is that they are voted for by clients. Your clients have to go online and comment on the service you provided for their wedding in Essex.
I always like to focus on suppliers and the winner if 'The Best Live Act' in the East of England was Essex wedding band, One Foot in the Groove.

As a wedding band in Essex they have focused for the last ten years on providing an exceptional service to their couples. Not only do they play great songs well, they gaurantee a great time at your wedding. They also offer outstanding customer service, carefully planning the live music for your wedding not just booking you a band.

This is what one of my clients last year had to say about the wedding music duo in Essex.

"..Thank you for all your patience with us with choosing the music in the first instance and for your support and guidance... You we so right in saying to chose what was special to us as we have wonderful memories and our friends and family have all commented on the beautiful sound of your voice in the Keep at Heddingham and for performing all through the wedding breakfast.
We had a fantastic day surrounded by family and friends and we include you in that as you were so much part of our day...  We smile every time we think about our wedding and cannot thank you enough for adding to the magic of our perfect day."

With love from Laura and Theo

Supplier Focus, Vicarage Marquee's

I can honestly say I love a marquee wedding. For a wedding planner in Essex they can involve a lot of work and planning but you have a totally blank canvas.
I have worked with lots of marquee companies over the years but Vicarage Marquee's is one of the best. A few years ago wedding band in Essex, One Foot in the Groove were asked by the owner, John to play for his wedding. Of course the marquee was fabulous, we had an area just off to the side of the main dining area with a stage, great lighting a black and white dance floor. We created a real party vibe for all of the guests.
Since  John and Emma got married I have worked with Vicarge Marquee's on several occasions, in fact I hired John to provide one of my clients whose wedding I planned last Summer with a marquee for their renewal of vows and 40th birthday party.
The best thing about working with experts in their field is the fact that you can totally rely on them to provide you with exactly what they have promised. I know John will do everything he can to make my event great. When you come to hire a marquee company you need to ask them several questions. Firstly can they advise you on the size and the siting of your marquee? DO they have a MUTAmarq? What sort of floors do they have ? very important if you are putting your marquee on an uneven field. Ask them if they can provide you with tables, chairs, bars, lighting and dance floors. Vicarge Marquee's have all this and more. Whatever you need they will be able to supply it. John will also draw you a plan and what they call a CAD drawing, a 3d drawing of how they marquee will look with all the tables laid out.

If yuo are looking for a fabulous marquee company in Essex then look no further than Vicarage Marquee's

The Bridal Experience

On Sunday I shall be putting on my music hat and providing some gorgeous live music for a select group of brides to be at The Ivy Hill in Margaretting. This is an invitation only event organised by The Essex Events Company.

As a professional musician in Essex as well as a full time wedding planner in Essex I have been asked to provide two different options suitable for a cermeony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast. We are having a solo saxophone for the drinks reception as the brides arrive, followed by an acoustic set, with Essex acoustic duo, Acoustic Grooves part of wedding band, One Foot in the Groove.

Unlike a wedding fayre, this event is invite only and the brides will get a chance to really chat to suppliers, listen to talks about make up and hair and get some ideas about planning their wedding. The whole event is a great idea and much more intimate than your traditional wedding fayre. I'm looking forward to meeting some suppliers that I haven't worked with previously and of course meeting some lovely brides to be.

The Bridal Experience

For any brides in the Essex or Hertfordshire area that would like to come along to the Bridal expereince do get in touch. This is going to be a lovely afternoon where you can meet suppliers, listen to talks about wedding planning in Essex and listen to some great live music from Essex wedding band, One Foot in the Groove.

It is an invitation only event, it is not a wedding fayre, but a chance for brides to enjoy a little pampering, enjoy afternoon tea and chat one to one with some hand picked wedding suppliers in Essex.

Essex Wedding Band shortlisted for Awards

You may or may not know but my involement in the wedding industry started ten years ago when I launched my wedding band in Essex, One Foot in the Groove. Over the years we have literally played at hundreds of weddings and have built up an enviable reputation. Whilst I continue to work closely with my brides on all aspects of their wedding planning I also continue to run and sing with the band.

All of this expert knowledge on the industry I bring to all of my couples when planning their big day. I'm delighted to say this year Essex wedding band One Foot in the Groove have been shortlisted for The Wedding Industry Awards 2013, the second year in a row and we are finalists in The Essex Wedding Awards 2012. Fingers crossed that the band win an award for all of their hard work in providing fantastic live music week in and week out across the South East.

Essex Wedding Awards

The inaugural Essex Wedding Awards are being held at The Crown Plaza Resort 5 Lakes on November 29th. This is the very first time suppliers in Essex have been recognised for their hard work. As a wedding planner in Essex I am very excited to see who has been honoured for all of their hard work and I am very interested to see if Essex wedding band, One Foot in the Groove are winners.
Foe those of you that don't know, I manage the band and have done for the last nine years and in that time they have gone from strength to strength.
Last year they were shortlisted for The Wedding Industry awards. The only live band in the East of England to make it on the shortlist and they have been nominated again this year. They also won The Wedding Experts Award 2012. It really has been a brilliant year for them. Fingers crossed for the 29th November.
