6th June 2010

It's been a while since my last blog I have recently moved house, and I expect you are all aware of the
time it takes to get settled. But settled we are in our Victorian Cottage built in 1900 in Hurst Berkshire
. I
officiated at Easthampstead Park last Saturday,
always a pleasure to work at this venue. The staff always
on top form, and the chef's standard
and quality of food always a high level. Lauren and Kevin the Bride
and Groom of the day had a fantastic time, and all the guests spoke very highly of service they received.

 

March 2010

Today I have been attending Stoke Park Open Day, Stoke Poges, what a wonderful venue this is. The
staff are very friendly and the attention to detail is exceptional which you would expect from a Professional
Wedding Venue. Nothing is to much trouble with plenty of staff on hand to deal with any questions from the
potential clients . Two Bridal Suites were open to be viewed with plenty of viewing's, and with the sun
coming out full advantage was taken on the balconies looking over the lovely views across the golf course
and beyond. Michelle the Wedding Co-ordinator was kept busy talking to many clients, and on several occasions
during the day had people waiting patiently to see her. This is certainly a venue I would recommend you view but
please email or phone Michelle beforehand to arrange a suitable time.

What a delight today to attend the Wedding Fair at Saxons Barn Windsor, you will get a warm welcome
from Debbie and her team they make you feel so relaxed.. Not only the suppliers but those Bride & Grooms
that visit are greeted with a cup of tea or coffee and some of Debbie's homemade cakes and goodies.

This is a venue that is not all that well known, but its well worth a visit to see the oak beams inside. It also
has seven bedrooms , dining and lounge are so its your real home from home. Speak to Debbie when
you call and mention my name, I might get another cake when i visit again.

15th February 2010

Enquiry came in today to officiate at a Wedding in Pescara Italy, but not able to attend due to already
being booked. As mentioned before I am going to Italy later in the year to speak to a venue reference
my services this was going to be in March but due to commitments I have had to move till later in the
year I will keep you all informed.

1st February 2010

Update on the recent Wedding Fair at Easthampstead Park on Sunday 31st January 2010, around 130
brides attended during the day and my apologies if I missed talking to you. Always a pleasure to attend this
venue, and many thanks to the team in organising a wonderful day. Not only for the brides, but also for the

exhibitors. The weather was a little cold as the doors first opened, but that soon disappeared with the warm
and enthusiasm the brides brought with them.


3rd January 2010

Attended the first Wedding Fair of the year today, a very frosty start and cold. But had the opportunity
to talk to many new brides and hear about the plans they are making. Also met up with some with some
old friends in the wedding industry, and met some new ones. On talking to the venue and the end of the
day, they seemed pleased with the way the day went.



11th December 2009

Today I received an invitation to attend a venue to discuss in detail a working relationship, nothing new
about that you might ask. Well under normal circumstances that would be the case, but wait a minute
where's the venue ?. ITALY yes that right I have been asked to go to Italy to discuss my role as a
Professional Toastmaster. The venue holds many weddings for American, Irish, British, and Italian
Bride & Grooms.
I will keep you posted as to how the meeting goes in due course.

This website can be viewed on the Italian internet under www.toastmaster.it .

17th November 2009

Tonight I went to Cantley House Hotel in Wokingham, and met up with Sandra the Wedding Co-ordinator
to discuss the forthcoming Wedding Fair in January 2010. A very interesting meeting and some new ideas
being suggested by Sandra to make this fair different from last year. What will be the difference well that is
easy, come along on the day and find out for yourself. No excuse for you Grooms we would like to see you
on the day also. So make a note of the date Sunday 3rd January at Cantley Park Hotel Wokingham.

 

9th November 2009

So what's been happening since the last blog you might ask, September was a very busy month as I got married to
the lovely Linda on Friday September 4th in our local church in Hurst. The Wedding Breakfast was held opposite in
the Castle Restaurant which is a great favourite of ours, and what a great time we had. Dawn and Chef Jerome, all of
the team looked after us very well, the day was perfect in every way. Our honeymoon was in Italy and if you go to the
home page you will see the venues we visited. The service and attention to details was second to none, so if you are
thinking of going to Italy then these venues are for you. If you would like to know more about them, please give me a
ring or go direct to the website links.

You can also hold the ceremony at these venues, so please have a good look if Italy is for you. I would be delighted
to offer my services at either of the ones listed, to make your Wedding Day complete. I am back in the red coat and
travelling around officiating for many brides, and what a great time we are having.

Its wonderful to meet so many Brides, and discuss your Wedding Day with you.



23rd August 2009

Today I returned to a favorite venue of mine Easthampstead Park, always a pleasure to work at this venue. The staff are
always welcoming, and Jeanie pulls out all the stops to make certain everything goes well on your big day.
The Bride and Groom today were lovely, and many tears were seen throughout the day, all of joy of course. We had the
Soprano Bella Entertainment after the main course, these were a smash hit with all the guests.
If you want something different view them on my Preferred Supplier Page.

22nd August 2009

I worked in a new private venue in Cookham today, only the second wedding they have undertaken and its certain to be a hit
with all those brides that will be fortunate enough to book it. Excellent Grounds next to the river, the staff are extremely helpful
and the standard of food is high . First time I met up with Photographer Neil James and what a pleasure a true
professional, and a pleasure to work with hope to see you again soon Neil. You can go direct to Neil's site from my Preferred
Suppliers Page.
I look forward to working at this venue again in the near future.

22nd July 2009

I met up with Toastmaster Geoff Cornwell at Stoke Place Hotel, Stoke Poges this evening., Geoff is going to officiate for me
at this venue. As this is going to be Geoff's first time here I took time out to show him around and to meet
the staff.. Geoff is a Professional and well established toastmaster, and I have no hesitation in passing work onto him..
