A social
day and evening out with my wife at one of our really favourite venues
Stoke Park, We were delighted
to have been given the suite which was in the film Bridget Jones's Diary.
A really stunning room with balcony over
looking the Golf Course. The bathroom is huge and is very grand with its
Italian marble. Dinner in the fine dining
restaurant is truly amazing, the chef, Chris Wheeler, produced some amazing
food. The staff at this venue are truly
professional, the standard of service is amazing. You should really look
at this venue, call and make an appointment
mention my name when viewing you will not be disappointed

A recent hotel in the last 12
months is The Hilton in Drake Way, Reading.
This venue was chosen by
The
Lady Taverners to hold their Diamond Gala Ball. We had a lovely evening
and help raise over
£30.000 for the charity. The hotel will shortly be looking into
holding weddings so a possible place
to look at in the future.

Apologies to all those who follow

on this page.
19th June I was officiating at a local venue in Burgetts
Green the Berkshire Agricultural College, a little known venue
but well worth a look standard of food and service were of a high standard.
and a delightful venue. Hope to be returning
to this venue again soon.
9th July saw me back at another local venue Eashampstead

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.

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.

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.

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

to discuss my role as a
Professional Toastmaster. The venue holds many weddings for American,
Irish, British, and Italian
Bride & Grooms. I
