Sense of Occasion

Hi, my name is Paula and I am an Independent Celebrant working in the South East of England, although I can travel to a venue outside of this area if you are absolutely sure that I am the celebrant that you want for your ceremony.

Tell me all about your love story and let me weave strands of your dreams through it and I will handcraft you a ceremony which truly lets you sparkle on your special day.

If you are looking for a wedding ceremony that truly reflects the couple you are, then you need a celebrant.
If you have the perfect spot in mind for that ceremony and it isn’t licensed, then you need a celebrant.
If you want a ceremony that mixes and shares your cultural heritage or allows you to combine your doctrines into the ceremony, then you need a celebrant.

We celebrate you as a couple, and we can do all of this because we are not providing a legally binding service (but we can also advise you on how to achieve that). We are able to bring fun, romance, originality and uniqueness to your wedding, because you deserve a day that celebrates you.

I arrive without judgement and I leave behind memories. Pop over to my website to see more.

Eddie Young Magic

Firstly, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

When you plan your big day, you want it to be remembered for years to come. Have you thought about who will keep your celebrations on track, who will do all the announcements and who is going to wow your guest on the day?

Well, that’s me your Wedding Emcee. What’s an Emcee, I hear you cry.

Think of me as your modern-day master of ceremonies. 

I welcome your guests, introduce the key stages of your day and make sure everyone’s in the right place at the right time (you don’t want Grandad missing when the photographer’s ready to roll). 

Then imagine a toastmaster who comes with a quaint brand of humour and memory-making magic

As your wedding emcee I do everything you’d expect from a traditional toastmaster but without the formality and the red tailcoat (so 80’s, don’t you think?). 

In a contemporary twist, I use comedy and magic to provide a relaxed energy that creates new friendships and brings families together.

I’ll help your day run smoothly and give everyone lots of laughs and breathtaking moments along the way.

Louise Cannon Cakes

I’m Louise, a cake designer who loves creating beautiful and delicious cakes that add the perfect sweet finish to your special day.

I love working with my couples to create the cake of their dreams, whether it’s more traditional with hand made sugar or fresh flowers to match the bouquet, or something more quirky with figures that hold special meaning for you. It’s your wedding cake and you get to choose how it looks.

But looks aren’t everything, what’s on the inside counts too and your wedding cake really should provide the perfect sweet finish to your special day.  You can have different flavours for each tier, so you can keep granny happy with a small fruit cake on the top if you need to, then the rest can be your own favourites – chocolate, vanilla, lemon, red velvet, carrot, salted caramel… the possibilities are endless and absolutely delicious!

Please take a look at my website and social pages, and do get in touch if you have any questions or would like me to create your dream cake. 

About me: 

I’ve always loved baking and decided in 2015 to learn the decorating side before setting up Louise Cannon Cakes in 2016. My specialty is sugar flowers and working with sugar paste (fondant), but I’m equally happy making semi-naked or butter cream finish cakes. 

I’m fully registered and insured, with a level 5 food hygiene rating from Swindon Borough Council.

Testimonial:

“John was our Toastmaster for my daughter’s wedding last week. From our first meeting prior to the Wedding Day he was friendly, light hearted and excited! On the day he was a true delight, helping the photographers organise guests for photos and even giving me a confidence chat when I was nervous about my speech! John was on hand throughout the day and was more than happy to complete every task and request thrown at him. I cannot recommend John enough, he will slot into your group like an old family friend and you’ll be so grateful for the worries he takes away from you to ensure your day runs smoothly. Thank you John! ”

4 Reasons Why You Should Work with a Wedding Planner

4 Reasons Why You Should Work with a Wedding Planner

4 Reasons Why You Should Work with a Wedding Planner

Planning a wedding can be a significant commitment on your time, and let’s face it, your sanity can take a hit too. Not only are you trying to create the day of your dreams, but you have to bring it in on budget and not upset either set of parents or the bridesmaids and please everyone. It is a tough challenge and something we aim to do once in our lives which is where the problem can arise. When undertaking a new task, practice and prior knowledge make things substantially more manageable, but that isn’t possible when this is your first attempt at planning a wedding, so calling in the professionals is a great way to save yourself work hours and not have to reinvent the wheel. You will also find that your stress levels are significantly lower, so let’s look at why you should work with a wedding planner.

1. Insider Knowledge

As we already mentioned, a wedding planner knows a massive amount, not only about the logistics and timings of getting everything booked but importantly doing it within your local area. This means they will know of any pitfalls to venues, problems with caterers, where to find the best dresses and more. The best part is that this information is in their heads and saves hours of Google searching. It also gives you a third party buffer, someone who is not closely related to the event, to negotiate the best deal, handle issues and complaints and understand how to deal with these companies.

2. They Bring Ideas to the Table

Although most brides have been planning their wedding since the first time they hung a pillowcase off the back of their heads (wisdom imparted to us all by Monica Gellar in Friends, and oh so true), there is always room to expand and augment your plans. Your wedding planner will have seen so many weddings and been involved in their planning that using some of their ideas can complete your goals and help create the perfect day.

3. The Voice of Reason

Weddings can bring out the best and worst in people and come with a ton of etiquette that you haven’t got time to learn. Offending people is all too easy, and it can feel like walking on eggshells. Do you pay for your bridesmaid’s dresses? What happens when the bride’s mother and the future mother-in-law come to blows over the centrepieces? When do you send invitations, and do you need save-the-date cards? Your wedding planner is also a master of diplomacy and tact and understands all the nuances of planning the big day. They can solve problems, give advice and are happy to let you rant when things go wrong.

4. Your Right Hand Man (or Woman)

A wedding planner will have scheduled their diary to ensure they have the time to help you plan, and more importantly, be there on the day to make sure things go off without a hitch. Trust us; you will feel so much better knowing they are in the background making sure the bridesmaids are making good time through hair and makeup, and the best man hasn’t lost the rings!
