Another busy week for this award winning DJ

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s been another busy week.

Last Saturday it was Alex and Hannah’s wedding (as mentioned in the previous blog post) at Norton Park I arrived just after 10am to set up and left at 2am on Sunday morning- 16 hours onsite and I loved every minute (except when one of my flight case lids slammed down on my thumb – but I didn’t break anything!).

Another busy week for award winning dj

On Sunday we went to see Ricky Gervais at the Mayflower. It was a very good show, we hadn’t seen him live before and he really didn’t disappoint. Before the show we were delighted to bump into Rachel and Ed who got married last year at Ampfield Golf Club, it was lovely to catch up with them. (In other news this week the Hampshire Wedding Group confirmed their next wedding fair at Ampfield will be on Sunday 1st October – full details to follow).

Monday it was time to ‘sharpen the sword’ with some more training. This time it was off to Reading for the day with 16 of my colleagues. It was good to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. It’s just a shame more DJ’s don’t take advantage of these opportunities – if YOU are a DJ reading this and want help to find good training please email me.

Hampshire DJ of the year

Tuesday afternoon I visited one of my couples to talk about their plans for their forthcoming wedding at the beautiful Master Builder’s Hotel at Bucklers Hard. In the evening it was a social catch up with some of my friends from Toast Masters International.

Wednesday I had a catch up with one of my local advertising contacts and talk about some future campaigns and competitions. You can see the online version of this weeks Hampshire Independent CLICK HERE you’ll see I have an advert in there this week.

Yesterday, Thursday, I went to a wedding ceremony rehearsal in preparation for next Saturday’s wedding – I’m so excited, it’s going to be wonderful. I had to stop on the way home and act like a tourist to take this photo just 8 miles from home!

There’s been plenty more going on that I won’t bore you with, I just wanted to give you a flavour of my week.

Don’t forget my Creating Your WOW Wedding evening on Thursday 6th July!

Coming up … another busy week, because that’s the brilliant life I have 😀

Stunning venue decor by Tie The Knot at Norton Park

/0 Comments/in /by

Last Saturday was Alex and Hannah’s wedding at the fabulous Norton Park. I’ve been fortunate to be involved at several weddings there and it’s a beautiful setting. Hannah had asked me to recommend a venue stylist and I had no hesitation in suggesting, fellow Hampshire Wedding Group member, Suzanne from Tie The Knot Events.

When I arrived onsite just after 10am I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the Barn, where their wedding breakfast was to be held, looked. Please remember, I see fabulous rooms beautiful decorated all the time, so when I say I was “blown away” we are talking about something exceptional!

Hannah’s colour scheme was based around lilac and champagne and the effect Suzanne had created with florist Judy was absolutely stunning.

As you can see from my snaps the tables had lilac table covers with gorgeous centrepieces which were complimented by more flowers wrapped around the barns beams which were also highlighted with fairly lights.

The evening party was held in the Norton Suite where the tables and chairs were covered in black with white table cloths and champagne coloured runners. Suzanne had also added more fairy lights and Chinese Lanterns above the dance floor.  The centre pieces were moved from the barn to finish the tables. I hope to post more about this beautiful wedding in the future so please stay tuned.

This wedding was held on one of the hottest days of the year, possibly the hottest day I’ve every worked, the barn is air-conditioned which obviously helped but the decorations still looked amazing, even after the celebrations had ended and and everyone had gone to bed.

I was so pleased I recommended Suzanne to Hannah and Alex, she really brought Hannah’s dream to life.

I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside Suzanne on many occasions and I can honestly say her attention to detail is second to none. She was onsite at Norton Park on the Friday and Saturday putting this all together and then again on the Sunday to take everything out – it takes a lot of work and planning to bring something like this together.

I was also delighted to recommend SpeedyPix to provide a Photo Booth for Alex and Hannah’s evening reception and they took lots of great pictures and created an amazing guest book.
