Supplier-OKE!

A few weeks ago (in fact it was at the end of April) you may remember I posted about a secret project CLICK HERE

Well I can finally reveal our Supplier-OKE!

Supplier-Oke comes from Marry-Oke which comes from Karaoke – you’ll get the idea once you’ve viewed it.

The “stars” are all members of a wedding suppliers networking group that I’ve been part of for over a year now run by the amazing Marie from Isabella Weddings. The film was made by the very talented Matthew Willshire of Teardrop Films who makes brilliant Wedding films and Marry-Oke.

See below for a list of the suppliers involved with lickable clinks (clickable links) to their website.

If you’d like help finding any suppliers for your big day please ask me – I have some amazing friends who would love to help you.

Cago Cottage

Cago 1

A few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting Sam from Cago Cottage in Sway, Marie from Isabella Weddings introduced us at the Finest Marquee Hire open day. Since then I’ve visited the Cottage a few times and it really is a lovely place ~ and it’s available for wedding bookings with a really unique twist.

Cago Cottage is a beautiful 300 year old thatched cottage near Sway in the heart of the New Forest with 4 double bedrooms and is set in 2 acres of land. Basically this can become a blank canvas for you to create a truly unique, bespoke wedding day. Here’s the entry for Cago on the Hitched wedding site

A 300 year old cob wall thatched cottage with light oak exposed beams everywhere. Situated right next to the New forest, a beautiful old place (with full mod cons) which provides so much peace but at the same time offers so much fun for all to have – with the many sporting facilities in the vast grounds. Have the wedding day you truly wish for in a unique venue that is all yours, not just for the day but for the whole week of your wedding.

The cottage is without close neighbours so evening party music is not a problem. There is ample space for large marquees with up to 150 guests for a sit down meal, with lots of other facilities to have fun including boule / floodlit tennis / 5-a-side football pitch / snooker room and a massive tree house for kids to explore…! The cottage has 4 double bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, a large kitchen with a huge pine table that can sit 10/12 people. One bedroom and large family bathroom is downstairs (useful for an elderly couple…). Large BBQ outside with a huge outdoor dining table so you can enjoy the outdoor life as well. Plenty of parking for all cars in the adjoining field.
