From stunning weddings across Cornwall (honestly, some of the venues down here are breathtaking, made even more spectacular by this incredible weather) to large-scale events like Glastonbury, Park House Opera and Rock Oyster Festival, it’s been a fast-paced and exciting summer. Thank you to the caterers, planners, venues and suppliers who make it all possible alongside us.
New partnerships and perks
We’re thrilled to announce partnerships with some fantastic local companies, most notably EW Wines, whose rosé selection has been tried and tested by me, and I can say, hands down, it’s perfect for these long summer days.
And don’t forget you can still secure event hire gift vouchers from our website, available in £50 multiples, which are a simple way to help couples and clients plan the details that matter. Discover our exclusive partnership offers here.
Looking ahead to Christmas
While I’m writing this in the middle of a heatwave, we’re already planning for winter with jaw-dropping offers for Christmas and New Year’s Eve bookings not to be missed! Book early to secure what your festive events need now to unlock a serious saving with 25% off all bookings delivered between 1st December 2025 and 31st January 2026.

Wedding awards: can you help us?

We’re really proud to say we have been nominated in the Professional Services category at the South West Wedding Awards 2025. These awards mean a lot to us because they’re not decided by judges behind closed doors; they’re based on votes and kind words from the couples we’ve actually worked with.
If we played even a small part in helping make your wedding day, or that of your clients, run smoothly between January 2023 and 14th September 2025, we’d absolutely love it if you’d consider voting for us. Here’s how you can vote for us.
Here’s to the rest of 2025
Before we sign off, it’s been great to catch up with our clients and hear how successful their season has been so far. Thank you for trusting us with so many brilliant jobs.
As always, if there’s anything you need, from bookings next year to last-minute items for upcoming events, reach out to the team, and don’t forget our Price Beat Guarantee: if you find like-for-like items in stock elsewhere at a lower price, we won’t just match it, we’ll beat it – put us to the test!
