Wow, wedding season really is in full swing now - Bank Holidays? What Bank Holidays? We've had a great week, from fun-filled 'Girls Night In' wedding planning sessions, to venue searches and decoration proposals, interspersed with some wonderful one-to-ones with our Mentoring Programme members.

Not only that, we've also uncovered a couple of real gems that I just have to share with you. If knowing about either of these suppliers makes just one couple stress a little bit less during their wedding planning, then I'll be happy!

If you're looking for a special place to get married and hold your reception in a spectacular part of Northern Ireland, or simply want somewhere beautiful to stop for wedding photos after a church ceremony, look no further. Not only is Glendarragh House completely stunning, it's only 5 minutes from the City of Derry and, better still, it's owned and run by a very dear friend of a friend who doesn't give out recommendations easily. I know the glowing report I've had is thoroughly deserved and I urge you to contact them for one of their beautiful brochures which perfectly showcases this hidden gem.

If hunting for the perfect wedding dress is getting you down or you simply want to try on a few more before making your decision, check out Tickled Pink. Based in Maidenhead and with a private showroom that is open by appointment only, Debbie offers a very personal and attentive service. At the moment she has some wedding dresses in stock that are ridiculously affordable, and they're not all on her website so do feel free to call if you're looking for something in particular or just want a chat with someone who's friendly, professional and passionate about what she does.

We're excited about running another Wedding Planners Master Class Course tomorrow in London and meeting 7 more people who are considering a new career as wedding planners. If you're interested in finding out more about this fabulous career, what it takes to be successful and how to avoid the pitfalls, and want to do all this in a single, information-packed day, get in touch and we'll happily talk to you about the dates we have available over the next few months. What's more, you won't have to spend a fortune to gain the inspiration and motivation that has driven many of our Master Class graduates to take their wedding planning dreams to the next level - you could be next!

Until next week, happy planning!
