Just spent a long but worthwhile day at the Belfry for a wedding fayre. We love meeting brides (and the grooms, but to be honest the majority of the guys look like rabbits in the headlamps…), and we had some really good conversations with plenty of lovely brides today from across the West Midlands, getting married at venues like Nuthurst Grange, Moxhull, Ettington Park, the new Midlands wedding venue Hampton Manor, and Rowton Castle. We have booked in a load of meetings, and will be dropping a load more couples a line in the coming days, and I am really looking forward to being at some of their weddings.
It is also a good chance to catch up with friends in the business, and to meet new suppliers, like Ben, the Cake Man, who had a massive crowd around his stunning cakes.
We had Joe with us for the day – at only 5 months old he is still a bit small to be away from Kat for such a long day, and he was so good. He did draw in the crowd, but having done that he then distracted attention from my albums to his cute smile, so I am not sure if he was the best marketing aid!
If you met us today (or even if you didn’t get to speak to us) become a fan of James Crockford Photography on Facebook to see all our latest updates.
Alrewas Hayes -A new West Midlands Wedding Venue
I love networking – it took me a while to get the hang of it, but now I enjoy the way that you get to meet a real variety of interesting people, and make connections you might have otherwise missed. A while ago I was talking to James from South Farm in Cambridge, and he mentioned Bonnie and Toby at Alrewas Hayes, and that I should meet them. South Farm is a venue that I have been to a few times for non-wedding events, and it is a very successful and well run wedding venue, and James had been talking to Bonnie and Toby as they developed their own wedding venue.
Alrewas Hayes is tucked away in a peaceful spot not far from the A38 to the north of Birmingham and Lichfield, and they have a really lovely venue. I was genuinely impressed with how well they had renovated it, and would highly recommend anyone looking for an interesting wedding venue in the west midlands to go and have a look and meet Bonnie and Toby. It is one of those flexible venues that can give you a small and intimate wedding, or a quite simply a huge party.
I am really looking forward to working with them in the future on weddings and big events, and if you are looking for somewhere different for a wedding, give them a ring and see Alrewas Hayes.
