Wow! What an amazing wedding! Looking back on my first tipi wedding back in 2016 at a lovely rural location in Norfolk, College Farm. The day was just wonderful, with stunning weather, some amazing food and entertainment. The location was excellent; the lovely owner was more than hospitable and was a great help to me on the day, too. The farm has horses, rare-breed sheep, alpacas and llamas, which made for some quirky photographs as the sun began to set.

At the tail end of last year, I began working with a lovely couple from London who had their hearts set on hosting their wedding day at Voewood. Voewood is a stunning dry hire venue in Norfolk. With bags of personality and accommodation for 40-something guests, it is perfect for creating a weekend-long wedding celebration. Being a dry hire venue (and a listed property at that), every single element of the wedding needs considering and planning perfectly. Luckily, I have planned many weddings at Voewood, so I know how this venue works and what its little foibles are. It is so unique, and every wedding there is different; it is always a joy to work there.

Earlier in May, I was privileged enough to be asked to organise a Vow Renewal and 60th Birthday Party for two clients. Having been married in an intimate wedding ceremony abroad some 13 years previously, they decided they would use this opportunity to bring all their friends together, celebrate a 60th birthday and reaffirm their vows. Using their beautiful country farm as the venue for their celebration, I set to work arranging everything they would need. The brief was quite simple; it had to have amazing food and be very classic.
