What is your most memorable wedding?
Jenny - During my time at South Lodge Hotel, I ran the wedding of the senior wedding coordinator. It was on the same day as William and Kate and although I'd run hundreds of weddings before, I needed to get this right for obvious reasons professionally, not to mention that personally we'd become good friends too (no pressure!) Thankfully the day went very well and the B&G and their guests really enjoyed themselves.
Tina - My most challenging and memorable wedding to date has been with a couple on a very tight budget of £1000. It required a lot of creative thinking, DIY and favours from industry friends. The day itself was beautiful, relaxed and fun!

Describe your typical process with a couple.
We like to sit down with a couple and get to know them, their likes and dislikes and ask them a large set of questions covering all aspects of the wedding - including wants, absolute must-haves and of course budgets - only then will we set about proposing the services we deem appropriate for each couple's special day.
