You and Your Wedding magazine at WPE

Monday, January 18th, 2010

We’re really delighted that we’ll be joined by the lovely Vanessa Mason (née Gore) at WPE ‘10. Vanessa is Style Editor at key bridal title You and Your Wedding and is a creative genius whose job on a daily basis is to come up with and style the beautiful ‘Receptions’ sections that grace the pages of the magazine. She’s a trend setter with a great creative eye and we are very much looking forward to hearing from her on trends in design for 2010.

She will also cover how we planners can work best with editors such as herself to get maximum press exposure for our businesses. What she is looking for, what’s the best way of working etc etc. It’s sure to be unmissable.

For more information on this and other subject speakers go to WPE . We hope to see you at the seminar.

Dates for the Diary

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

We’re delighted to announce the dates for WPE 10 (Wedding Planning Excellence), our annual seminar for established trading wedding planners. So, planners, do put the dates of Friday 26 and Saturday 27 February 2010 into your diaries. We have managed to secure the beautiful country retreat of  Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire for the event which promises to be even bigger and better than last year’s (and a little longer being over the two full days this time).

 

Speakers are currently being recruited, the programme compiled and a dedicated event blog developed, all of which will be available by early September. Bookings will be taken soon and we are offering early bird discounts for booking before the end of September, so watch this space for further information and booking details.

 

We are very excited about the programme and look forward to an intense, informative and action-packed two day event again.
