Today we want to remind you about our wedding planners Mix and Mingle nights on 19 and 20 October in various stunning locations across the UK.  It’s a perfect opportunity for new and not so new planners to get together at the end of the season, compare notes and tips, let off steam and be the ones hosted at the party for a change! Our UKAWP members always love our social evenings but our events are open to non-members too and also to recent students of UKAWP who may not have launched their business but are on the way.

I’m going to tell you a little bit about some of the venues who have very kindly agreed to host us for these special evenings.  At each venue you will have a chance to look around their space for weddings and meet their teams.

London on 20 October is hosted by BMA House
