On Tuesday the 22^nd of September the UKAWP held its first Northern Networking event at the gorgeous Nunsmere Hall Hotel. The alliance’s Northern Representative – Andrea Swift, hosted the evening.

Andrea was joined by other colleagues from the UKAWP, as well as some planners who had recently attended our training courses or were planning to attend in the near future as well as local established planners who wanted to find out more about the Alliance.

A great time was had by all, with everyone getting chance to chat, mingle and exchange business cards and ideas.

Wendy Grove from Boda Bridal was also present, giving planners the opportunity to pick her brains about the current trends in wedding gowns. Attendees were also treated to some delicious cup cakes courtesy of Leanne from Bake me –I’m yours

We have had a great response from those that attended – here are a few of the comments from the event: –
