June/July 2025 |
| |
Now, it’s quite the milestone year for me for two reasons: I’m reaching the big 4.0 and I’ve been working in the world of weddings for 20 years! Wow – where has that time gone?
Luckily for me, I still love my job and the industry, it’s a close-knit community that support and champion each other. It’s an important role, being a part of someone’s wedding day, and there’s not a supplier I haven’t met that doesn’t value, respect and enjoy being involved in a couple’s nuptials.
From the cake maker that has lovingly spent hours icing the perfect petals onto each tier, to the stationery designer that has hand-drawn the venue for your invites; the DJ that’s spent late nights planning the perfect playlist for you, to the seamstress that’s painstakingly hand-sewn pearls onto your veil – local suppliers really do go above and beyond for every wedding, every couple, because they simply love what they do and know how important it is to you both.
Because of this passion, I still get excited every issue about the different things I come across, a new favour idea, a real wedding couple doing things differently, or an unusual first dance song, I still love it all – and I’m still surprised by couples, suppliers and love, all know no bounds.
Here’s to another 20 years, hip hip hooray!
Happy reading.

Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort
Crow Wood Hotel offers a picturesque setting for weddings, nestled within 40 acres of private parkland. The beautifully landscaped gardens and stunning views of Pendle Hill provide a romantic backdrop. The outdoor Wedding Pavilion creates an idyllic atmosphere for your special day. The gardens and grounds consist of beautiful lawns stretched out beside a tranquil ornamental lake, with mature trees and vibrant flower beds adding colour and charm. It feels secluded, peaceful, and effortlessly romantic, the perfect spot to host a ceremony or drinks reception.
Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort holds a civil ceremony licence, enabling couples to host both their wedding ceremony and reception on-site. The interior blends modern luxury with romantic charm – ideal for weddings! Elegant suites, chic neutral décor, and soft lighting create a timeless aesthetic, while the grand function rooms feature statement chandeliers and sweeping views.
The elegantly decorated Lakeside Suite is a spacious venue with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of the lake and landscaped gardens. The suite accommodates up to 320 guests seated and provides direct access to a terrace overlooking the lake, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor festivities – it can host 400 standing for the evening reception.
Couples can enjoy a specially arranged menu tasting evening – an indulgent opportunity to refine their wedding menu, joined by up to four guests. For a truly memorable build-up to the big day, a ‘night prior’package is also available, including spa access for up to eight people the night before; the serene spa and stylish bridal suites add indulgent touches for couples tying the knot here. As a thoughtful finishing touch, Crow Wood Hotel invites newlyweds to return and celebrate their first anniversary with a preferential stay rate.
