Accommodation - The family cottages website can be found at www.cridfordcottages.co.uk for superb self catering accommodation, with the Cridford Inn opposite if you really don't want to be bothered cooking. 

My daughters inn for receptions, bed and breakfast and stunningly good food can be viewed at www.vanillapod-cridfordinn.com

Saw this band at the Real Brides show.  They were fantastic, so if you need a band for your wedding, or indeed any occasion then go to www.limitedcompanyband.co.uk you'll not regret it.

We don't do hats but if we did they would be nearly as good as Marie-Anne's hats at www.hats2go.co.uk

Loos.  Now that may seem a strange thing to consider when thinking about weddings.  But with the new craze for having weddings outdoors (usually in Marquees - this is not California) do you want hundreds of people tripping through the house to the toilet.  Posh hire specialise in very posh loos indeed.  Go to www.poshhire.co.uk 

Now we have had our photos taken at weddings.  And many of us still have a look at them if only for a chuckle at what the last 40 years have done (ours have gone sepia so it looks even older).  However how nice would it have been to have had a video of the event (they didn't have them when we got married - and yes cameras had been invented), either instead of, or as well as the photo's.  If you want to be tempted into additional coverage of the wedding go to www.wedding-videos-devon.co.uk

Whilst we have exceptional cars of real British quality there are those who crave the more unusual.  Hollywood Limos do the stretched limos and even a Ferrari for the groom to ride to the church in.  Have a look at www.limohireuk.co.uk

For those who crave something unusual as a treat at the wedding and want something old but also new, why not try an ice cream purveying bicycle (and attendant of course).  Traditional bicycle and traditionally dressed staff.  www.icicletricycle.co.uk

Doing it yourself, or getting the caterers in and need furniture, china, cutlery - well you know all the bits including portable fridges try www.southwesteventhire.co.uk

(they also have other companies www.downersdishhire.co.uk and www.hitchafridge.co.uk)

Elegance is often an accompaniment to a wedding.  There are few instruments to rival a harp when at the ceremony, sitting at dinner or dancing in the evening.  If a harp sounds like music to your ears then you could do no better than to talk to Susan Sherratt.  You can phone her on 01598 711810 or email her at suetheharpist@btinternet.com

Although this supplier is considerably outside our area the owner is a friend of ours and sells absolutely stunning bridal gowns at amazing prices.  Also bridesmaids, mother of the bride and of course attire for the chaps.  So if you are in Birmingham and want to pop in and see the fantastic gowns on offer or browse the website it's well worth a look.  http://www.weddingbellesbridal.co.uk/xnet/

There was a tradition at one time of celebrating the joining together of two people in love by releasing a pair of doves at the time of the marriage.  Whilst this tradition fell into disuse in recent years the tradition is now being revived and demonstrates to the assembled wedding party that the two hearts have been joined together (all say AAAHHH - I didn't write that line).  If you want to have a look and see how this would work visit www.icedovecotes.co.uk for an explanation.  We will be happy to make the arrangements for you.  Let us know and we can get costs for you.

An old friend of the family is a professional event planner so if you want a really cracking event that's a bit different try Katie Austen at http://www.angelweddingandeventplanning.co.uk/
