So this month’s issue is focused on ‘small and more intimate gatherings’ in light of the governments recommendation of weddings up to 30 people for the ceremony and reception – what does this mean in reality? Well it just means careful planning, which is why I have brought you The Small Wedding Collective. A collection of wedding suppliers who are able to offer you everything you might want for a smaller and more intimate wedding. Find them in our brand new directory at the back of the book. Check out Ashridge House, Rothamsted Manor and The Old School for in depth features this month; venue’s which elaborate on how they can cater for smaller ceremonies. The point is you will still be able to have a fantastically fun, sweet, emotional wedding this year (and next) and break out on the dance floor with a huge gathering when covid-19 is over. The Virtual Wedding Co wants to offer you something special for those of you who just want to be married. Small truly is beautiful! I have also expanded the Live Virtual Wedding Fairs to Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex too - featuring monthly Live Fairs (on a weekday night) and a complimentary once monthly E-Wedding Magazine, giving brides and grooms a way of connecting virtually and finding fantastic venues and wedding suppliers in different regions. We are here help you plan your dream wedding in whatever form that might take. Happy planning!!

Set in 190 acres of gardens, Ashridge House is steeped in British history dating back to 1283 when Ashridge was first established as a monastery for the order of the ‘College of Bonhommes’ founded by Edmund, Earl of Cornwall. In 1539, with the dissolution of the monasteries, King Henry VIII acquired Ashridge as a country residence later bequeathing it to his daughter and future Queen, Elizabeth I in 1550. Following Elizabeth’s death in 1603 Ashridge was purchased by Sir Thomas Egerton (Queen AElizabeth I’s Lord Keeper) in 1604 and Ashridge became home to the Dukes and Earls of Bridgewater wAho continued to live there for 245 years through to the end of the First World War. In 1808 Ashridge was almost completely rebuilt by James Wyatt in the spectacular style you see today. During both world wars, Ashridge served as a hospital and convalescence home for invalid soldiers until 1949 when it in turn became a finishing school for young ladies. Finally, in 1959 Ashridge became home to the renowned Ashridge Business School (now known as Hult Ashridge Executive Education) and is now also a world- class wedding and events venue.
