Hello Herts Beds & Bucks Brides and Grooms Well you would be forgiven in thinking this wasn't quite the start we had hoped for the beginning of 2021 however I refuse to be beaten. I know many of you are determinedly planning your wedding during our latest lockdown and we are 100% behind you. We have some of the best weddding venues and suppliers in Herts, Beds and Bucks at your finger tips. Please don't hesitate to contact any of them directly as they will be thrilled to hear from you. I know some of you will be wondering whether this is the year to marry and I would say this. Ask yourself if you are happy with a wedding of six people, or fifteen people, or thirty people. What is your limit? If an intimate wedding of six doesn't have you running for the hills then this is most definitely the year you can say I do. A group of 30 is positively a party. That's not to say that larger weddings won't be able to take place this year either but no one can say for sure. 2021 is a flexible ticket ! We don't know where it is going; we don't know where it will lead, but we are on it for the ride of our life. Hold on to each other and stay safe.
