It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and what an amazing year it's been for Benessamy.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I'm starting to feel very festive indeed! But, before I sign off for our Christmas and New Year break I wanted to leave you with a round up of some of the highlights of the year for Benessamy Weddings and Events.
Well, the year got off to an incredible start when we were awarded Highly Commended at the Nationals of The Wedding Industry Awards,
We had another year of beautiful weddings and fabulous wedding clients,
