An evening social event for wedding industry professionals across the Midlands

I'm excited to bring you news about this year's Midlands Mix and Mingle event.
The Midlands Mix and Mingle is one of a series of networking events held by the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP) each year and is open to all in the wedding industry. You don't need to be a member of the UKAWP to attend.
The event provides a great opportunity to meet new people and to catch up with colleagues after the traditionally busy summer wedding season. If you've not attended one of these events before and you're wondering what to expect, take a look at this short film of last year's event which was produced by Perfect Moment Films.
This year's event will take place on Thursday 13th October from 6:30pm to 9pm at the fabulous Revolucion de Cuba in Nottingham.

This will be the 4th Mix and Mingle that I have organised and hosted on behalf of the UKAWP. The events are always great fun to work on and this year, I'm really looking forward to working with 3 of my UKAWP colleagues who are all new members. Flying the UKAWP Midlands flag with me will be:
Nadia Wood - Weddings by Nadia
Linzi Barford - That Black and White Cat
Natalie Hewitt - Natalie Hewitt Wedding Planner
It's free to attend so all you need to do is register here. There will be a guest list on the night for entry and places are limited. For further information please email: val@ukawp.com or call me on 0115 888 2611. Linzi, Nadia, Natalie and I look forward to seeing you there!
