Join us at Stancliffe Hall for this year's evening social event for wedding industry professionals across the Midlands.

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. The event provides a great opportunity to meet new people and to catch up with colleagues after the traditionally busy summer wedding season.
This year's event will take place on Wednesday 20th September from 6:30pm to 9pm at Stancliffe Hall - a luxurious exclusive wedding venue nestled in over 50 acres of stunning parkland in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales.
This year we will be joined by Sandy Moretta, one of the Directors of the UKAWP. Also joining us will be Honeysuckle and Castle who are the inhouse co-ordinators at Stancliffe Hall. During the evening you will be treated to a canapés reception thanks to Coglans Cookery School and music by RJL Events.
It's free to attend but you do need to register to attend. There will be a guest list on the night for entry and places are limited so book you place now over on the UKAWP events page. For further information please email: val@ukawp.com or call me on 0115 888 2611.
I look forward to seeing you there!
