I attended the fabulous ceremony on Tuesday evening at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire with lots of amazing and talented wedding friends and colleagues. I travelled down to the awards with some of my fellow Regional Finalists, the lovely Jenni (Make up by Jenni), Celeste (The Organic Wedding Cake Company) and Jacqui (Fuchsia Fairy).

When we arrived we were greeted by one of the welcome team with a glass of Lanson champagne.and treated to delicious canapes and bowl food by Galloping Gourmet.
As the awards ceremony got under way and The Wedding Industry Awards Founder Damian Bailey took to the stage, I could literally feel my heart start beating out of my chest! There were 25 titles awarded during the evening and when Damian started to read out the feedback from the judges for the Best Planner Award, I have to say that I became quite emotional - "head and shoulders above the rest". My walk up the steps and onto the stage was just full of pride (and a bit shakey!).

It was so lovely to see so many of my fabulous wedding industry colleagues pick up awards too and to spend the evening with all of those who reached the regional finals.
Winners from each category will now go forward to represent the East Midlands in the National Finals to be held in London on 15th January 2015.
I absolutely love being part of this fabulous industry and I'm thrilled to have received this level of recognition from the judges and seal of approval from our wonderful clients who have voted for Benessamy. I'm really looking forward to the national awards.
You can find a full list of the winners from the East Midlands here.

A wedding weekend or multi-day celebration is your chance to extend one of the happiest days of your life and spend even more time celebrating. Although anyone can host a wedding weekend, they’re particularly popular among people getting married overseas. If you and your guests are travelling a significant distance, it makes sense to maximise your trip by planning various events and gatherings for the duration of your stay.

In simple terms, an experiential event is one that seeks to immerse guests in an experience. It’s not an event you simply attend and observe. By engaging all the senses, it can be experienced on several levels, creating more impact and making it more memorable for everyone involved.
