We want alpacas, our favourite animals to join in with our special day being hosted in Devon. How can we make this possible? Mark Norman says: We have been busy taking our alpacas to weddings this year and new for summer was our cute one-year-olds, Hagrid and Sirius, who made their first appearance at a wedding! Guests got to hand-feed carrots to the alpacas, stroke them and have photographs taken with them. We mingled with the guests, providing a great opportunity for photographs and selfies. The happy couple went for an alpaca walk providing a fantastic photo moment! The venue, Rockbeare Manor provided a great space for our adorable alpacas and the team were super helpful. As part of the wedding package, the couple had already visited our alpaca farm to meet and walk the alpacas which is a great way to feel more relaxed around the animals on the actual wedding day. We even offer a homemade cream tea which provides a real treat! www.lakemooralpacasdartmoor.co.uk www.facebook.com/lakemooralpacasdartmoor www.katiegoffphotography.com CHURCH ON TIME Meet the expert: Sara Phillips is the joint owner of Honeybugs Cornwall, a multi-award-winning VW wedding car hire company that has won wedding awards for the best wedding transport in Cornwall for four consecutive years. We want to hire some quirky wedding transport. Sara says: We offer Hatty the VW Beetle, Honey the VW Splitscreen and Hank, the Early Bay vehicles for wedding hire. Depending on the wedding theme, we suggest which vehicle would best suit the style. We have had couples booking with us who were adamant they didn’t want a VW but as soon as they met us and sat in one of the vehicles, it was love at first sight for them! For other couples getting married, the most important part of their day is to have a VW take them to their ceremony and reception and have photos taken with the vehicle. We highly recommend a viewing in person because they can meet their chauffeur(s) which helps to calm their nerves on the wedding day itself, and they can then choose their favourite vehicle too! VW vehicles are synonymous with Cornwall, fitting in with the sun, sea, sand, and surf vibe! Ours provides the perfect wedding transport, especially for the brides and their dresses, ensuring enough space and comfort and we work with great chauffeurs who go above and beyond to make them feel special on their journey to the ceremony or reception venue - the amount of smiles, toots and waves that wedding parties get along the way proves that the VW’s are loved by many! www.honeybugscornwall.co.uk www.instagram.com/honeybugscornwall 52
