An Essex Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 105)

HOT TOPIC Those in-the-know solve your wedding dilemmas FIRST DATES Our first wedding date got cancelled due to COVID-19, and we’re now apprehensive about booking another venue. What do you suggest we ask in case of future complications? The industry was hugely affected by the pandemic and venues had to reschedule many celebrations, so it’s no surprise that most wedding venues will now have a policy in place should anything like this ever happen again. When looking for your dream venue, one of the questions I would recommend asking is what the venue’s COVID policy is – for example, will you be able to move your date, should it be affected by government restrictions? Will there be any charges to move the date? Will you be offered a selection of new dates – or will the venue decide on a new date for you? Also be sure to check with your wedding insurance and other suppliers to find out what their policies are, too.

Are all mobile casinos the same – or is there anything else I should be aware of that will wow her and all our friends and family? I would personally say most casino tables are the same, however, what I say to my brides and grooms is that with our business you deal with me from the beginning right through to the very end – I will be at your wedding, so you know who will be behind the tables. With 20 years of experience in London casinos I know what I’m doing, and I only work with casino-trained dealers. I also only host one event per day, so although the dealing time is up to three hours I’m available all day for your wedding.
