Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - Page number 10 - June/July 2021 (Issue 89)

INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT CherryTop Weddings has developed a new Covid-secure interactive wedding entertainment experience that can be enjoyed by guests attending as well as friends and relatives watching remotely. (It’s also ideal for larger celebrations when restrictions lift.) Everyone will receive a ‘Love Story’ which is a printed booklet personalised by the couple. It contains photographs of the newlyweds and activities chosen by them including a quiz to find out how much their guests know about them, wedding speech bingo, word searches, drawing challenges and much more. Couples design their own Love Story booklet using CherryTop Weddings’ content management system. There’s a range of designs and colourways to choose from that suit all wedding themes and couples choose their design for the front and back cover. The package includes a personalised pen with each booklet, a special souvenir of the day, and activities for children. There are different packages available to suit each couple’s needs starting from £150. For more information call 01872 713 344 or visit the website www.cherrytopweddings.com CONGRATULATIONS! Newbury-based photographer Annabel Farley is celebrating becoming a finalist in a prestigious national wedding award.

Annabel tells us, “It’s been a very difficult year for everyone, but hospitality and the wedding industry has been hit extremely hard. Being nominated for this award and reaching the finals has certainly given me a lift at this time, and we’re hoping that we can now get back to doing what we do best.” To see Annabel’s new website and to book her for your wedding, visit https://annabelfarleyphotography.co.uk NEW OPENING Renowned chef Adam Handling has opened The Loch & The Tyne, a restaurant and pub with rooms in the Old Windsor countryside.
