Your East Anglian Wedding - October/November 2023 (Issue 63)

NEWS Nearlywed All the latest from around the region LIFE OF THE PARTY GG’s is a new fully stocked and licensed mobile bar available for weddings, private functions, festivals, and more. The business is the brainchild of Gemma Thompson, from Costessey, Norfolk, who has been a successful mortgage advisor for more than 15 years. The idea of converting a horse trailer into a fully operational bar came at the King’s Coronation. Gemma was able to source a trailer from Facebook Marketplace and set to work converting it into a fully operational bar with the help of her friends. The transformation, including all necessary licenses and insurance, cost less than £5,000. GG’s bar can be tailored to the needs of the customer or event. It can be a prosecco bar, a gin bar, or a fully stocked bar with a choice of drinks. It comes equipped with professional, friendly, and experienced staff who will be on hand to keep the drinks flowing. Gemma tells us: “Being a mortgage advisor is very rewarding, and I really enjoy helping people secure their dream homes, but it’s not the most exciting of professions. In comparison, running GG’s bar is so much fun, and I’m loving the variety that both my businesses give me. It really is a case of a mortgage advisor by day and a mobile bar owner by night.” For more information, call 07833 045 212 or visit www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092185095948 DRINK IT ALL IN L.A Brewery in Suffolk specialises in non-alcoholic drinks.
