Your North East Wedding - Page number 10 - September/October 2021 (Issue 46)

FIVE MINUTES WITH... This issue, we caught up with Graeme King at Fizz On The Tyne. What does the company offer couples? I started the business five years ago to follow my passion for hosting events and my love of Italy. Here at Fizz On The Tyne, we cater for absolutely anything that involves a drink including weddings, corporate events and house parties – you name it, we’ll do it! What makes the business stand out? Wow your guests with our beautiful Prosecco van after the “I dos”, which always gets lots of attention. We offer couples a range of packages such as our popular fizz/lager package for reception drinks and our amazing, friendly staff are on-hand to ensure a smooth service. The favourite part of my job is speaking and interacting with customers and guests – I’m a right chatterbox! How long before the wedding should couples book your service? It’s always best to book our company early to avoid disappointment. But if we’re free on your date, we’ll be there to make your day special! What advice can you share with couples planning their special day? Make sure you leave no stone unturned and get in early with suppliers to make sure you book them on your chosen date. Most importantly, enjoy the experience and take it all in! Discover more about the company: www.fizzonthetyne.co.uk NEW VENUE ALERT!

EDITOR LOVES This issue is pack with beautiful inspiration and when I first saw the images from Dale and Christie’s special day, I knew the wedding would be perfect for our readers! The pair created the most beautiful day at South Causey Inn, a traditional countryside property set in 100 acres of beautiful grounds, and were surrounded by their loved ones. The wedding took place on 4 th June 2021, and DJM Photography captured the most beautiful images. The part that really stood out about the day was the first dance. Due to Covid-19, the pair needed to become creative and work around the restrictions in place. Darren their photographer had an amazing idea to have the first dance outside to meet requirements. The bride says, “Dancing under the sunset surrounded by candles, trees, family and friends was just amazing and stood out the most to me. All our suppliers were amazing, but Darren definitely stood out. He was superb from morning till night and captured every part of our day in an amazing style.” Flick to page 33 to read move about their wedding! www.djm photography.co.uk https://katy melling.com 10
