Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - April/May 2021 (Issue 82)

IT’S A CELEBRATION! We have to send a huge congratulations to Celebration Roadshow. The DJ and wedding host company has recently won the National Highly Commended DJ award at The Wedding Industry Awards, which are voted for by the nominee’s own clients. “It’s so heartwarming hearing all the wonderful comments from our couples and knowing that we made such a positive impact on their day,” director Phill Makepeace tells us. “It’s a great commendation of the time and energy that our DJs put into each wedding. It also drives us to keep learning and pushing the DJ industry as a whole forward – actively thinking of new ways to keep our couples and their guests entertained.” Head to the website to find out how the company can work with you to create your dream day www.celebrationroadshow.co.uk STYLING IT OUT Premium venue styling brand, Ambience Venue Styling, has recently expanded with two new stylists based in the South West. With 15 stylists across the country, the company has had its work featured in Vogue , styled shoots for the likes of designer Jenny Packham, and designed hundreds of weddings in its distinctive, showstopping style. The two new stylists, Holly and Kelly, will be working at venues across Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, Bradford on Avon and South Gloucestershire. “We have so many incredible venues locally,” Holly Allman-Lopez says. “We’re so excited to get creative with some unique designs and styling products. We already have bookings for 2022 and 2023; it’s great to see the wedding industry recovering and beginning to thrive again.” The company offers couples a contemporary, elegant style, infusing venues with personality and soul. “Our friendly design process is personal, and most importantly, fun!” Holly says. “Despite restrictions, we’re still available for free design consultations over the phone or via Zoom.” Visit www. ambiencevenuestyling.com WEDDED BLISS Couples looking to tie the knot in the latter half of 2021 must check out this brilliant offer from the beautiful Orangery at Goldney House.

Making scents We love the fabulous new wedding range from Somerset-based Scentsational Sizzlers. Launched by Calley Owen at the end of 2019, the company offers beautifully fragranced products to fill your home with scent, and is now offering a range of favours for couples who want to gift the products to their loved ones. “My business has gone from strength to strength over the past year,” Calley says. “With everyone spending so much time in their houses, the home fragrance industry was in high demand as people freshened up their spaces. My products are a cleaner, easier and safer alternative to wax melts.” Calley decided to launch a wedding bundle for brides and grooms who wanted to give something a bit different as favours. “Couples can gift something useful that their loved ones can take home and use after the big day to continue the magic,” Calley explains. “The Scentsational Wedding Bundle contains 50 pots of personalised sizzlers in your chosen colours and scents from our menu, and the stickers can be personalised with your name, wedding date and venue.” For more information, visit www.scentsizz.co.uk https://hayl eybaxterphotography.com 10
