NEWS Nearlywed Catch up on the latest from around the region IT’S SHOWTIME! A handful of Somerset wedding businesses have collaborated with award-winning musician Lucy Harvey to create a new music showreel at the beginning of March. The video features popular wedding cover songs performed on the saxophone with vocals from Ruelle, Sam Smith and more. The video showcases a spectrum of diverse suppliers from around the region, with wedding venue South Sands Hotel (www.south-sands.co.uk) and surrounding Sand Bay Beach providing the stunning scenery. Meanwhile, driftwood artist Dan Wakeman (www.imadethis76.co.uk) installed a two-metre high love heart on the beach, and Enhanced Entertainment (www.enhancedentertainment.co.uk) provided love letters and uplighters to transform the venue. Expertly filmed and edited by Kien from KB Wedding Videography (https://kbweddingvideography.com), and supported by LIKE Photography’s Lisa (www.likephotography.co.uk), the day was a huge success. You can check out the finished video at www.lucyharvey.co.uk MMM, DOUGHNUTS! Crosstown has recently opened the doors to its fourth permanent location outside of London, at 21 Queens Street, Bristol. Best known for creating the world’s first sourdough doughnuts, Crosstown has established itself as an award-winning premium sweet treat destination. Having recently sampled some of its delicious bakes here at CWM HQ, we can see how. The even more exciting news, if that’s possible, is that Crosstown Bristol will be offering a wedding catering service. Options include such joys as a freestanding doughnut wall capable of holding 260 of the delicious bakes, a tabletop display holding 100 or its towers, available in three sizes of three, five and seven tiers holding between 12 and 80 doughnuts. You also have the option to customise your desserts with personalised packing and decoration, from edible ink toppers to gift boxes featuring your guests’ names or wedding motif. That’s not all, as Crosstown can also offer a coffee cart, horse box trailer or gazebo for more festival-style catering vibes, again including more doughnuts than you can shake a stick at! It doesn’t end there, as Crosstown can also bring an ice cream scoop bar to your wedding. It holds up to 10 flavours and can cater for hundreds of guests.
