Matrimony Magazine UK

22/08/2023

I just thought I'd let you know a little bit about Matrimony Magazine UK® for those of you who have never worked with us before.

The magazine came into being in October/November 2018 when the Intellectual Property Office granted us our Registered Trade Mark. The same year we joined the PPA (Professional Publishers Association).

We are independently published (bi-annually - Spring/Summer Issue & Autumn/Winter Issue) so each magazine feels as though it has been written especially for the bride. We are published both digitally and in print (a small run of printed magazines). Our digital readership at the moment stands at just over 1.9 million readers worldwide.

We couldn't do what we do without the assistance of our valued contributors. We are constantly looking for businesses who would like to feature in the magazine whether you be Celebrants, Cake Makers, MUA's, Hairstylists, Bridalwear shops, Florists, Venue Stylists, Venues, Stationery Designers .... the list goes on.
As some of you already know we also hold about 3-4 photoshoots per year for our front covers shots for the magazine. We love to hear about ideas you may have for these shoots. It doesn't matter where in the country you are or what the idea is we love to hear your ideas and then let our imaginations run wild!

Advertising with us is not expensive. To find out more just take a look at our website page https://www.matrimonymagazine.co.uk/advertising-rates.
We have a group for wedding suppliers around the UK so if you fancy finding out more about us or would like to be featured just look for the group page at Matrimony Magazine

We are setting up a 'membership' club for those of you who have joined/or wish to join the group to enable members to receive 10% off advertising. Contact me for further details at [email protected]

Have a lovely day everyone!

We've taken the decision this afternoon to make all of our Group pages private as our friends at Wedding Suppliers Shropshire and another group that we belonged to have been hijacked by people in Vietnam called Tổ Chức Sự Kiện (which means "Event Organisers") in Vietnamese. Just warning other groups to be careful if they have set their groups to 'public' and have over 2.5K plus members. These people seem to be targetting groups with large memberships and lock out the original admins of the groups. Be careful out there.

*** PRESS RELEASE ***
Smash-hit immersive Broadway show comes to ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower - The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, E20 2AD

It's time to get dressed up and put on your dancing shoes because Tony n' Tina's Wedding - the immersive hit Broadway show from America - is coming to London!

This unique live theatrical experience - during which the audience and cast interact together during a 'live wedding' - will officially open at the ArcelorMittal Orbit tower at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on March 16th, 2023.

The show takes the format of an Italian American wedding where audience members become guests for the evening and enjoy a sit-down dinner whilst following star-eyed lovebirds Tony and Tina on their chaotic wedding day. Actors mingle with the audience directly as if everybody is part of the wedding itself.

The hilarious production is being launched in the UK by veteran theatre impresario Paul Gregg, the man who originally brought The Lion King to the Lyceum theatre London's West End.

Paul, who is launching the show in conjunction with business partner Kern Judge, said: "We're delighted to be hosting the truly fantastic 'Tony n' Tina's Wedding' at the ArcelorMittal Orbit from Spring 2023. Join us for a celebration night out that includes a three course Italian wedding dinner, which is enjoyed whilst the show unfolds all around you!"

The production opens with the blessing of US producers Raphael Berko and Jeff Gitlin from Las Vegas along with Larry Pellegrini, who directed and wrote the original Broadway version of the show. After more than 25 years since first opening its doors in New York, Tony n' Tina's Wedding is still loved by multiple generations worldwide.

Guests will be immersed in an authentic Italian atmosphere - complete with tossing the bouquets, cutting the cake, traditional music, food, and of course plenty of dancing. The team behind this classic comedy - which started the genre of 'interactive theatre' - chose London as the perfect city for its debut in Europe. The ArcelorMittal Orbit tower was also selected due to its location and amazing panoramic views that it offers its guests.

The show has been seen around the world since its start in the 1980s — from Las Vegas to Hawaii, on cruise ships and everywhere in-between. Having entertained millions, it's now time to accept YOUR invitation to attend Tony n' Tina's Wedding in London!

'Tony n' Tina's Wedding' is booking now. Tickets priced at £95 plus booking fee, includes show, three-course dinner and complimentary glass of bubbly! For more information visit: ticketline.co.uk/tony-n-tinas-wedding-dinner-and-show
