Finished 2023 with a Christmas themed wedding celebration held at Coventry Transport Museum for 75 guests.

Teresa Pretty Fly Co. transformed the room with her balloon creations and chair/table covers and decorations.. Three of us started at 10am and beavered away till 4pm.

Venue worked really well with the added bonus of a meander round the museum included fir the guests. And the museum staff were all very helpful throughout the day and evening helping to meet and greet, transfer coats and run the bar.

I haven't posted for a while so here are a few pics of events I have been coordinating over the last few months.
There has been quite a mix including wedding celebrations, garden party, 70th birthday party, inter-club tennis tournament, Revolve boutique fashion show and a couple of celebrations of life/wakes.
I even spotted some musical talent in young country rock singer Luke Flear and booked him a couple of gigs. Due to popular demand he will be back in Warwickshire in 2024!
Children's Christmas party and wedding celebration on 23rd December to finish a very varied 2023!

Coordinated a lovely, informal Sunday afternoon garden party for 60 guests. Thai food and puds buffet-style, and I booked a young local duo vocals/guitar for entertainment playing classic hits acoustic-style which was perfect. Couldn't resist a photo with this fab old Jaguar driven by one of the guests.

The sun certainly shone on this home wedding celebration for 150 guests which I coordinated in May. Rural location with lovely rustic decorations, harpist Madeline greeted the guests, and delightful vocals from Nike on keyboards during the wedding breakfast. The day finished with dancing to the DJ.

February's BCO Midlands event was a networking breakfast, short presentation and tour of BT's new offices over 17 very impressive open plan floors Birmingham. To accommodate 3000 staff. A pleasure to work in I am sure!

Assisted with coordinating the BCO Midlands (design, development and occupation of offices) first event for 2022 for a preview of the newly refurbed offices at 103 Colmore Row. Fully booked, the attendees enjoyed short presentations before a tour of the tallest building in Birmingham which included a glass of champagne looking out across the stunning skyline from the 24th floor. The top three floors have already been let!

Cake, prosecco and elderflower were served to the 70 guests in the sunshine at Warwick Boat Club with guest of honour, Warwickshire Lord Lieutenant Tim Cox accompanied by three cadets handing out the awards.

The first ever Hatton Park Charity Fun Day on Sat 4 September was a great success raising just over £1000 to share between Warwickshire Women's Refuge and Molly Olly's Wishes. And by popular demand from the residents and their friends we will be back with another one on 3rd September 2022. With extra activities, food options and live music, plus DJ again. A traditional fete with a modern twist. Suits all ages. Great community feel.

Helped coordinate a lovely christening yesterday. Fortunately the drizzle stopped so a mad dash to get all the drinks, balloons, etc set up on the patio ready for the 80 adults and 30+ children arriving from the church. Then the sun came out making it the perfect afternoon for a garden party.

Now we are socialising a little more I have been asked to take a few photos with my Nikon camera - strictly amateur - and always happy to bring it along and capture some of the moments at the events I coordinate. These were taken at a couple of tennis tournaments recently.

As I coordinate quite a wide range of styles of events from drinks parties, home weddings to corporate networking events I have updated my page title from Weddings, parties & Events Coordinator to Event Coordinator. Here is my new logo and new website will be live in the next week or two.

And a short sample of their guitaring skills

Lovely to be able to book some live music for a belated wedding reception lunch which took place on Monday 21 June. Guitar O.D are instrumental guitarists so they could still perform as no vocals, so perfect whilst restrictions are still ongoing. And the guests had a lot of catching up to do after so long since their last social event. As the hosts Jane and David said - so many of our guests commented on how talented Dan and Alex are. Great to see their musical skills on show again for an audience to enjoy.
