Venues in the Spot Light...Colchester Town Hall

I LOVE discovering an amazing venue, and when I did a wedding fair at Colchester Town Hall, boy did I discover an amazing venue!

Situated right in the heart of Colchester's town centre, this gem of a venue is everything you could ask for; elegant, grand and steeped in history. 

With a gorgeous staircase for photo opportunities, the Mayor's Chamber for a ceremony and the Moot Hall for a reception and Wedding Breakfast, it certainly has the wow factor. 

The architectural features are to DIE for, with columns, stunning ornate ceilings and beautiful wood panelling as far as the eye can see. A venue like this would require very little dressing and is therefore ideal for couples looking to keep things elegant and classic.

My personal favourite room, the Moot hall, has a Cathedral feel about it; with palatial high ceilings, stained glass windows and parquet flooring throughout. The natural light flooding through the enormous windows ensure that the Moot Hall never feels dark or dingey and the huge expanse of space means that up to 200 guests can easily be accommodated. 

The Moot Hall is a breath taking and regal location for a ceremony or reception

 

Colchester Town Hall offers tonnes of photo opportunity spots, such as the Mayor's Balcony

Colchester Town Hall is available to hire from just £150 for a ceremony; head to http://www.colchester.gov.uk/article/11861/Civil-Ceremonies-and-Wedding-Receptions for more information.

Keep your options open, you never know what you might unknowingly uncover!

Pink Lemonade Productions...the story so far

I appreciate that I have been neglectful of my blog for a little while now but in all honesty Pink Lemonade Productions has been the central focus of my attention as it has been incredibly successful so far.

Here's what we've been up to!

First up was a photo session for the website; I really wanted to go for a country, rustic feel and so this was one of our favourite shots. This particular photo was taken in a rare moment of sunshine, although in hindsight it could have done with a bit more colour. Here are a few more fun ones...

It was super windy and so everything kept toppling over. Here are our mares Evie and Millie trying to steal the limelight!

The fun continued when I was moving the hay; Millie decided to give chase! It was such a giggle.

Evie was keen to investigate the vintage suitcases...

Papa Smurf made his debut in my favourite frame. 

Next up was the Wedding Fair at Priory Hall in Hadleigh. Let me tell you, this venue is full of quintessentially English country garden charm. Tudor period features and quaint courtyard areas make this venue a fantastic hidden gem in the suffolk countryside. Check out the gorgeous images below from Priory Hall's Website!

We were set up in the marquee, and a fantastic day was had by all who attended. Cyndy Hilton, the Lady of the Manor as it were, is charm and grace personified; not to mention the expert organiser of the Weddings and events that take place at Priory Hall.

Here is a small collection of the centrepieces we offer, as well as some of the beautiful flower arrangements made by Judi at Heirloom Blooms. 

Here is Marilyn, our gorgeous star of the show; I am so proud of our popcorn machine, especially since she has now been sign written. We served both sweet and salted popcorn to all of the suppliers and couples attending the fair. 

Next up was Colchester Town Hall Wedding Fair; and let me tell you, these photos don't even begin to do the venue justice. Read more and prepare to be wowed on my dedicated post here.

Here we are, all set up and ready to go! This time the popcorn was lightly salted and seasoned with vanilla infused sugar. It was incredibly popular! By the time of this fair, our gorgeous flyers had made their debut. 

We absolutely love the images we use, but our absolute favourite is the gorgeous festival style photograph featuring some beautiful products courtesy of Three Bird Nest. Pink Lemonade Productions is incredibly grateful for permission to use this stunning image, and we love telling everyone who asks about it. Check out their Etsy store or Facebook page! 

Finally....there's the Website Launch!

Www.PinkLemonadeProductions.com is live and ready to be loved by all! Check it out and let us know your thoughts.

A million Thank You's to the brilliant and talented Harleigh Allouch; she managed to translate the inside of my head into web page format with very little to go on! 

Harleigh, you have been my sounding board, my designer, my creative director, my go-to, my confidant and most importantly, my friend. 

You too can have a beautiful we page by clicking here.

Until next time...

Wake up, dress up, show up and never give up :)
