‘Following the success of our first Wedding Sanctuary event last year, our members voted in favour of running it again: the reason it is so different is because our member planners and our wonderful supplier partners are there to guide brides and grooms on a one to one basis and offer advice, not to thrust business cards into their hands’ explains Sandy Moretta, Membership Director.

The Wedding Sanctuary will be divided into specific zones, including an inspiration zone, an advice zone, a beautiful Bridal Boudoir and the all important, fun filled Grooms Room.

Tickets are £10 each and £15 for a pair – use the link to book your tickets, or, if you have questions, please contact Sandy Moretta at sandy@ukawp.com or on 01442 828061.
