Meet the suppliers - our recent networking evening

Networking in Romsey ....



Our latest get together of wedding suppliers was excellent, we had a fabulous collection of visitors and a chance to meet some new faces, chat about some excellent ideas and make some valuable contacts.

In return we hope that they too went home knowing a little more about us, understand how we can help brides and more importantly what we believe makes a good wedding planner - and that's different than what most think!

So the line up, to give them a little mention, was (in no particular order)

Frankie Laborda Hair and Make up.

Frankie is fairly new to the wedding world, she is an experienced make up and hair stylist of many years from London who is now in Hampshire and lucky for us that she is! I can't wait to work with her on a wedding.

Bramley's Tea Rooms

It was lovely to meet Ellie and Jo from Bramley's (and try some yummy cake!) I've been to Bramley's myself and adore their cakes and treats. Ellie is a self confessed cake-a-holic and they know their stuff! They provide cakes to events and businesses all over the Romsey and surrounding areas and are soon to be expanding to a wider field. Perfect for that English wedding with an afternoon tea.

Wines for your Wedding - we have the answer!

Supplying your own wine? Fancy a change from the supermarket specials?

We can help provide excellent wine at low prices delivered to your venue door, all from our trusted supplier - Cavendish Wines in Romsey.



Cavendish Wines are part of Theirry's wine services in Romsey, they import amazing wines from the old and new world straight to your door. I know these guys personally having worked with them for many years and I'm happy now to be part of the team and able to provide couples with advice, tastings, drinks packages and of course some lovely wine.



As part of the selection process of your wine we can offer the following to help you make the right decision when it comes to your special day:

* Menu and wine matching, to get the most out of your menu
* Wine tastings to ensure you know what you are buying
* Expert advice to help you make informed choices
* Excellent, budget friendly prices to buy in bulk
* Free delivery (minimum order applies)
* Drinks packages to suit your day from as little as £10pp




Cavendish pride themselves on giving the best wines at affordable prices, none of the wines you purchase will be available in supermarkets so you will feel special and unique. They invest a lot of time and experience to choosing the right suppliers from around the world and a varied selection to suit every event.

Why buy Cavendish wines and not just a supermarket special offer?

We are asked this a lot and the answer is simple. The wines are unique, they are excellent quality and as they are not available through your local supermarkets your guests won't know that they cost about the same as a 3 for £10 offer you might have previously used! By purchasing your local special offers you not only settle for perhaps lower quality wines but your guests are likely to know where the wine came from and what sort of cost this entails, this isn't a problem for most but if you want to treat your guests for around the same cost then invest the time in choosing Cavendish, have a menu matching with your caterer and see the difference a personal touch can make too your day.


After all you will have spent a lot of time choosing your menu and it is a large part of the day as well as the budget, why not take the expert advice and match your wine exactly to your menu and give your guests an all round taste experience.

For more information or for a brochure and price list contact us at enquiries@isabellaweddings.co.uk or visit our website www.isabellaweddings.co.uk

Look forward to tasting some great wines with you soon!
