Most people readily confess that they hate networking.
Let's be honest, standing in a room full of strangers making painfully slow conversation isn't everyone's idea of fun and it's not ours either. When we first decided to launch The Wedding Affair Network we knew that we wanted things to be different.... and judging by last night we definitely achieved it!
Goldsborough Hall was our choice of venue for this event - for a number of reasons. Firstly - it's just gorgeous and we love being there. Secondly - we are fast approaching THE Wedding of the Year and in honour we wanted to host a networking session 'By Royal Appointment' (very tongue in cheek of course!). Goldsborough Hall was the former home of Princess Mary and therefore could not have been more fitting. Thirdly - it was the Queen's birthday yesterday so once again, the perfect location and date. Fourthly (and finally) we have The Wedding Affair at Goldsborough Hall on Sunday 12th June and we wanted to showcase this beautiful home to our suppliers.
And so we did what we always do.... pulled together some of the best suppliers in the industry to entertain our guests working with a James Bond 'Quintessentially British' theme. We like to have fun at our events and if we are having a great time, then everyone else should be too! 
We would therefore like to say a huge Wedding Affair thank you to all those involved in entertaining our guests - Mark Oglesby for his witty and interesting insight into the history of Goldsborough Hall, Richard 'Swing' Daniels for his fabulous singing, Miss Deal Fun Casino for allowing everyone to release their inner gambling demons and Mark Waddington for being THE magic man!!
And last, but definitely not least, thank you to Booth Revolution for keeping us laughing all evening long. There is so much to tell you about them that it's a whole different blog altogether!
We know you won't believe us, but this is work! A very warm welcome went out and huge thanks go to our guests for joining us at Goldsborough Hall for our fourth Networking event. We feel that networking should take place in a fun, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and our events are getting a bit of a reputation for it now! We're not sure how to raise the bar for the next session but as it will be our 2nd birthday celebration, we can guarantee it will be a party not to be missed!
A huge thank you also to Chris Milner for taking all the fabulous shots you see in this blog. The full portfolio from the night is available on our website www.theweddingaffair.co.uk
Here's the official roll call for all those fabulous people involved in making last night the resounding success that it was including Alison of Beauty Call who very kindly treated Lisa, Clare Oglesby and myself to a make-up and hair session prior to everyone arriving. Much Wedding Affair love to all of you....
