Up close & personal - at Driffield Wedding Fayre

We look forward, each year, to this lovely event which gives us chance to showcase our marquees and – more importantly – chat to the lovely brides and grooms of the future.

We had a fantastic time at this year’s fayre, earlier this month, where we also featured the event styling prowess of Liz Ewing, who we work with again and again, as well as showcasing the lovely wooden displays of Mark Friday from UMF Design for the first time.

We met some wonderful couples looking for inspiration for their 2018 weddings, including Rebecca Evans and husband-to-be Tom Ryder, pictured top right with their gorgeous daughter Sophia.

We were also delighted to see future brides and grooms like Chris Williams and Lucy Jagger (bottom right), who are already planning with Village Farm Marquees and wanted to refine their ideas by seeing one of our marquees ‘in action’. This fab couple are getting married in mid-July at the West Carlton Country Guesthouse near Aldbrough.

The feedback was excellent and we took lots of bookings for 2018 and beyond.

Rebecca, who works in marketing for a major supermarket chain, said: “Tom’s a farmer on his family’s farm near Easingwold.

“We’re planning a country-style summer wedding next July and so it’s been really inspirational to visit a sample marquee and have a look at the kinds of decorations that are available.

“We’ve been really pleasantly surprised by how lovely a marquee can look, and the various displays have given us lots of ideas.”
