The majority of these suppliers are in South West England and will travel.
Exclusive Stationery

Vanessa did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding stationery. All our guests commented on both the watercolour painting of Goldney and also the rose essential oil that she'd scented them all with
She's a bit on the expensive side (although nowhere near as expensive as the Wren Press for example!) but the quality is astounding!
Pronuptia, Bristol
I really can't fault Pronuptia at all. My dress was ordered in the correct size and arrived exactly when they said it would! The alterations were fantastic and they pressed the dress beautifully. The suit order was completely problem free too. The staff are really friendly and sincere and I'll be nipping in with my albumn to show them my piccies
Top Hat Cakes

Dominic from THC is absolutely amazing. I gave him a sketch of how I wanted the cake to look and had a short chat with him and then our amazing cake arrived on the wedding day. No fuss at all. All I had to do was throw money at him
The cake smelt, looked and tasted amazing
Claire Dibble, Harpist
0117 974 5275
Claire played the harp beautifully for us. We had a meeting with her at her house and she played lots of pieces for us so that we could decide on the ceremony music and then took down our favourite other pieces to play during the drinks reception. She dressed to complement the wedding colours too which I thought was a nice touch. All our guests loved her!
The Minerva Quartet

The Minerva Quartet played through the wedding breakfast for us and created a really relaxed and fun atmosphere. We asked for a mix of show/musical tunes and some classical.
Wedding Wise Flowers
Alison and her team from Wedding Wise created beautiful flowers for us. My bouquet was a work of art and exactly what I wanted. They are very reasonably priced in comparison to other florists I looked at in Bristol.
Goldney Hall & Fosters Event Catering

Goldney Hall was an amazing place to get married. The Mahogany Parlour, where the ceremony was, is very atmospheric and the gardens are absolutely gorgeous. Its a very private venue as its hidden away behind a high wall which was nice. You couldn't hear any traffic!!
Fosters are the contracted caterers for Goldney Hall, so you have no option to bring in an outside caterer. We didn't mind this, as some friends of ours had used them for their wedding reception and we knew they were good. Their prices do look quite steep in comparison to other places we investigated but you get great value for money. The portion sizes are very generous and the food is gorgeous.
