6 very special venues, which one will YOU choose?

How much do you know about the venues on my books? 
At Beckie Melvin Events, I'm lucky enough to work with a wide range of wedding venues across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire & Buckinghamshire. From large marquees in award winning grounds, to intimate barns, to contemporary inner city hotels, to historical & intriguing buildings, to amazing grand halls... 

​Here's a little snapshot into each, with more information available on request. I've listed the dates of upcoming shows under each photo.

Our next one is Sunday 6 January in Bedford at The Grand Hall, I hope to meet you there!

Back to school time

If you're on my Facebook page you'll have seen a few mentions of me studying, getting my coursework done etc. Well I'm not going mad or making excuses for spending hours off work, I really am back to studying.

I'm currently doing a diploma in Venue Coordination, with the Wedding Planning Academy, & I'm LOVING it! I'm learning so much, as well as having the knowledge I've already gained over the years reinforced. It's a fascinating course, at time of writing I'm around 25% completed & hoping to graduate in Spring to early Summer 2019. 

So there you have it, at nearly 40 I'm still learning & improving my knowledge, & loving it too. What have YOU done recently to increase your business skills? I'd love to hear, leave a comment below! Bxx

Pantone trends for 2019

Well it's nearly the end of 2018 so I figured it's time I investigated the anticipated colour trends for 2019.

This year's key colour was purple, beautiful regal purple. So what's on the board for NEXT year?
According to the Pantone website, we can look forward to the following colours gracing our homes & fashion:

Uplifting colours
Joyful
Empowering
Bright & vibrant

Click on each colour to see the "official" name, I'm very excited to see how these play out into the 2019 wedding scene!
