It was a great feeling yesterday, at the end of the Guides for Brides Wedding Conference, to know the positive impact that we'd just made on our clients' sales and marketing for 2025. Thank you to our inspiring speakers and panelists who shared their tips and advice so freely, and to our wonderful sponsors who were there to help our UK wedding venues be their very best. It was an energising and impactful day. It was also a lovely opportunity to formally launch Big Day Agency, the in-house Guides for Brides marketing agency which has been discretely helping so many of our clients with their social media and marketing. To spread the love to more of our clients, we will be sharing a few of the top tips and insights during December, in time for the proposal season.
