“It’s good to see new trends, colours and themes!”

Grasmere Gingerbread is loved by many, so why not treat those close to you with Grasmere Gingerbread Shop favours! The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop can offer you the opportunity to thank your guests through tasty delicacies. We spoke to those at The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop to see what they have to offer at our Winter Wonderland Wedding Fair…

Business

The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop

 

Tell us a little bit about your business…

Grasmere Gingerbread favours provide guests with more than a simple token of gratitude. Every detail of our beautifully packaged delicacies are chosen by our couples; from the colour, size and shape to the subtle features that make them uniquely yours. We offer a free consultation service to discuss individual requirements and tastes, during which we gain a personal insight into how best our favours can complement each special celebration. Our world-famous Gingerbread always proves an original and charming token of thanks for friends and loved ones. Not to mention, it is also baked fresh on the day of service making it the most moreish gift imaginable.

 

What is the best thing about working in the wedding industry?

To be a tiny part of someone’s biggest day of their lives is a real honour! It’s wonderful to hear about the couples plans and ideas that make their wedding unique.

 

Why do you think it’s important for couples planning their special day, to visit wedding fairs?

A wedding fair is great for inspiration. Its good to see new trends, colours and themes.

 

Do you have any new products you will be introducing in the new year?

Anyone who has visited our tiny shop will know how laden our shelves are with ginger-themed foodstuffs and handcrafted gifts. We are very selective with the products that we choose to bring into the shop and always choose local suppliers where possible. We often chance upon a product that we feel is in-keeping with what our customers are looking for but currently have no plans to introduce anything particular in the new year. However, as far as our wedding favours are concerned, we are constantly on the lookout for new ideas. Every single favour request we receive is so unique that we strive to offer as much choice as possible for our couples. Fortunately, there are infinite box sizes, shapes, colours and materials available to provide inspiration and our multitude of decorative features is always expanding. We like to think that imagination is our couples’ only limit!

 

Do you have any special offers available at the Wedding Fair?

We keep our pricing structure as fair as possible and like to offer shop visitors enquiring about favours the same options and prices as those we meet at fairs and shows. Fairs are a fantastic opportunity to meet with Shirleyann and discuss ideas directly. They provide us with a great insight into our couples’ special day and perhaps peek at other aspects they are piecing together. We always offer free samples and are fully stocked with examples of our previous creations, meaning that the option is always there to test the Gingerbread and start forming ideas at the stand before committing to a particular style.

 

What is the BEST piece of advice that you can give to a couple planning their wedding?

Two heads are better than one? It’s always lovely to welcome couples into a discussion about their favours and realise their dream choices with them. Often, couples enter a conversation with us having not thought about the style of favour they want or prefer. It’s great to see ideas form between our couples and the ‘lightbulb moment’ when they discover a shared preference or think of a creative flair to make their favours personal. It’s all about making a couple’s favours uniquely theirs and this is something that participation from both often requires. It also helps to plan in advance where possible. Knowing the smaller details are sorted ensures enjoyment in the preparation and generally, a more relaxed run-up to the big day.

We don’t just hire photobooths and Selfie Mirror’s, we raise experience for the guests. Hiring from us means you get a whole lot more than just a booth.

 

What is the best thing about working in the wedding industry?

It’s great to think you have been booked to help a couple celebrate the biggest day of their life. What could be more satisfying than that?

 

Why do you think it’s important for couples planning their special day, to visit wedding fairs?

Seeing the product at first hand and meeting the people you plan to book gives couples the security of what and who they will have on the day. Only visiting wedding fairs can do this.

 

Do you have any new products you will be introducing in the new year?

We are about to launch our “All Day Pod”, a photobooth that couples and their guests can have for the whole day.

 

Do you have any special offers available at the Wedding Fair?

Yes lots, but you will have to visit to know about them.

 

What is the BEST piece of advice that you can give to a couple planning their wedding?

Forget about the little extras that don’t matter. None of your guests will remember them. But they will remember whether they had fun in the evening and that’s what your wedding will be evaluated on.

 

“Weddings are the happiest day of peoples lives!”

Tell us a little bit about your business…

I am a professional fully qualified wedding photographer with a fun interactive personality! I don’t just capture weddings but can turn my camera to any event, celebration or occasion.

 

What is the best thing about working in the wedding industry?

Weddings are the happiest day of peoples lives! Everyone from the guests, the family and the bride and groom are there to celebrate! I get to be part of people’s special moments and memories and capture them for them to treasure for the rest of their lives! Cheesy but true!

 

Why do you think it’s important for couples planning their special day, to visit wedding fairs?

I am planning a wedding myself and it’s a minefield out there with different suppliers and the volume for each category! Wedding fairs give an opportunity to see someone in all their glory not just captured in a Facebook post or a review from a stranger. It’s great for fact finding and helping set the budget but also a fantastic excuse for some quality time together to share ideas about what will make your day perfect for you both!

 

Do you have any new products you will be introducing in the new year?

I am hoping in the next 12 months to invest in a drone to add that extra little touch to my couples big day.

 

Do you have any special offers available at the Wedding Fair?

I will be offering some fantastic discounts on full day packages with albums USBs and pre wedding shoots, saving up to £300!!

 

What is the BEST piece of advice that you can give to a couple planning their wedding?

Be patient and plan for the unexpected little extras. Also, it’s your day don’t lose focus on what it’s about by spending too much time trying to please everybody else.

For the past seventeen years, I’ve been photographing weddings across Cumbria and beyond. I like to think that what I offer is unique because of my attention to detail and personal approach.

 

What is the best thing about working in the wedding industry?

The best thing about working in the wedding industry for me, apart from the actual photoshoot, is meeting other suppliers and sharing ideas and stories with them.

 

Why do you think it’s important for couples planning their special day, to visit wedding fairs?

Couples planning their wedding need to have face-to-face contact with the suppliers they might choose.

 

Do you have any new products you will be introducing in the new year?

I have new brochures and a new price guide this year.

 

Do you have any special offers available at the Wedding Fair?

I don’t do ‘special offers’, I negotiate every package personally!

 

What is the BEST piece of advice that you can give to a couple planning their wedding?
