What do brides most regret not having at their weddings?

Well, according to Wedding Ideas magazine it is not booking a videographer for the day.  Your wedding day will pass by in a blur and having a professional videographer to capture your day is essential.

"A camera can capture the smile but a video captures the laughter"

Andy and Margaret Ambrose have been videographers for over 20 years and have been the choice of celebrities and footballers for their weddings.

Andy Ambrose says about Classic video productions:-

Wedding Videography has been our passion for the past 20 years, combining geeky techie stuff with Artistic flair.
We have a substantial archive of wedding videos and will probably be able to show you your ceremony or wedding reception venue Our wedding videos are great value for money starting from the brides preparations right through to 11 pm without any hidden extras.

The Wedding House is 10!

2013 sees the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Wedding House.  The house was officially opened by Ricky Tomlinson in February 2003 and the business has gone from strength to strength ever since, well known as the place to go for all things wedding in the Northwest.  The building itself it well worth a visit for its quirky elegance, from the beautifully tiled entry hall to the sweeping staircases and chandeliers.

To celebrate this milestone, the Wedding House will be holding a 10th birthday wedding event on the 3/4 March, where you will be able to speak to all the wedding suppliers, see singers and musicians in action and maybe take advantage of special booking offers on the day.

Many of the original suppliers are still resident in the building, including Groom Hire, Cloud9 bridal, Classic Video Production and Herve Wedding Photography.
