This month we hosted our final NAWP event at The Marriott County Hall, alongside the UK Wedding Association. It was a great celebration of our last (almost) 13 years and the heralding of a new era as we merge with UKWA.
Directors, Siobhan, Amanda and Hazel all reminisced about their time in NAWP, and Tracy (who was unable to attend due to moving house) sent a heartfelt message. Siobhan then introduced Alison Hargreaves, Founder and Director of the UK Wedding Association and discussed what the merger means for the industry and for the association members.
Many of our founding members were there on the night, as well as those who have joined and supported us over the more recent years.
The Marriott County Hall was an iconic setting for this memorable final event and guests were treated to delicious canapes and bowl food, as well as a flowing bar!
Our member, John Ashmele, was on hand again to announce the proceedings. Thank you John for supporting our events with your professionalism over the last few years.
Sarah Skinner photographed the event for us with great enthusiasm and humour. Her photographs all feature here.
We are looking forward to attending, rather than hosting, the UKWA events next year and to seeing you all again.
With heartfelt thanks to everyone who has hosted our events, spoken at them or photographed them - and to all who have supported our membership and ethos over the last 13 years.
