Brilliant Finalists for the Eventia International Awards 2008

We're keeping our fingers crossed after being voted a finalist for our "winter sports activity" entry in the BEST USE OF LOGISTICS category at the 2008 Eventia International Awards.

Jonathan and Tracey's hard work received the recognition it deserved for a brilliant client launch in Geneva for a UK top 5 bank. 20 wealth intermediaries were whisked over the French Alps in 5 helicopters to the Olympic bobsleigh track at La Plagne for team, tandem and solo bobsleigh runs at speeds of up to 125km/h. After a champagne reception, we then flew them to a stunning 14th century chateau for drinks, a four-course dinner and presentation.

Tracey's excellent attention to detail and contingency planning came into play when the weather was against them and as a result everything ran on schedule for the busy guests.

The award ceremony is on Friday 1st February 2008 - Wish us luck!

Green / Organic Themed Weddings

Ok so it's still a fairly new concept, but it's an interesting one!
This year, people have really started to experiment with going green on their big day. To break it down; recycle, reuse and reduce!!

You can go the full hog and order in recycling containers or simply make the effort to take the bottles down to the bottle bank! If it all sounds a little daunting then get advise from a wedding planner who knows what they are doing and you can work in the "green" element to this.

Some ideas to get you started could include:
Traditional craft and fair trade products
Recycling all the champagne and wine bottles
Organising transport for guests to help fuel consumption
Use local produce and suppliers
Natural materials for wedding dress / groom and bridesmaids

There are so many ways to make a difference if you want to and it really can have a positive spin on your day. Also, check out Great Green Wedding's website and blog for advice and suppliers!

Don't forget we can also tailor make green hen do's and weekends
Go on, get creative and go green!
