A Festive Note from Coco…

I know it’s a cliché… but seriously where did 2017 go!

Today marks the point where we pause this blog for a few days whilst we all take some time to celebrate, reflect and make plans for 2018… For some of you your 2018 plans may involve a wedding! *happy face*

You may have read in our birthday post 2017 round up that this year was all about growing our business and this online venue collective. It’s been so wonderful discovering new places, visiting many beautiful spots, making new friends and hearing from all of you planning your wedding! It’s also been pretty ruddy brilliant seeing some gorgeous wedding photos of our couples who said ‘I do’ this year. You’ll see one or two Testimonials from our brides popping up on Instagram this week!

I’m so happy Coco Wedding Venues has become the first (stylish) step for couples on their wedding planning journey and I’m pretty excited about what next year promises.

I’m also very excited to welcome lots of newly-engaged boys and girls over the next few days and weeks… If you’re reading this and you’ve just got engaged then congratulations! We’ve got lots planned for you in January!

Wishing you all a truly magical Christmas and a super exciting New Year!

Right I’m off to eat my first mince pie and put on my dancing shoes, see you back here on the 3rd ok?
