Hire a Wedding Planner

Filed under: England,Events,Scotland,Services,United Kingdom — Tags: , — needahand @ 5:09 pm

Hire a Wedding Planner – Organizing a wedding event can be a very stressful time, there is just so much to remember and so many things to do. To take away much of that worry and anxiety you should think about hiring a professional wedding planner to do most of that worrying for you. Wedding planners know everything there is to know about organizing a wedding and will simply take it in their stride, leaving you free to enjoy the run up to your big day. You will find that it takes a big load off your shoulders when you can rely on somebody else to take all the stress and it means that you will enjoy your day more when it finally comes around since you will be more relaxed and able to cope with the process. Simply knowing that nothing has been forgotten and that everything has been thought about and taken care of. Employing a wedding planner is not a cheap option but is well worth the cost when you think about the many benefits.

Get a DJ for Your Event

Get a DJ for Your Event – Next time you are planning a party or special celebration you should consider hiring the services of a professional wedding DJ to do the music for you and organise all the entertainment. A professional DJ will bring all his own equipment and gear with him (so you don’t have to use your own) and provide everything you need to make your occasion go with a swing. Apart from supplying the musical entertainment your local DJ will provide a top quality microphone for all those important announcements, first rate lighting system so everything looks and feels great, and may even sing or provide some other live entertainment. Once you have a DJ booked you can relax and leave him to deal with all the minor details, while you get on with organising the rest of the party. Make sure you discuss with your DJ the exact types of music you want, tell him the age group of the guests and he will be able to help you with this, also make certain you tell him the type of event and he will fashion his presentation to suit the occasion ie: wedding, birthday party or corporate event. So go out and get your DJ booked and lets PARTY…

Limousine Hire – For those special occasions and celebrations there is nothing quite like hiring a limousine to transport you to the venue. Eveyone likes to get a taste of how the other half live and riding in a limo is just one of the ways that you can get to feel that you are one of the priveledged few. Be it a wedding celebration, a party of a school prom night, there are many occasions that might call for the use of a limo. When booking your limo, make sure that you use a reputable company as there are plenty of cowboys out there offering an inferior service, which runs totally against the grain of what you are trying to experience. You want a limo hire service which runs smoothly throughout the entire experience without any hitches or hiccups, and ceratinly no disasters. You can use the link below to find the best limo hire companies in your area.

Valencia Fallas 2012 Effigy of Elvis Presley

Valencia Fallas 2012 – On Monday we took a coach trip to see the final evening of the Fallas celebrations in Valencia. We picked up in various places along the way ending in Gran Alacant which was the final pick-up. We then headed along the Costa Blanca coast passing the airport and going up the A31 past many of the old historic towns with castles such as Novelda, Sax, Petrer and Villena, then cutting through to the Font de la Figuera (Spring of the Fig Picker), and picking up the A35 past Moixent, Montesa, L’Alcudia de Crispins and Xativa before reaching Valencia, for us a journey of 4 hours (we got on at Cabo Roig).

While there are many different celebrations in the Fallas, the star of the show is the building of giant effigies which are burnt on the final night together with a massive firework display. Some of the effigies are huge (up to 20 metres high) and make fun of famous people mostly Spanish, though one of the best this year featured Elvis Presley with a number of other famous pop stars such as Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury etc. I must say the giants are amazing an it seems a shame to burn them though they do hand out some smaller sections of the figures to local children.

There was some concern over the weather on the day as rain was expected and in the event the celebrations went on in fine weather (though a bit chilly) and it actually started to rain as we got back on the coach for the journey home (and on through the night, some 6 inches of rain in all!).

We really enjoyed the whole event and the burnings are amazing, if rather smelly and dangerous, with burning pices of polystyrene flying everywhere, the fireworks were excellent, the display of flowers was amazing.

One of the favourite pastimes for visitors to the Costa Blanca is browsing around one of the many local markets, a great place to buy fresh produce, leather goods and gifts. Certainly for women (if my wife is anything to go by!), this will be on the top of their list of excursions whilst on holiday. Read this excellent guide which outlines where and when you can find the best local markets on the Costa Blanca, Spain: Costa Blanca Markets. There are plenty to choose from, and there should be at least one in your local area, wherever you are staying on the Costa Blanca.
