My press release

I've had a few people ask me for a copy of my press release recently so I have included it here for you to use as you wish.


Forsaking all others untangles the plans so brides can tie the knot

A new wedding planner has opened for clients in the Sussex, Hampshire and surrounding areas.

With a diploma in wedding planning, Victoria, who trades under the name Forsaking All Others offers a range of services from complete and comprehensive wedding planning to ad hoc tasks, including venue and supplier sourcing.

Victoria has a long career background in customer service and hopes that this experience, along with her brilliant negotiation and organisational skills will stand her in good stead in a highly competitive industry.

“I believe that every wedding should be unique” says Victoria “and by using my skills, and by getting to know the bride and groom I can create a day that that my clients will cherish and their guests will remember forever.”

Victoria already has a vast wealth of knowledge of venues and suppliers and thinks nothing of going that extra mile to find that special place or item saying:

“If I don’t feel a venue or supplier is right, I’ll endeavor to find one that is perfect for the occasion.”

Forsaking All Others is not just another wedding planning company. Forsaking All Others is THE wedding planning company.

There are many reasons why you may require the services of a wedding planner. Perhaps you just do not know where to start with planning your wedding or maybe you just do not have the time. Perhaps you have still to find that special venue or maybe you need someone to co-ordinate suppliers and relieve the pressure many brides feel on their wedding day.

Similarly, if you require full wedding planning, then we will work within your budget to ensure we can cover everything.

Chimney Sweeps

We have all heard that meeting a chimney sweep on the way to your wedding is lucky but not many of us know how or why this tradition came about.

We cannot be sure when the tradition of a chimney sweep came about, but its been around for centuries. The chimney sweep is meant to bring good luck, health and happiness to the bride and groom as well as to sweep away troublesome spirits.

In the 18th century, King George was saved from a bolting horse by a chimney sweep and thus decreed that all chimney sweeps should be honoured. This enhanced their reputation further.

Over the years, the tradition of meeting or shaking hands with a chimney sweep has grown and even our own Royal Family have honoured this tradiion. On the night before he married the Queen, Prince Phillip himself left his home to shake hands with a chimney sweep who "just happened to be passing".

Like many traditions, this one is in danger of being committed to the history books. Perhaps this is due to the dying need for a chimney sweep for his real uses.
