We briefly met but mainly heard vintage music guru DJ Jazzlord (aka Leon Maclean) when he played A Most Curious Wedding Fair recently. We loved him - his music and his style (and his sideburns to boot!). He plays original black music with its roots in jazz; Rhythm 'n' Blues, Jamaican Ska, Cumbia, Afrobeat, Soul, Funk, Latin and World Jazz. Wow...! He has been a rare vinyl collector and DJ for over 13 years and prides himself on playing original quality music. If you want to fill your wedding floor or just want a relaxed atmosphere, Jazzlord is your man. Find him at http://djjazzlord.com/# or call 07984 160037

We recently met the lovely Reginal Spleen and his Travelling Snuff Bar at A Most Curious Wedding Fair. What could be a more unusual idea for a wedding or stag do than to try a bit of snuff.  And not just any old snuff! Reginald can offer you 18 flavours (and adding more all the time apparently!) of ground flavourerd tobacco (most of it contains nicotine although there are nicotine-free versions too). We weren't sure how to take snuff but

Last week we told you about Villa Cernobbio, and this is another beautiful venue from Class Venues Service. This offers you the historic beauty of a private villa but with the services offered by a small hotel.  There are 32 rooms that could accomodate up to 75 of your wedding guests - image the weekend you have!! Like Villa Cernobbio, the terraces offer panormaic views of the lake and you can have a civil ceremony on one of them, or alternatively there is a little church only 200 metres from the villa. If the weather is fine (which of course it mostly is!) you can have the whole ceremony outside.  In case of bad weather there are two really elegant internal halls.

We are so excited about this new addition to our venue portfolio! Villa Cernobbio is an amazing private villa dating from the 16th century, sitting on the shores of Lake Como - and we cannot imagine a more romantic place to have a wedding.  The villa is situated directly on the lakeshore with a panoramic view, and also offers several different terraces which you could use for both a romantic symbolic ceremony and your reception.  As well as the lake the villa has its own beautiful garden with baroque fountains.  This venue is part of Class Venues Service, based in Italy,
