CLA’s London Branch event will be held on Tuesday 20 September from 6-8:30pm at Saffery Champness, 71 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4BE.

 Our guest speaker for the evening is Ed Coke-Steel, Development Director of Cripps & Co. For over twenty years Cripps & Co have been opening wedding venues throughout the UK, through restoring beautiful old barns and walled gardens.

Each venue is unique and has its own selling points, the majestic oak beams at The Tithe Barn on the Bolton Abbey Estate, the modern pavilion at Thorpe Garden on the Thorpe Estate and the imposing double front towers at Hazel Gap on the Welbeck Estate.

 

Each of the nine Cripps & Co venues hold more than one hundred and twenty weddings per year and individually bring in over 10,000 customers annually to these rural areas.

 Ed will walk you through how Cripps & Co have been able to transform old buildings into a thriving wedding business and provide guidance to those wishing to embark on a similar business venture. If you would like to bring along your own plans or details of potential venues, members of the Cripps & Co team will be on hand to give you valuable feedback.

 The talk will be followed by a drinks reception.
