> “I really don’t know how this happened – I qualified during lockdown, set up my business in September 2021 and immediately loved it.  
>  
> “The couples I’ve worked with, the venues I’ve visited and the suppliers I’ve met have all been welcoming.  
>  
> “To be a finalist in this prestigious wedding industry award is just mind-blowing. Thanks to everyone who has voted for me too.”
