Your East Anglian Wedding - August/September 2026 (Issue 80)

AMY ANNABELLE EVENTS CELEBRATES SECOND YEAR OF CREATING SEAMLESS WEDDINGS Amy Annabelle Events is marking the halfway point of its second year in business, and what a journey it has been. From rustic barn celebrations and elegant marquee weddings to private family estates and traditional church ceremonies across Norfolk and Suffolk, owner Amy has been helping couples enjoy calm, organised and stress-free wedding days. One particularly exciting milestone came late last year when a wedding Amy coordinated in August 2025 was featured in British Vogue. It was a proud moment and a wonderful reflection of the exceptional celebrations she has had the privilege of bringing to life. Specialising in on-the-day wedding coordination, Amy works discreetly behind the scenes to ensure months of planning come together flawlessly. From managing suppliers and overseeing venue set-up to keeping the day running to schedule and handling any last-minute challenges, she allows couples to relax and savour every moment of their celebration. This season also sees the return of the popular Bridal Bestie package. Ideal for couples who don’t require full on-the-day coordination but would appreciate an experienced helping hand, the service provides practical support throughout the wedding. Whether assisting with dresses and accessories, keeping essential items close by, helping during photographs, running last-minute errands or simply offering a reassuring presence, Bridal Bestie ensures couples can enjoy their day without unnecessary stress. Whether planning a luxurious country house wedding, a dry-hire barn celebration or a romantic garden marquee reception, Amy Annabelle Events is dedicated to ensuring every wedding runs effortlessly, leaving couples free to create unforgettable memories.

Over the past few months, the team has had the privilege of catering weddings at breathtaking locations including Histon Manor, Burnt House Vineyard, Fulbourn Manor, The Wedding Barn at Old Hall and a collection of beautiful private homes and marquee celebrations across Cambridgeshire and beyond. The Modern Table has become known for creating food that’s both beautifully presented and genuinely memorable, combining seasonal ingredients with warm, personal service. Whether it’s handcrafted canapés served in the sunshine, generous sharing feasts, colourful grazing tables or refined wedding breakfasts, every menu is created from scratch rather than chosen from a fixed package. Founder Liz and the team pride themselves on building genuine relationships with their couples, working closely with them throughout the planning process to ensure the catering feels as personal as every other part of the day. With enquiries for 2027/28 weddings already arriving, The Modern Table is encouraging newly engaged couples to secure their date early.
