TWO Craven businesses have staged successful wedding fairs.

Herriots Hotel, Skipton - which has been selected as a finalist for best wedding venue in the North of England Wedding Awards - hosted its event with the Icicle Tricycle Company

It had an American twist, featuring vintage American cars from Cherry Pie Autos and popcorn and candyfloss from Icicle Tricycle.

Sales and marketing manager Susan Wilkinson said: "With an array of suppliers and great ideas of how to make their wedding day unique, the event was a great success for both forthcoming brides and exhibitors alike."

And, Bentham Golf Club's inaugural wedding fair was well-received, with more than 60 visitors throughout the day.

Isabel Marshall, from the golf club, said: "I am really pleased with how well attended the fair was. Weddings are a relatively new venture for us so it’s been fantastic to showcase our venue to plenty of new faces and also to allow brides to see the talented people and businesses we can work with."

The club is already putting together plans for a similar event in the spring.
