Are you sitting comfortably?
Here's how it all started . . .
The Blue Sky Wedding Travel story began with the purchase of the Jaguar XJ6 a few years back. Whilst trying to justify its purchase to the boss (my wife Alison) I casually remarked I could use the vehicle for weddings. After much research and knowing I would be undertaking every wedding myself, I realised I could keep my prices very competitive and decided to try and appeal to people who might be on a limited budget, or those who were perhaps getting married for a second time, or for someone who just wanted a nice car to travel in without having to take out a second mortgage!!
My mother had recently passed away and I received some correspondence from the arthritis society (who were acknowledging a donation) and their stationary pictured a blue sky with fluffy clouds, this guided me towards the name Blue Sky Wedding Travel.
I took out some local advertising and with a little word & mouth amongst friends and family the first batch of weddings were entered into the diary.
I would class myself as an outgoing sort of chap and I found the whole experience very easy to do. I enjoy meeting different people and I slipped into the chauffeur role without any concerns.
In 2007 Alison and I took over the Abbingdon Guest House in York so all my efforts were focused towards making that a success. However, there were still more weddings in the diary as a result of the advertising. Once again I loved every minute of it and the feeling of satisfaction I got afterwards as the happy couple were safely at the reception was tremendous.
Now in 2010, with our B & B now established and the day to day running of it going smoothly, I decided to expand Blue Sky Wedding Travel.
A white Rolls Royce is the newest addition to the fleet and will commence work in June 2010.
The 2010/2011 diary is filling up nicely and the future is looking good.
