The Future of the Wedding Sector
Having left a career in banking Hamish spearheaded the transition of his family home, Hedsor House, into an award-winning wedding venue in 2008. Now credited as being one of the UK’s most prestigious wedding venues.
With a history steeped in royalty and revelry, Hedsor House has regularly welcomed Kings, Queens and royal children from nearby Windsor Castle throughout its fascinating 800-year history. Hedsor was the venue of choice for hundreds of highly glamorous and sensational weddings, including Royal Weddings (for members of the Saudi royal family) and celebrations for some of the most high-profile British high society figures, A-list movie stars and musicians.
At the same time as planning his own wedding Hamish became enamoured by a mission to make wedding planning easy and readily available for all, and more importantly, to make it as enjoyable as the day itself… and so Bridebook.co.uk, the wedding planning app, was born.
One in three engaged couples in the UK are now using Bridebook.co.uk to plan their wedding, with over 100,000 weddings planned in the first year since its launch, the comprehensive digital platform has taken the bridal industry by storm.
