Do I Need A Virtual Office Space Or A Co-Working Space?
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘running a business from your bedroom’. It used to be used to describe what young entrepreneurs did when they were just getting started, before their balance sheet was healthy enough to rent proper office space in proper business premises. Because ultimately, that’s what proper businesses did. That’s not the way people necessarily think anymore. A combination of several factors – rising rents, digital technology, increasing numbers of people choosing to start businesses or become self-employed in a crowded labour market – have pushed us all to think a lot more flexibly about how and where
How Not to Make a Song and Dance of Choosing a Wedding Band
For many couples, music is a very important part of their nuptial celebrations. For the modern bride who can’t see herself walking down the aisle to the Wedding March, picking the right song or composition to make her entrance to can be a surprisingly agonising decision - how do you pick the soundtrack to such a pivotal moment in your life? And then, of course, there is the first dance - many a couple have gone through serious fallings out over that particular choice, not to mention whether they are even having a first dance at all. And to top
Choosing the Perfect Meeting Venue
The world of business is changing. The days when a commercial organisation was inevitably defined by a set of premises in a fixed location - a shop you could visit, a set of offices, a factory, warehouse, depot or other type of operational facility - are gradually slipping away.

Is It Time To Consider The Time Of Your Wedding Ceremony?
A post on Reddit by a couple who said they were getting complaints from guests after asking them to attend a 5.30am wedding ceremony provoked enough of a furore about the etiquette of timing your nuptials that the story was picked up by a national newspaper. It’s probably not something that even occurs to most couples, until it becomes apparent that some guests are disgruntled about the time they have chosen. So what should you consider when picking the time for your ceremony? It should be pointed out that the 5.30am suggestion was in the name of a very romantic
How Many Guests Should You Invite To Your Wedding?
One of the trickiest parts of planning weddings is deciding who to invite – or, perhaps more accurately, who not to invite. Many couples agonise over how to trim down an overly-long guest list to fit with their budget and/or the capacity of their chosen venue, with worries over hurting people’s feelings leading to unwanted stress, sleepless nights and even arguments. The key thing to remember is that it is your wedding and you have the right to decide whatever you like. The purpose of the day is to celebrate the unique, special bond between you and your partner, not
Should I Bother With Wedding Fayres? Here’s How To Get The Most Out Of Them
Wedding fayres seem to attract quite a Marmite reaction. Some couples swear by them and strongly recommend that all their friends who subsequently get married go to as many as they can. Others recoil at the very thought, viewing the prospect of an entire event dedicated to wedding planning as far too much to cope with in one go. But if you are planning your wedding and haven’t attended any wedding fayres before, it is well worth considering. The key thing is to have a clear plan in mind about what you want to get out of it.
