Pop Up Bar!

10 Dollar Shake vs. Hotel Bars

10 Dollar Shake have recently launched their pop-up concession bars specifically for hotel weddings.  Designed to set-up next to the hotel bar, the portable cocktail bar can provide your guests with delicious cocktails whilst keeping the hotel management happy by paying a corkage per drink.  With fantastic venues such as Norwood Hall and Banff Springs Hotel on board, 10 Dollar Shake's concession bar can add a high-end point-of-difference to your wedding and ease the burden on the hotel staff.  10 Dollar Shake will also liaise with your wedding coordinator taking the hassle out of the organisation.

For more information, please email cocktails@10dollarshake.com.

20 years of Filming

Mark Stuart began the business as a sole trader in 1991, filming weddings and doing corporate video work whilst still working full time as an Electrical Engineer. Due to the volume of work and editing time, Mark gave up his Engineering job in 2003 and went full-time into filming and editing.  Mark hasn’t looked back and has, since then, been flat out doing predominantly weddings and a small amount of corporate work. In that period DVD has come along increased the quality and appeal of wedding films and now Blu-ray HD is doing the same. Since going full time he has been fortunate to have won seven national awards and been ranked by the Institute of Videography among the top 5 UK wedding film makers.  www.ms-films.co.uk

Well Done Kirstie!
