DRESS? Check. Venue? Check. Food? Check.

So you’ve got those essentials in place for your wedding. It’s going to be a fabulous day full of tears and laughter but has it got the ‘X Factor’?

If you’re struggling to come-up with ideas have a chat with A and M Events, a specialist events company that puts the ‘ding’ into wedding.

Husband and wife team Matt and Amanda formed the company around four years ago, and have had a massive response, with brides from as far away as Wales making enquiries.

As a DJ since he was only 12 years old, DJ’ing is one of the services at the forefront of A and M Events with the company being used as in-house entertainers at Woodhall Manor and Caister Hall in Norwich, as well as being recommended at many other top venues.

They can paint your venue with coloured light too, using advanced LED technology.

Another facet to the business is chocolate fountain hire. Catering for 75 to up to 500 people, the chocolate fountains are 7ft tall and presented on an illuminated flow table with an illuminated Perspex surround.

Two uniformed operators are at hand throughout to keep mess to a minimum, and unlimited skewers and napkins are provided.

Matt and Amanda only use the best quality Belgian white, dark or milk chocolate, which won’t run out during your reception.

They also guarantee that you’ll not run out of dips, which can range from marshmallows and strawberries, to the bizarre but apparently popular option of mature cheddar cheese.

As well as chocolate fountains, A and M Events also hire out and operate traditional popcorn carts, candyfloss machines (available in up to nine different colours) and self-service ice cream machines, which come with cones, sauces and a variety of scrummy toppings to devour.

They can even provide tiered cheese cakes, layered with the cheeses of your choice, decorated with fresh fruit or flowers and served with your choice of chutneys and crackers.

New and exciting services that have seen the duo take the Suffolk wedding market by storm are the candy buffets and sweet table centrepieces.

Candy buffets are an American idea, often associated with sweet 16 parties, but they are fast becoming popular for weddings in the UK.

Matt and Amanda will source sweets to your tastes and to match your colour scheme or theme where desired (a recent wedding had a seaside theme, with the couple enjoying jelly crabs, chocolate pebbles and shrimps), presenting the delights in a variety of lit martini glasses.

Table decorations and trimmings for the sweetie stall are provided at no extra cost.

And they can even provide favour boxes for guests to take the sweets home in.

Plus you can guarantee you won’t run out as 300g of sweets are allowed for per person, with all the leftovers being bagged up for you to keep and enjoy long after the big day.

If you’re after something sweet as a table centrepiece, take a look at what’s on offer from A and M Events.

You could have anything from a topiary tree of American Hard Gums, to a goldfish bowl filled with marshmallows, or a giant cube layered with your favourite childhood sweets.

This service is completely bespoke, being tailored to your tastes and colour scheme. You could even opt for candy napkin rings!
