Among those in attendance was Kerry Flint-Elkins, from Inverness, who is very much in the thick of planning her own big day, said: “We are here today for some last minute inspiration before we get married in May this year at Bunchrew House.”

Chris Boxall, an events manager with Highland Castle Entertainment, said: “We can create anything for any space and we cover everything including lighting and sound, and we even have power in marquees.”

He said customisable photo booths and selfie boxes to add some fun to the day are also proving popular at the moment and added: “They are quirky and something different for people.”

Alison White, of Alison White Photography, said she liked to meet with couples ahead of their wedding day because she could be with them for up to 13 hours on the day.
