MEET THE SPEAKERS

EAST MIDLANDS – 20th OCTOBER 2024

Toni Adam
Red Velvet Bakery

Wedding Cakes- What’s Your Flavour
(12.45pm – 1:05pm)

Toni is the creative genius and baking goddess behind Red Velvet Bakery. With a background in hospitality management as well as the luxury end of the cruise market, Toni followed her passion for baking some 8 years ago – initially fulfilling orders from her home kitchen.

Supplying executives at prestigious companies such as Rolls Royce and quickly earning a strong reputation for her moist sponge, exquisitely crafted flavours and decoration, Toni moved to her purpose-built business premises to cope with demand for her cakes, and her masterclasses on all aspects of cake making and decoration.  Thanks to her bubbly personality and ability to listen to and translate her customers wishes, Toni quickly became the preferred supplier for a variety of prestigious East Midlands wedding venues to include Kedleston Country House Hotel and Prestwold Hall. Boasting an extensive cake menu including a large choice of gluten free options, Toni’s taster boxes are in huge demand.

Whether it is a wedding for five hundred or an intimate gathering, Toni understands that the cake is the centrepiece of your day, reflecting both your taste and style and ensures that the cake of your dreams serves up something special, for you and your guests.

Toni’s Talk:
During Toni’s talk, she will be chatting about finding the right flavour for your wedding cake, whether it’s opting for traditional flavours or a multi-tiered multi-flavoured experience that just keeps giving. If you and your partner have different flavour opinions, Toni will help navigate you through flavours that complement each other to ensure everyone gets what they want on your wedding day (and it all tastes gorgeous too!)

Let Toni take you on a wedding cake culinary journey!

Anthony Gough
Disco Entertainment

Choosing the Perfect Sound Track for your Wedding Day
(1:15pm – 1:35pm)

Anthony Gough is the man behind Disco Entertainment, a 5 star rated multi award-winning DJ and Entertainment business with over 29 years in the industry.

Originally given his first set of DJ decks at just 13 years old, Anthony Gough later formed Disco Entertainment with the sole aim of providing the best party in the world for his customers.

Fast forward almost 29 years later, with hundreds of happy couples wedding days celebrated, Anthony is proud to offer couples across the UK a bespoke wedding entertainment experience like no other. 

Couples can tailor their entertainment experience, from your bespoke playlist, venue transformation uplighters in your chosen colour scheme to frame your first dance on Anthony’s starlit dancefloor, and even trying out his ‘dancing on the clouds’ effect for added atmosphere!

In high demand, Anthony has worked alongside classical band Ember Trio, finalists of Britains Got Talent, as well as Nathan James, part of rock band Inglorious.

The beauty of having almost 29 years in creating bespoke entertainment experiences for his customers means that Anthony knows a thing or two when it comes to choosing the music for your wedding. When you think your wedding DJ is responsible for upwards of six hours of entertainment on your wedding day, this could be the difference between guests leaving early or partying into the early hours.

Anthony’s Talk:
Anthony will be delving into top tips to ensure the soundtrack to your wedding is not only perfect, but truly unique for you and your partner. He will go into the important questions you should be asking your DJ and entertainment provider to ensure your wedding reception goes off with a bang!
