Kara Winson is February’s Power User Prize Winner!
Congratulations to Kara Winson, our February Power User Prize Winner! Kara has won an incredible drinks reception entertainment package worth £650, courtesy of the fabulously talented Close-Up Chris. You can discover more about his mesmerising magic at www.closeupchris.co.uk.
Kara and her fiancé William are set to tie the knot on 21st February 2026.
“We both work at L.E.A.D IT Services, specialising in IT support and procurement, mainly for education. We've known each other for around 22 years and used to walk to school together every day,” says Kara.
William’s proposal was extra special, with a little help from their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
“On Christmas morning, he came downstairs carrying her, and she was holding the ring box out in front of her. She was meant to keep it hidden, but at her age, she didn’t quite understand that part!”
So far, the couple have ticked off the venue, photographer, DJ, band, décor company, and even a wedding nanny from their list.
“Wedding planning is going pretty well! Most of the main bits are sorted, and now we just need to find our outfits.”
Winning a close-up magician for their big day was a perfect surprise.
“We had been looking at hiring a magician but weren’t sure if we could stretch the budget. A close-up magician is amazing—it’s definitely something that will keep the kids entertained, which was one of our top priorities.”
Kara has found UKbride to be a fantastic tool during the planning process.
“I've mainly used it for the search features to find different suppliers, and it’s been really helpful.”
A huge congratulations to Kara and William from all of us at UKbride! We wish you a magical journey ahead as you prepare for your special day.
