WOULD you like a £2,000 boost towards your dream wedding? Do you want to party like the Beckhams? Swap Shopper can make your wishes come true.

I have agreed to trade the Tony Hadley meet-and-greet experience with Bromley businessman Damian Bischoff.

He will become the proud owner of the two concert tickets and the chance to meet the Spandau Ballet star after making me a too-good-to-turn-down offer.

His Beaumont marquee hire company will provide a staggering £2,000 credit for one very, very lucky person to stage the ultimate wedding reception or party of a lifetime.

If there are couples out there planning to tie the knot, families planning a big celebration or businesses looking to stage a major corporate event, this could be just the ticket for you.

Beaumont is a hugely successful company which has built a reputation for spectacular results. It really is in the premier league of events management firms, being able to list David and Victoria Beckham among its previous celebrity clients.

Damian told me what you might get for the £2,000 depends on the level of function you want to stage but in general terms it would allow you to have a party for around 150 people or a wedding for about 100 guests.

You will get high-quality service and top-notch facilities for your special event. But if you want a function even swankier then you can increase the £2,000 credit with your own money.

"It's a way for someone to have a party beyond what they would normally be able to have," said Damian, who mentioned he was a Spandau Ballet fan when he was younger.

I'm sure you'll agree this is a phenomenal trade and definitely keeps the 'bigger and better' thread of my swap chain going.

Remember, this all started just a few weeks ago with a humble News Shopper keyring.

I will be meeting with Damian next week to make the swap official.

The bidding for this fantastic opportunity starts now though.

The original goal when I set out on my Swap Shopper quest was to raise a minimum of £1,000 for charity. So, you could finish my challenge by offering to make a donation of that amount or more to your favourite charity in exchange for the marquee hire.

Or you could help keep the great Swap Shopper barter going and take it on to even greater levels by trading another item or service.

I'm open to offers.
