Inspirational weekend

Derbyshire Event & Wedding Planners have had a very packed weekend firstly visiting Bolsover Castle the truly magnificent venue for our Charity Cinderella Ball on 3 September 2011

Bolsover Castle was built in the 12th century by the Peverill family, but after years of neglect was purchased in 1553 by Sir George Talbot, later becoming the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury but noted for his marriage to 'Bess of Hardwick'. The Castle was sold on to Charles Cavendish in 1608 who set about rebuilding the Castle. His successors chose to live on their estate at Welbeck Abbey and in 1756 they stripped the lead from the roof at Bolsover to use at Welbeck. From 1883 the Castle has been unhabitable and was given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland in 1945, the property now belongs to the English Heritage.

What a great honour it is for us to host our Cinderella Ball at this stately building to raise money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. There is limited ticket availibility due to pre reserved tickets for this event what we know will be amazing in such a fantastic venue.

Moving on to meet up with Mandie at Formal & Fabulous and we nearly sat there all day watching the brides and prom girls we even picked out what kind of dress we wanted for Cinderella....

Our final pit stop of the weekend was to meet up with our competition winners Liz and Rich at their home to go through all the details of their wedding which we are really looking forward to on a Sunday in August at the beautiful Hodsock Priory in Blythe.

What an exciting and inspirational time we have had.....
