Charity Cheque Presentation

Eventually we managed to pin down a day where we could all attend for a presentation photograph. We raised £1,200 and that included a kind donation of £400 from National Grid presented by Daryl Budworth.

This cause is so close to our heart and we love helping wherever we can, this Charity is also one of our chosen charities for 2013 alongside Ashgate Hospice another local charity.

Charity Summer Ball in aid of NHBCH

 

In September we held our annual Charity Ball and this year our chosen charity was for the very inspirational Wendy Watson who has spearheaded the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline, won Tesco Mother of the Year and also successfully published a book about her struggles to raise awareness called 'I'm still standing'.

The event was a complete sell out and we had a fantastic night which included a drinks reception, 4 course meal, silent auction and entertainment from:

• Female vocalist Melissa Amy Lye currently studying at Sir Paul McCartneys Performing Arts University (LIPA)
• Swing male vocalist Chris Heathcote
• Female vocalist Laura Ashby recent winner of Chesterfields 'Search for a Star' - Laura released her debut single on 1st October 2012 to coincide with the 5th anniversary of Help for Heroes charity. All profits from the sale of the CD will be donated to the charity.
• Headline Band - 'BOYZALOUD' a 4 piece local Take That/Westlife tribute band who have played our events before and never dissapoint the guests
• Tenacious DJ finished the event into the early hours

The event raised £1200 towards NHBCH for the continued awareness raising that Wendy and her gang of helpers do tirelessly.

Looking on with fondness at the weddings we have done this summer:

Laura & Andy
Gemma & Tom
Liz & Rich
Hayley & Marc
Jess & Steve

We have also organised very successful Tribute events at the 4* Casa Hotel which have included Michael Buble and Take That nights both sell out events. We had great fun at the 2 Casino events we organised at Grassmoor Golf Club and Rufford Park Golf and Country Club. However, one of the highlights was our Charity Cinderella Ball at Bolsover Castle which was a showstopper, amazing setting with fabulous food and entertainment with some superb support of other suppliers.

2012 starts with January meetings with some of our Bride and Grooms already booked in with us, our Cabaret Event on 4 February, we have secured the singers from Bjorn Again for our Abba Tribute on 5 May and we have our Charity Ball on 29 September at Casa Hotel this will be very glitzy and our charity for 2012 is for the Helpline for Hereditary Breast Cancer again.

Raise a glass with us and a Happy New Year to everyone.......

Cinderella Ball

Our guests arrived to a drinks reception and canapes provided by Taste Cuisine and the sound of the string quartet - A touch of Class.

Having exclusive use of the castle meant that guests had the opportunity to have photograps in the grounds, alongside the vintage car and explore the little castle.

On display was the spectacular Cinderella Cake designed by Candy of Love Candy Cakes and the silent auction by Celebre Art.

Entertainment was led by the HMS Royal Marine big band Singer Brian Lloyd who has been entertaining the troups in Afganistan until 2 days ago. We also had the DJ from Tenacious DJing.

In true Cinderella style at midnight guests descended onto the Dukes Drive and off into the night.

A heart felt thank you to all our suppliers for supporting this event.

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.....

Masquerade Ball

The Masquerade Ball at Grassmoor Golf Centre definately was a night to remember.

Wendy Watson and Becky Measures and their guests joined the ball goers as they danced to the fabulous entertainment provided by Michael Moore, Donna Ramsdale, Lee Hutton and Melissa Amy Lye. Grassmoor Golf Centre had the food and drink flowing freely all evening and James was kept busy on the Cocktail Bar as the guests partied the night away.

Love Candy Cakes showstopping cake took centre stage for guests to guess the weight and the winner took home the delightful 5 tier cake.

The official photographer Andy from Studio 1 Photography was kept very busy all evening as he captured the essence of the event until the early hours of the morning.

A few sample photos with the official photos to follow.
