I LOVE Lanwades Hall, I work there a lot and enjoy the atmosphere of working in such a beautiful house. So when Rosie and Mike asked me to provide the entertainment for their evening reception, I jumped at the chance!
And what an evening it was!
Lanwades lends itself to a smaller style of setup due to space constraints. The room not being very big, a larger setup would be overkill.
Cake cutting done and dusted, and we’re into the first dance – Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.
And then it’s time to party!
And party the guests most certainly did with requests aplenty and a very full dance floor for the evening as the images show.
And I must have done something right, because I received the testimonial below from Rosie and Mike a couple of days later
Some Photos
It was a busy night on the dance floor, and here’s just a brief snapshot of how things looked from my side of the DJ booth.
