Wedding Party 22/05/2010 Monks Barn, Hurley


The couple spent five weeks in Thailand where they got married.

A select few went out for the wedding. This was the party for the family and friends that couldn't make it! The party was held at the beautiful Monks Barn in Hurley.

We provided a video DJ system and a digital party photographer

We were given over 700 pics from the wedding in Thailand, to screen during reception drinks and the hog roast etc. We then also had a digital party photographer and videographer going around outside (this is where all of the guests were as it was the hottest day of the year!) The groom had made a DVD as his speech which was a 6 min video montage of the 5 weeks in Thailand which worked really well as a finale to his speech. The evening then continued with music videos until 11.30pm.

Thank you both soooo much for an amazing evening on Saturday. Will and I are both so pleased that we decided to use you guys, you really made the night. Everyone was amazed by the technology, all the pictures and everything that you guys did for us.

Thank you again, I will call you this week for a catch up but I cannot explain how great the night was, and how great you guys were.

Speak soon.

ADCCT Heaven Sent Ball - Oakley Court Hotel Windsor


SIR MICHAEL AND LADY PARKINSON HAVE A ‘HEAVENLY’ TIME AT
CHILDREN’S CHARITY BALL

Sir Michael Parkinson CBE and Lady Parkinson enjoyed a wonderful evening’s entertainment at the fourth Heaven Sent Ball at Oakley Court Hotel in Windsor on Friday, 7th May, in aid of local children’s charity, Alexander Devine Children’s
Cancer Trust (ADCCT).


Guests were treated to a stirring performance by the Irish Guards (accompanied
by their Irish Wolfhound mascot!), and a comedy slot by the Comedy Virgins.
Martin Edwards, Chief Executive of Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in Dorset,
spoke movingly about how his hospice started, and how he is advising ADCCT
as they work to build the first children’s hospice for Berkshire.

Sir Michael, Founder Patron of ADCCT was delighted to be at the event with his
wife Lady Parkinson: “I am always impressed by the sheer dedication and
commitment of Fiona Devine and her team, and at events such as the Heaven
Sent Ball, it is wonderful to see how many members of the community throughout
Berkshire come together to show support for this wonderful cause.”

Fiona Devine added: “We are so grateful to Sir Michael and Lady Parkinson for
their continued support – they help our charity in so many ways. With their help,
and the backing of the community at large, we are confident that Alexander
Devine Children’s Hospice will soon become a reality for families with children
with life-limiting conditions throughout Berkshire.”

VisualDJ provided the Video Disco together with x6 40" Plasma screens for the auction lot presentations and live camera feeds for all of the acts and entertainment on the night.

50th House Party Perthshire, Scotland



With an early morning start and a 7.5 hour drive upto Perthshire Scotland we were providing a Video Disco for Carole's 50th Party later on that night.

Carole was inviting 60 close friends and family to celebrate her 50th at home with something Perthshire hadn't seen before. Carole was very keen to transform the house into a party venue and create an unforgettable WOW factor.

It was well worth the drive as we were made very welcome and the party goers were certainly on form.

Thank you Carole for your very kind words:

I wanted to tell you how impressed we were with Max and Neil - in fact, impressed is an understatement! They exceeded all our expectations - so professional and so easy to work with.

The feedback from our guests has been incredible - the music, the videos, the lighting and the whole management of the event wowed everyone. They managed to turn our home into a great party venue - it was unrecognizable, which was what I had asked Max to do.

Max and Neil have definitely raised the bar here in Perthshire in terms of parties! We were delighted with what they did and, most importantly, how they did it - the standard was exceptional. We would be happy to recommend them to potential clients.

Hiring an events company in Windsor to deliver a house party in Perth, sourced through an internet search, is a daunting task - I didn't know what or who I was going to get. Max inspired confidence throughout the project, reassuring me that he would deliver - absolutely essential when there is no personal connection or recommendation to fall back on.

In conclusion, thank you for a fabulous event - you should definitely be doing more to market this part of your business!

Kind regards

Carole
