The Happy Couple Cut the Cake in front of a crowd of Flashing Camera's

The Rowley's Illuminated Bars looked fantastic with the Purple theme and Proved a fantastic setting for the cocktail flairer's who were very popular !

Once the Formalities had been completed the guests took to the dance floor and were entertained by the Brilliant White Keys Band
