Cassidy Wedding - Saturday 25th July @ Lytham Hall

The sun shone on the righteous at Lytham Hall, and after a week of rain the weather proved perfect for Peter and Kelly Cassidy


As usual the marquee from Ck Marquees looked stylish and pristine and was complimented by the usual array of stunning floral displays from the brilliant Flower Design

Rowley's were on hand to prepare a unique menu devised in conjunction with the bride and groom.




















Evening guests were greeted with a glass of champagne from a specially ordered Balthazar and then danced the night away to the sound of local band, The Deadbeats, who were brilliant I have to say.


And of course Rowley's were there till the early hours ready with a fully stocked bar and a Hog Roast buffet. Yes we do our own hog roasts now with our very own built hog roasting oven.


The evening rapped up at 1am with everyone well fed, entertained and watered !

The weather changed for the better on July 18th to make way for the marriage of Richard & Lindsay Wiggleworth at Staining Golf Club.

Amongst the guests were team mates of Richards from the England Rugby Union Team.

For the more daring was a hand sculptured ice vodka luge, supervised by England Winger Mark Queto, as you can see, it was put to the test by a large crowd.


And what... even more food. Yes, Miniature Cones of Fish and Chips were served, along with a fabulous wedding cheesecake, with freshly baked breads, pickles and chutneys.

An Ice Cream van was also provided to cool everyone down after all the dancing.
