Weddings At the "Wilton's Music Hall" July 2010

This weekend saw another beautiful Wedding which was a real pleasure to caterer for at my favourite location “The amazing "Wilton’s Music Hall.”The venue was beautifully lit and simply but brilliantly decorated by the florist from “Sweet Peas Flower”. Wilton’s is the world’s oldest and last surviving grand Music Hall. For anyone who loves theatre and vintage glamour, this place is an enchantment. Shabby chic at its absolute best! Wilton's has had a long and colourful history. It has been the haunt of Victorian sailors (and their ladies), become a Mission, survived two world wars, been a rag warehouse, been long forgotten and has ended up as a theatre once more. Through the decadent barley twist columns one can still hear echoes of Champagne Charlie and Can-Can girls. Nowhere else will you find the same atmosphere and charm of this hauntingly beautiful, dilapidated building.The Bride and Groom where so lovely it all made it the perfect party in a amazing venue...

It was a really hot summery day and at 3pm the reception drinks started and guests arrived from all over the word. They entered the venue to discover the beauty of Wilton’s Music Hall with a glass of Procesco and succulent canapés for our new menu

The entire party had a great evening and enjoyed the hot weather mingling and drinking on the cute alleyway in the front of the theatre... They also enjoyed the opening of the evening bar and the dancing.

As a wedding cake the bride and groom had chosen their favourite cheeses to have a cheese cake tower. This is a really good alternative to a Wedding cake as we serve the cheese for the evening buffet. At this Wedding the evening buffet was also accompanied by delicious fairy cakes.

The happy bride, groom and guests departed at midnight to enjoy the rest of their night in another venue.... A beautiful wedding reception with happily married Bride and Groom and another successful Event for Easy Gourmet....
