Happy Birthday!

 

With so much work having been done to make Chalk Barn a first-class Wiltshire party venue, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to really show its stuff, with a 50th birthday party last month. Our glamorous client chose a gold, silver and teal decor theme, blending perfectly with the barn’s furniture, and the hall being adorned with flowers and balloons supplied by local vendors.

Guests were welcomed with themed cocktails selected by the birthday girl including a Bramble, which is a fresh short drink made of dry gin, lemon and creme de mure, a deep blackberry liqueur. The mixologist was busy all night long, and so was the DJ – another client choice.

Her preference for food was for a banquet of stations in the main hall rather than a sit-down dinner, which really helped keep the party atmosphere nice and lively. We served a mixture of Thai cuisine and British classics at the food stations, and there was an abundance of savoury winter canapés, inspired by other world cuisines circling the party venue, which went down a treat.

This was just the kind of event that Chalk Barn was built for, and most importantly, our client had a great time at her birthday party. But it also gave us a bunch of new ideas. New lighting, bigger food stalls, more decorations – creating more partnerships with suppliers to add to our offering as a top notch party venue! There will be no rest for Rachel and the team, and none for Nigel’s toolbox either…
