Charles and Claire's Wedding

Charles wanted a truly unique wedding party which his bride, family and friends would never dare to forget! Penni Black was in on the surprise ensuring every last detail was as gruesome and magical as possible. Guests entered the venue through an enchanted garden and were welcomed into the old and magical house with cocktails, champagne and canapés served on bespoke red platters to match the grand hall.

Even soon after arrival the magic began with tours of the haunted cellar and fortune telling. After a much needed first couple of drinks, guests were seated to tables decorated by Penni Black using red linen, black napkins flickering tea lights and black stemmed glassware. A lavish 3 course dinner was served and negotiated around table magicians and performers.

The evening had to run like clockwork with the completion of the meal at 10:00pm, just in time for Simon Drakes Showtime Extravaganza. Guests continued to be astonished by the show and could not quite believe their eyes with the decapitation of poor Charles himself. Penni Black then swiftly and discretely moved back tables to create a dance floor for guests to finish the night in style.
