So I love a party, and any excuse to decorate. In the states there is my dream, a land called Party…read moreCity. That has any decorations you can ever imagine. My 9th birthday party, had high heel and lipstick everything, I am talking, napkins, cups, confetti, streamers. Needless to say I like my party shops. This place is pretty great, which was evident on arriving at 9.55am and there being about 4 other cars in the parking lot waiting for the place to open at 10. I was looking for silver wedding decorations, the other cars a mix of baby shower and kids birthdays. The shop is on two floors, the lower is balloon heaven, with two walls of pick your own balloons, and plenty of decorations for any wedding, hen-do, baby shower theme. Upstairs is the kids party area and endless costumes! Perfect, if you need to pick up a costume not during the Halloween season. They also provide helium services and can make balloon bouquets, on the day. They also had a section of balloons to be picked up later, which is perfect if you want to pre-order and then pick up the day of the event. I also saw a sign for fireworks, but didn't investigate further!

My wife and I wanted to host an outdoor wedding celebration for around 120 of our family and…read morefriends. We wanted to do something unusual and off the beaten track. We definitely did not fancy having it in the function room of a hotel or in the local village hall. We came across Special Event Tipis on the internet as they are based near to where we live. We asked them for a quote along with some of their competitors. They gave us a great price but most importantly they got back to us really promptly and were extremely friendly. They never tried to pressure us an invited us to go and meet them at an open day. Once we saw the Tipis for ourselves we had to have them. They are absolutely stunning in themselves however David and his team have found out how to make them look their best. They have lighting rigs, fairly lights, disco balls etc which integrate really well. They were also able to provide a sound system which was AMAZING. We opted for a two Tipi setup with one as a dance floor and the other as a seating area with fire pit. The fire was a real focal point on the night of the party. David and his team were a pleasure to deal with both in the build up to the event and during set up / take down. Go and see them for yourself at one of their open days, you will see what I mean.
