Memorable magic and family fun

We love nothing better than a party at Village Farm Marquees. It’s always a great pleasure to help shape an occasion that brings family members together for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

And Katy and Iggy Penna’s 50th birthday celebration at their home in August 2016 was among the most fun examples we’ve worked on.

Rain does not stop play!

The couple live in Swanland, East Yorkshire, with their daughters Oli and Isi and run their own medical supplies business. Working with one of our favourite event stylists, Cherry Williams, they chose a pink and silver theme, with fairy lights in the roof and on topiary trees at ground level. A band provided their entertainment.

Katy said: “We wanted to throw a party for friends and family and chose Village Farm Marquees from a range of suppliers because we like Tony and Chrysta as people, and were really impressed with their helpfulness and professionalism.

“Our instincts were right and we were delighted with the way they took care of everything – right down to replacing the carpets at the last minute because exceptionally rainy weather soaked our original ones.”

Attention to detail

We helped the couple pull their event together in under six months, recommending our trusted suppliers for aspects like catering.

Katy said: “We wanted all the people we love and care about to come along to celebrate with us, and have a great time and everything was exactly as we would have wanted it to be.

“It was all the little things Tony and Chrysta did along the way. They were really sympathetic towards what we wanted to achieve and answered any queries we had.”

She concluded: “This was a really big occasion for our family. It could have been a stressful thing to organise but Tony and Chrysta’s attention to detail took the worry away so that we could concentrate on enjoying the occasion with all the people who matter most to us.”

Chrysta Newman, Village Farm Marquees Co-director, said: “Parties that celebrate major milestones in people’s lives must be memorable but they should also be as enjoyable for the hosts as they are for the guests.

“We aim to take the headache out of the whole process by helping you every step of the way.”
