I was at a new venue for myself Stamford House in Audenshaw I knew the place from its health , beauty and hair facilities as my wife and daughters have had nails and spray tans and my wife has taken the odd fitness class at this venue. I was unaware however on what a great function room this venue has.
I called up early and did an early set up so i knew that everything would be set up and working 100% on the night access to the room was very easy and parking was not an issue, the staff at the venue are lovely and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble and on the night i felt we worked as a team to give our mutal customers a great evening.
This was a surprise party so all the guests apart from the Birthday girl came early , as this venue has two entrances all the guests came in at the back entrance and the surprise guest came in from the front , opening a curtain to the whole family and friends shouting SURPRISE !! and floods of smiles and tears of happiness and the wonderful treat her loving family had planned.
As this was a very mixed aged group of people music went through all genres with Irish classics being stomped , clapped , dance and sung to as much as rock n roll , Motown and chart hits.
The clients were blessed with very talented singers and dancers and a few sang to backing tracks I provided . I accompanied a few of the guests with duets and then we had a irish dance performed by an angelic little girl to rapturous applause.
At the end the grand finale was The birthday girl in the centre of the dance floor surrounded by a circle of her loved ones , family and friends all dancing and singing. The look of joy on her face made my night.
lots of handshakes and thank yous was the icing on the cake, one comment that sticks in my head was a wink followed with "you'll do for me kid" praise indeed , the drive home was a good one with the knowledge of a job well done.
