Chocorococo at Patshull Hall

main entrance into Patshull Hall

We supplied two of our Berry Towers for the wedding of Liz Green at the beautiful Patshull Hall.

Patshull Hall is a grade 1 listed stately home on the Shropshire / Staffordshire border, it was built in 1750 by James Gibbs and the Gardens where landscaped by Capability Brown.

The Hall is approached down a long driveway to a courtyard through a Triumphal Arch, upon entering the house you are greeted by an imposing grand front hall with iconic pilasters, raised wall panels & a beautiful stone fireplace, and an awe inspiring 19th century coved ceiling.

It is here that we placed our two Berry towers alongside the wedding cake, it made an impressive sight when you arrived at the entrance to the Hall.

Once we had finish setting up the Strawberry Towers the owner lit the fire you see in the background , this soon made for a cosy feel to the Hall, i must admit i was a little concerned that the heat may melt the strawberries, but we need not of worried, when we returned to collect the stands after a fabulous lunch at the local Dartmouth Arms pub , the guests were still enjoying the Bucks Fizz & strawberries.

delicious strawberries.

ready for the wedding breakfast.

We managed to pass on our congratulations to Liz, who looked stunning in her bridal gown .

Comments from Liz:

I have to say that the Strawberries looked amazing either side of  the wedding cake as we walked in, thank you so much.

Mrs Green’s comments ( Brides Mum)

The strawberries were absolutely superb, admired and enjoyed by the guests. They helped make it a great start to a special day. Many people have asked for your details which have been passed to them.

Thank you again.

Marian Green.

We had a fabulous day at the wedding fayre, Holiday Inn Bromsgrove last Sunday 26/6/11, it was attended by many couples looking for that something a little bit different, for their special day.

The Chocolate Fountain drew couples to our stand, wanting to taste the chocolate, someone even said they were happy to just stand  and smell the aroma of the chocolate… well, each to their own we say .

Also on display was our Berry Tower , a real winner with our couples looking for something a little different , here are a few words sent to us from a couple who have chosen to have a Chocolate Fountain & Berry Tower package as part of their wedding celebrations next year.

” Thank you for all your help & guidance received on Sunday for our wedding plans, we are both in agreement that the Fountain & Berry Tower were amazing & can not wait to have them for our wedding”

Simon & Katie

Now wouldn’t you like some delicious dipped strawberries for your drinks reception? And how about that temptingly delicious Chocolate Fountain for your evening guests to enjoy?

The day of the wedding fayre was by far the hottest day of the year , the Chocolate Wedding Favours i made melted,  as did we, then the fire alarm went off and we all had to vacate the building, ( just briefly) , but the cupcakes that were made withstood the heat & looked amazing.

Lets not forget the Mini Cupcakes, ideal as wedding favours , the perfect little bite sized treat, various designs , colours , flavours & sizes can be made by my talented daughter & her friend at The White Rabbit Bakery.

 To those who enquired if we will be at the next wedding fayre at The Bromsgrove Holiday Inn, the answer is YES, we will be exhibiting again on October 16th 2011, so if you were unable to see us this time around, be sure to see us in October. We look forward to meeting you.

We received the following comments today from Mr & Mrs Dolphin on the two Berry Towers we supplied for their wedding.

” Absolutely fabulous, all our guests were WOWED by the stands and the impact when they first walked in through the door, what a wonderful change from typical “canapes”. The strawberries tasted sweet & juicy and the different types of chocolate on them were wonderful. We will definately recommend you to our friends & families, Thank you”

Congratulations Lisa & Carl

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Chocorococo attended the wedding reception of Lisa & Carl Beetison at the Birmingham Council House , Banqueting Suite , on July 24th . Lisa looked lovely in her bridal gown, and could not wait to be let loose on the chocolate.

Guests from as far away as Fife enjoyed the evening, the chocolate and ….the first dance, which was very original. Lisa & Carl proceeded onto the dance floor to dance to a slow tune, then without warning, the tempo changed  quickly to a different medley of tunes, which they  had very cleverly coreographed different dance routines to, it literally brought the house down, the guests loved it , (just as much as the fountain.)Lisa & Carl at the fountain

Lisa & Carl’s comments, ” Wow! it looks amazing .

When we arrived at the Venue, we were asked if we had seen the flower display outside the Council House to commemorate Battle of Britain. I just had to add this picture in , we  all thought it was amazing .Spitfire all in flowers

congratulations Katie & Adam
