Adam Thomas invited to perform at the exclusive Friar's Well Estate

We perform at more than 50 weddings each year and, as a result, get to see lots of stunning wedding venues all over the world. It turns out, however, that we have a stunning venue of our own, right in our back garden (not literally!) Let me introduce you to Friar's Well Estate in Wartnaby.

A truly perfect venue to host your wedding or special event, Friar's Well is so new and up-and-coming that most are not even aware of its existence... and that is possibly its largest appeal. You could, in fact, be one of the very first!

Not only is it one of the best venues in the Midlands, with an in-house catering team that serves the most magnificent array of delicacies to the likes of Porshe and Bentley, but the beautiful surroundings and the all round character of the place make this the perfect venue for your wedding day or special occasion.

Now, you don't just have to take our word for it as Stones Events are inviting you to attend their Open Day on Monday 30th August so that you can see the splendours of this lovely venue first hand. Aren't they nice people!

P.s. *shameless plug* don't forget that if you do fall in love with Friar's Well and decide to hold your special event there, you'll need stunning wedding entertainment or perhaps a swing & soul band too! We're always on hand to assist you in any way that we can at www.adamTHOMASonline.com

 

Here are further details about the Open Day itself:

Hodsock Priory for Laura & Jonathan

A lovely day was had by all...

On Sunday we performed at the very lovely Hodsock Priory, near Worksop in Nottinghamshire for Laura and Jonathan Bullars... and what a lovely day we all had too.

We first met the lovely and bubbly Laura (along with her entourage! :)) at the Leicester Tigers Wedding Fair after a recommendation from one of our previous couples had proven enough to convince Laura that she should see a live performance by Adam. She travelled down to Leicester to see him perform and to see if she thought he could become a part of her wedding plans. Thankfully, she loved him!


The Day Itself

After arriving at the venue we realised that Laura and Jonathan had thought through every single meticulous detail and everything looked simply stunning: from the flowers to the cake, the dress to the venue itself - beautiful!

Hodsock Priory is a lovely, traditional country house and it has a real contemporary feel to the place following its renovation last summer. The house has been lovingly restored by its owner and current tenant, George Buchanan. George's family have owned the property and wonderful grounds since 1765 (Wow wee!) and he has created a magical venue which incorporates the past and present quite beautifully.

Laura and Jonathan's choreographed first dance was to Jamie Cullum's version of 'What A Diff'rence A Day Makes' and their request list was very diverse and fun (although a little heavy on Take That! - we got the feeling that Laura was a massive Take That-ite!) This video is just for you Laura:


"Adam Thomas to the stage..."

The new Mr and Mrs Bullars booked Adam to perform his Solo Show for their Wedding Entertainment and they opted to include our Wedding Disco too.

Adam performed all of his usual crowd pleasing favourites including 'Haven't Met You Yet,' 'That's Amore,' 'Ain't That A Kick In The Head' and Michael Buble's 'Everything' as the bride and groom's second dance with the remainder of the wedding party. Swing and Big Band first half over - phew!

Act Two got the party into full swing as Adam kept them all going with a blend of Soul and Pop tracks such as 'Everybody Needs Somebody,' 'All Night Long,' and 'Valerie.' As we've said before, Adam's renditions of Paolo Nutini's 'Pencil Full Of Lead' and '10/10' have really proven to be massive hits with all of his audiences this summer: they fill the dance floor every time!



Bang Bang Bang?

Now, most Father's of the Bride (or FOTB's as you planning brides call them!) request a lot of ACDC, Queen, some Robbie and maybe even a little Erasure... but Mark Ronson's 'Bang Bang Bang'!! Really?? And knowing all of the words too? Well, Laura's Dad did and it happens to be his favourite song too!! There's nothing wrong with that of course... it's just a little out of the norm that's all! We applaud him in fact! ;)

 

They Say...

Hodsock Priory is our family home (and has been since 1765). We’ve spent the past year lovingly renovating the house and we now have a sensational new entertaining space available to hire for private events. 

Whether it’s an intimate dinner for 6, a wedding for 120 or a great big bash for 500, we welcome you. Our background in hospitality, entertainment, food and wine means we are well placed to host Weddings, Family Gatherings, Anniversaries, Birthday Parties, Corporate Functions and Special Events. 

From the minute you sweep through the archway of the Tudor Gatehouse, you will have this peaceful, secluded corner of England to yourselves. You are free to entertain your guests in an informal environment where everyone will relax. Children can run around. The party can spill outside. We invite you to bring Hodsock to life.
