They really got the party started and mum had the best night. As suspected, she danced the night away. We had such lovely comments from our guests and I know the evening couldn't have gone any better, so please thank them both again from all of us. Would highly recommend.read moreNed Davis2019-11-21T11:39:13+0000Sorted a surprise Charleston lesson as a gift for my wife, and it was fantastic! Kim-lin was incredibly friendly and helpful, not to mention efficient, and our teachers Graeme and Ann were just amazing - made us feel completely at ease despite us being not exactly in our comfort zone with dancing... Can't recommend highly enough, for any occasion!read moreHannah Slater2019-09-25T22:04:17+0000I booked 2 dancers, Velody & Joe for my 1920s themed 30th and they were marvellous. I had a vague idea in my head regarding presentation and purpose of their routine/lesson in the middle of a party so my brief was probably not the best, but between Kim-Lin and the dancers they did a brilliant job. I got a load of great feedback from my guests too. Very impressed with the service. I wish I’d got some photos or videos but I was too busy being involved 😆🙈read moreLaurel Howells2019-08-04T18:38:11+0000🌿🥂 We had an absolutely amazing day for a larger party of 19 hens yesterday with Vintage hen parties! Everyone had a hoot! The bride to be was chuffed to bits with the day we planned at the Elizabethan style Manor House we hired for the day! It was a beautifully picked setting with lots of greenery, outside space, wood cladded dining room and heated outdoor pool, which fitted the bride and overall vibe down to a tee! The afternoon tea looked beautiful set up! ☕️🍰 and we opted to include an etiquette class in our day package and it was extremely funny, energetic and inclusive of all 19 hens! We had a piano player in the room as well which was a perfect accompaniment to the tea and atmosphere. Everyone keeps talking about the amazing day they had and how beautiful the afternoon tea and Manor House setting was! The booking process was friendly, easy and we felt that all of our needs were met, and Kim-Lin did her best to suit our plans! Thank you again!read moreHelen Savery2019-06-27T09:33:12+0000We had a surprise Charleston class for our Hen! All 11 of us took part!

It was an absolute hoot - we had 9 girls and a guy taking part and it was such fun, even with our collective lack of experience!

We also opted for the hair and make-up (done by another Holly) for those who wanted it, which was great. Whilst the girls were having their hair & make-up done we did our own afternoon tea and played hen party games in the village hall which seemed to go down well with everyone and all had a fab time.

To quote Craig Revel Horwood it was FAB-U-LOUS!! Anna, the dance teacher, fully immersed herself in all things 1920's, and us for that matter.
