Special Occasions

Check this out.......If you are looking for favours that are completely different than anything you've seen before, "Truly Scrumptious" offer favours reminding you of the 60s and 70s and before, from sherbet dips to liquorice all sorts. As for the Mums and Dads, don't just 'pop' in because your nostalgic buds just come flooding back. You will find that an hour later you will be remembering those old stories with the owners, who also love to reminisce of how we used to spend 4 hours trying to get through a penny gob stopper...Remember ?
This is a fantastic little shop in The Old Town of Poole, the owners would love to see you and help you choose from 100's of sweets all wrapped as we used to remember. So as we said before, this is a must.......check it out.

Steel Band and Disco

Casso Sound Disco

I have to say that we were really impressed with this idea, a STEEL BAND! Listening to these guys play was a real treat, it had a relaxed Jamaican feel about the whole place and before we knew where we were, everyone was wiggling their bottoms to the sound of reggae and middle of the road tunes. This is a must for outdoor weddings. To top it all they are equipped to stay for the evening and look after your disco needs catering for all music from the 60's to present day if required.
They don't have a web site at the moment but you can contact:-

Milton Abbey & Boy's School

As you drive through the villages in the heart of Dorset heading towards Milton Abbey and sitting at the top of the hill looking down the road looking at the 200 year old Abbey in the distance, you just know that this is where you would just love to get married. Words simply cannot portray how you feel as you walk through the Abbey doors. After visiting the Abbey, allow Rosemary to show you round Milton Boy's School where she will help you organise your wedding breakfast and if required your evening entertainment. Apart from it's many 'Wow Factors', we were really impressed with how friendly the staff were with the guests. They made a special effort to make everyone feel at home and create a friendly atmosphere.
