Fingers crossed for Bistro Live!

It is a very exciting week in the Bistro Live office this week as it has just been announced that we are finalists in the customer service category of the Leicester Mercury 2014 business awards!!

After winning the best customer service award in Birmingham last year and the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence, we really think we're in with a chance and obviously some of you do as well!

"This was our first time at Bistro Live in Nottingham. From the time we arrived to the end of the night when we left we had a fabulous time! The staff are really friendly, efficient and helpful. The band were great and, given that there were 40 years between the youngest and oldest in our party, did the wonderful job of keeping every single one of us up dancing all night!"

So a big thank you to all our lovely customers - we couldn't do any of it without you and remember to keep your fingers crossed for us on April 3rd :)

Bridal tips and treats!

Hi

You're going to love us! We've got a massive treat for you!!

Your wedding day is the most special day of your life and you don’t want anything going wrong, especially your makeup!  To think you’ll be reminded of it every time you look at your photographs…. shiver…what a thought!

We recently had a very interesting chat with Sheelagh Powell, one of the best professional makeup artists in the whole of the Midlands area. She was telling us about all the makeup horror stories she’s heard over the years.  From looking like a clown to coming out in a rash, it always amazes her how some brides can get themselves into these situations.

To ensure you don’t make the same mistakes, Sheelagh has kindly made available her very informative guide on…

5 Makeup Disasters To Avoid On Your Wedding Day!

We strongly advise you to download it here to ensure your wedding makeup is exactly as you want it on the day.

You might also be interested to know that Sheelagh uses airbrush makeup, a popular choice amongst celebrities such as Pixie Lott, Sienna Miller and Kylie Minogue! It involves spraying a fine mist of product onto your skin using a compressor and airbrush ‘gun’.  It guarantees to…

·         Feel weightless on your skin

·         Look flawless

·         Be smudge-proof for up to 24 hours

·         Eliminate shine in your wedding photos

We really hope you find this useful and wish you all the best with the planning of your wedding.  We look forward to meeting you and your bridal party very soon!

Kind Regards

The Bistro Live Team

Amazing Feedback!

It's pretty amazing you know!

 

Having just had the best Christmas EVER in Bistro Live history, you would think that January would be a bit of a damp squib with people recovering from the expense of the festive season and being all partied out!! But, you couldn't be more wrong. We are experiencing one of the best and busiest January's EVER, with February and March looking to following suit.  Just look at a couple of the fantastic comments we have received from people attending this month:

 

" Meal was fab staff were great cdnt help you enough and our night was one to remember"

 

 "It was a fantastic night.  We all had fun and the food was delicious"

 

Our customers are booking to celebrate all sorts of occasions, or, for nothing at all - just love coming here for a fantastic night out. For brides getting married this year, their hen night is uppermost in their minds, and enquiries and bookings are coming in in droves Yay!!

 

It's a great time to get planning your occasion, even if it's months away. We all want something to look forward to after all to while away the January blues!

 

We look forward to hearing from you soon :)

Well, we can't believe it's already the end of Summer!! We have had an amazing few months filled with hen nights and birthday parties!! But it's not over! We have so much planned coming up... with Winter weddings becoming more popular, we have had an influx of winter hen night bookings, we've got a new Glitz and Glamour theme for our Christmas parties, and soon the girls will be available at Wedding Fairs helping plan summer 2015 hen nights!

 

We hope you're looking forward to Christmas as much as we are!

Record 1000 hens through the door at Bistro L!VE Nottingham

What a result!!!!!!!! Bistro L!VE, Nottingham is set to have its most successful summer yet, catering for over one thousand fun loving hen parties in June alone. Not to mention some of our unforgettable hen parties in May such as the pink ladies, the geisha girls, and even the police ladies!

Lynn Buxton who came to Bistro Live said:-

“A fantastic night out from start to finish and every time I have been, with friends and family, a good time was had by all. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was of great quality especially considering how many people you catered for.”

The 1000 hens walking through our door will be greeted, shown to their table and enjoy a cocktail on arrival whilst enjoying a relaxed service with a superb 3 course meal.

They will then go on to have a 'high spirited' night with an entertainment line up that is sure to please with lady killers such as Boogie Fever, Bistro L!VE's favourite 70s disco band; and The Floorshakers, the UK's favourite Soul and Motown band! But this isn’t all………………………………

......most of our hen parties make a day or weekend of it - being pampered by one of our best beauticians and stopping over in one of our partner hotels. This is just the ticket to let your hair down and have a weekend to remember.

No stress involved, just choose a package and we will do the rest...

Will you marry me?

It was the easiest quiz question Jemma Thompson had ever been asked.

Jemma came to the Bistro Live Fun Pub Quiz in April when boyfriend of three years, Baz, went up on stage to ask her a bonus question for a bottle of champagne.

He called her on stage, but instead of reading from the quiz card, he got down on one knee and asked: “Will you marry me?” Stunned Jemma was overcome with tears, but did not have to think about the answer – or make an educated guess. In a recent interview by the Leicester Mercury, the 23-year-old said: “I was just so shocked. I was thinking I couldn’t believe he’d done that. “Then I cried and I went to kiss him and said, ‘Yes’.”

Baz had contacted the Bistro Live Leicester team earlier in March and expressed his interest in doing a dramatic proposal, he said: “I knew it would be something Jemma would remember.  “After the main quiz had finished, the quiz master picked me and got me on stage to ask one of my team mates a bonus question, so I asked Jemma up. “She came up on stage thinking I was going to ask the question on the card in the envelope I had. “But instead, I told her how much I loved her and everything, then dropped to one knee and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ “The place erupted. Her hands went up to her face and she was really tearful and happy…”

So Jemma may not have won the Bistro Live Fun Pub Quiz prize but she definitely left with a smile from ear to ear! Congratulations to the couple and we will see you Jemma for your Hen Night!!

Wedding Exhibition a Great Success

Bistro L!VE recently attended a wedding exhibition at Leicester Tigers Rugby Club. What a great day ! Attending for Bistro L!VE were Leah Spicer, Mandy Loader and Hayley Gardiner. Armed with pink goody bags, (see picture) the Bistro L!VE stand was certainly the most popular for all visitors, especially as we were offering the opportunity for potential brides to win their hen night for free.
