table with cookies and cakes as treats for<br />
our guests. We then had the chance to<br />
mingle and dance with our family and<br />
friends before our first dance, our song<br />
was Simply the Best by Noah Reid, which<br />
Tony choose one night after watching<br />
the Schitts Creek episode it was in. The<br />
song means so much to us and our<br />
first dance was so special. After that it<br />
was the father daughter dance which<br />
was Coldplay Yellow. It’s a song that<br />
means so much to me and my dad and<br />
I am so happy we got to dance to it.<br />
Our guests were seated for the meal and Tony and I sat on<br />
the rooftop taking in the beautiful views, just me and him<br />
taking in everything that had just happened and the fact that<br />
we were finally MARRIED!<br />
We had the most amazing Toastmaster, Mike, who organised<br />
our whole day, he welcomed us into the Cunard room as the<br />
new Mr and Mrs Downey, with all our guests standing and<br />
clapping as we took our seats.<br />
Amazing speach<br />
The staff at The Bentley really do go that extra mile, from<br />
start to finish they were amazing. The food was served, and<br />
the speeches began, Tony’s two best men Ryan and Matty<br />
did so well and of course the father of the bride, Dave, gave<br />
such a heartfelt speech there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.<br />
Tony’s speech was amazing, and he did us all proud.<br />
After that, the guests went into the Port of Liverpool room<br />
were the DJ was playing the good old party tunes. Tony<br />
and I had the chance to have some beautiful pictures<br />
taken with the backdrop of the Three Graces and it was<br />
filmed by our fabulous videographer, Greg Burkett.<br />
We were welcomed into the Port of Liverpool room for the<br />
cutting of our cake, made by Delicious Cakes which was<br />
just beautiful. She also made the most amazing cake display<br />
An hour later, we were serenaded by the<br />
most unreal singer, Holly Ellison, she really<br />
is one of a kind. She had everyone up dancing to all different<br />
songs and she was an amazing entertainer.<br />
We then had the brilliant and iconic Liverpool DJ, Lee Butler<br />
from InDemand Events, he did a DJ set for 90 minutes and<br />
he played us and our guests the best tunes, we were all up<br />
dancing, having the time of our lives.<br />
"The Bentley just made it that<br />
one bit extra special."<br />
As the night ended, we went home so happy and content.<br />
We couldn’t have imagined a better wedding day, from the<br />
four years of planning with a postponed date thrown in the<br />
mix, it really was worth all the ups and downs, we couldn’t<br />
have wished for anything better. Our day wouldn’t have been<br />
what it was if we didn’t have the help of everyone involved,<br />
but the team at The Bentley just made it that one bit extra<br />
special. They totally deserve the North West wedding award,<br />
best venue Liverpool 2022 and Tony and I can’t thank them<br />
enough for what they had done for us. They are incredible.<br />
"Thank you for making our day so special"<br />
