Lisa and Martin's elopement party at Stanford Farm 11th October 2025

A Sparkling Celebration and a first for Stanford Farm

When a couple says “we do,” it doesn’t always have to be in front of a crowd—something Lisa and Martin proved beautifully during their unforgettable North Coast 500 adventure in Scotland. After secretly tying the knot amid sweeping Highland landscapes, they returned home ready to celebrate in their own unique style. On 11th October, Stanford Farm became the setting for their dazzling elopement party, a joyful reveal shared with 180 of their closest friends and family.

And if there was one thing this celebration didn’t lack, it was personality.

A Theme of Glitter Balls & Mannequins
Lisa and Martin transformed the venue into a shimmering spectacle, leaning fully into a theme that was anything but ordinary: glitter balls and mannequins. With the couple crafting much of the décor themselves, every corner of the barn felt like an eclectic blend of sparkle, creativity and humour—perfectly capturing their playful spirit. Guests were greeted by glinting disco lights, unexpected mannequin poses and a party atmosphere from the moment they stepped inside.

Pies, Mash and a “Pie-ful Tower”
For dinner, the couple turned to The Pie-oneers, who served up their signature posh pies and mash. Comforting, hearty and absolutely crowd-pleasing, the feast quickly became a talking point of the night. The standout dish? Undoubtedly the “Pie-ful Tower”—a decadent combination of chicken, pancetta and garlic that had guests queuing for seconds. It was the perfect blend of fun and flavour for a laid-back celebration.

Dancing the Night Away
With full bellies and high spirits, guests hit the dance floor to the soulful sounds of The Jets live band. Their energy kept the barn buzzing, while singer and DJ Dai Robs kept the momentum going late into the night. From soul classics to dance-floor anthems, the music set the tone for a spectacular party—one worthy of the couple’s grand reveal.

A Celebration True to Them
Lisa and Martin’s elopement party was more than a wedding reception—it was a vibrant expression of who they are. Bold, joyful, a little unconventional and filled with love. By blending DIY creativity with great food, soul-stirring music and the people who matter most, they created a celebration that their guests will remember for years to come.

A glittering night for a golden couple.
