It's true, Christmas is well and truly on it's way, and here at Bistro Live we're about to begin our Christmas Party season!
But that doesn't mean your hen night has to suffer - we're still taking hen night bookings and we're here to ensure you have a fantastic night! We can even decorate your table with hen decorations to make sure everyone knows that you're definitely NOT a Christmas party! (charges apply)
With over 20,000 people booked in for their Christmas parties we're in for a fantastic few weeks of partying - the perfect atmosphere in which to celebrate your last night as a single girl!
And the good news is, after taking in calls for the Christmas balances over the last two weeks a lot of parties have released some of the places they were holding, so we now have some new availability for Fridays & Saturdays in November & December!
So if you're looking for the perfect venue for your hen night in Leicester, Nottingham or Milton Keynes check out www.bistrolive.com to see what's on!

Planning An Autumn Hen Night in Leicester, Nottingham or Milton Keynes?
It's official- autumn is well and truly here! The leaves are falling from the trees, it's getting dark early and the nights are getting colder...
So when you plan your hen night, you're going to want to choose a venue that has everything all under one roof.
Imagine having to troup around from bar, to restaurant, to more bars and then clubs- heels will be hurting, people will get lost, there will be disagreements about where to go next and there is a strong possibility it will not only be cold, but also pouring down with rain!
You don't want to do that!
So choose a venue such as Bistro Live, where you can spend the whole night drinking, dancing, eating and enjoying some fabulous entertainment- all under one roof!
Check out www.bistrolive.com to find out more about the fabulous hen packages and to see What's On at our venues in Leicester, Nottingham and Milton Keynes!

Fantastic hen weekends in Milton Keynes!
I've just had some great feedback from a group of hens who took advantage of package three (click here for more info) at our Milton Keynes venue last weekend!
We've recently started using a fabulous new spa company called Headonist, which is just around the corner from Bistro Live, both of our partner hotels and all of the shopping attractions in Milton Keynes!
This weekends ladies enjoyed a fabulous morning of retail therapy, checked into their hotel at 2.00pm (where they received a glass of sparkling champagne on arrival) then made their way to the spa where they were pampered by the lovely ladies at Headonist.
Every guest chose one treatment from each list.....

Another Happy Bride-to-be!
Good Morning!
I've just got into work and found this lovely email in my inbox:
"Hi Leah,
May I take this opportunity to thank you and your colleagues for providing such a wonderful evening for my hen night. I had such an amazing time and wouldn't have changed it for the world! All of the staff were brilliant and made me feel so special, particularly Dan who went out of his way to ensure our enjoyment in the most professional manner.
Once again, may I personally thank yourself and Wendie for all your help throughout the organisational process of my weekend
Kind Regards,
Dawn"

So, where to start?
Hen Checklist
- Make a list of people to invite
- Decide on what type of activity would be best for all of the guests- bear in mind that there will be different age groups and tastes!
- Select a location that is easily accessible for the whole party, and if people have to travel try and find somewhere that offers a hotel package
- Make enquiries and provisional bookings
- Create and send out invites- if a deposit is required, make sure you collect this with the RSVP and put a clear deadline on the invites.
- Give out your contact details so that you can answer any queries about directions, accommodation, etc
- Make sure that everyone knows exactly how much it will cost, and let them know how and when payment should be made.
- Prebook everything where possible, especially if there is a large number in your party! If you can, find a pre-pay venue so there is no worries about money on the night.-
- Make sure that everyone knows exactly where you're meeting
- Give out your mobile number to all guests in case of any last minute queries
- Arrange transport beforehand to avoid hassle on the night!
