Something Blue...


Thursday 9th September 2010

One lucky bride in Chesterfield made history when she became the first to marry at the B2 Net stadium. Covering both the  'something blue' and 'something new' bases, Claire Mandley from Hasland, married lifelong Spireite Mark Haynes in the first ever ceremony at the new ground. The proceedings, overlooking the pitch at the B2net Stadium was held on Friday 3rd September with over 200 guests attending the 'Haynes'' big day.

Claire and Mark Haynes
Since becoming a regular Spireite at the age of five, Mark admitted that it made the day even more significant for him: "I've been a supporter of Chesterfield FC for about 40 years now, so being a lifelong Spireite in this new stadium with all the great facilities has made this day even more special to me."

Bride Claire said: "The B2net Stadium was the ideal location for my Spireite mad husband, but as the venue is actually like a 5 star hotel, it will provide a memorable setting for anyone’s wedding."

Banqueting manager Gary Cook and his team prided themselves in making sure the day was one to remember with every detail taken care of, including the bride's choice of colour scheme. And it was very much appreciated by the newlyweds with Groom Mark more than grateful for the whole package that the club had provided. He said he couldn’t believe how easy it was to organise: "It was about a year ago when we were originally looking for venues and we initially thought about just having the reception here, but after talking to Gary (Cook) the question was raised about a wedding licence, so we just went ahead and booked it all up."

Mark added: "In the end we decided on having the ceremony, the meal and the evening reception here and it's been exceptional, really good fun for all."

Conferencing and banqueting manager Gary Cook said: "It was an absolute pleasure to host Claire and Mark's big day. We wish them both every happiness for the future."

He added: "As a venue we can flexibly accommodate from 10 to 300 guests and pride ourselves on providing premier facilities, exceptional service and a team dedicated to meeting the needs of our clients."

The B2net Stadium is continuing to take bookings for future weddings.
