Coleen Rooney transformed her expansive garden into a dazzling party venue earlier this month, hosting an unforgettable 40th birthday celebration that was reportedly captured for her forthcoming £10 million Disney+ documentary. With the expert assistance of Julie Perry Events, the renowned WAG orchestrated a fun-filled extravaganza complete with all the luxurious trimmings, creating a night to remember for her closest friends and family.
A Marquee Masterpiece and Artistic Touches
The festivities unfolded within a sprawling white marquee, strategically positioned in front of vast '40' numerals that were beautifully reflected on the lake within the 50-acre grounds of her £20 million Cheshire mansion. The interior walls were adorned with bespoke interpretations of artwork by The Connor Brothers, famous for their innovative spins on Penguin Classics. These personalised pieces featured phrases such as 'Friggin' Hell Girl!!!' and 'Gonna Party Like It's Your Birthday', alongside nods to Coleen's heritage, including 'Tales Of Colly Mc From Crocky'—a reference to her maiden name McLoughlin and her upbringing in Croxteth.
Star-Studded Entertainment and Guest Arrivals
Guests were treated to a special acoustic performance by Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy, who delivered hits like 'Outnumbered' and 'Giants'. The star-studded attendee list included English former footballer Phil Jones with his wife Kaya Hall, Irish former footballer Darron Gibson, and other notable figures such as Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Darren Fletcher. Arrivals made quite the entrance, with a helicopter spotted landing at the property and chauffeured cars ferrying guests to the outdoor marquee.
TV personality Leanne Brown, known from Real Housewives of Cheshire, shared behind-the-scenes glimpses, posing in a photo booth with fellow WAGs Tanya Bardsley and Hayley Fletcher. Meanwhile, Coleen danced the night away with her husband Wayne and their eldest son Kai, who both joined her on the dance floor. The event featured a stunning circular bar centred around a blossom-packed tree, framed cocktail menus, and floor signs reading 'Coleen's 40', all complemented by hundreds of bottles of champagne on ice and a strict phone ban to maintain privacy.
Pre-Party Preparations and Northern Spirit
Ahead of the celebrations, Wayne and his lookalike son Kai visited a barbershop in Cheshire, adding to the pre-party buzz. A friend of Coleen's revealed to The Mirror that she embodies a lively northern spirit, stating, 'Coleen parties like a good northern lass. She's a very normal girl at the end of the day—she just likes a good time and having fun. It will be epic.' This lavish affair not only marked a milestone birthday but also set the stage for an anticipated documentary, blending personal moments with grand spectacle in true celebrity style.
