Case Studies

Hawaii 5-0 Birthday

The last of the January snow was still piled high in places, but the atmosphere (and temperature) inside Lisa’s 5-0 was tropical! Guests were greeted with one of “Lisa’s Lau Lau Lagoon” cocktails and enjoyed themed canapes courtesy of Ffres Catering. There were audible gasps of surprise and amazement at the spectacular styling provided by Sam and the team at Drape your Space. The fancy dress on display only served to enhance the atmosphere of fun and colour. Following the initial drink reception, guests were treated to an Hawaiian inspired feast served from a station in the marquee. As the mood heated up further, guests enjoyed limbo and the fantastic vocal stylings of Danny Cole. Amongst the most memorable fancy dress on display – Elvis, Dwayne Johnson look-a-like, surfers and Lisa herself was truly stunning in a creation made of palm leaves! Simply stunning event with the perfect supplier selection!

A classic wedding with beautiful vintage style & finishing touches for the lovely Laura and Matty who selected a fantastic range of suppliers to compliment their special celebration.

Kristina & Lewis

A day filled with laughter, glitter and festival inspired entertainment. Kristina & Lewis planned their special wedding weekend from afar but that didn’t stop Kristina selecting some of the best suppliers & entertainment we’ve seen. There was a real international feel to the day with guests staying on site from all over the world to celebrate with the couple. Everyone who was lucky enough to attend had a real feast for the eye with something amazing happening throughout the day into the evening. The entertainment was out of this world with special mention to Flambe circus for bringing prosecco skirts, stilt walkers, bubble blowers, fire show and even a glitter glam station that guests of every age enjoyed. Paul Pashley provided excellent singing during the daytime event with fantastic evening entertainment from The Rush. The Birdie Camper Van was parked next to the marquee to create guest images of the full-filled day.

Nigel & Sefton

A fun filled day filled with laughter, fun, family and friends. Nigel’s eye for detail meant that there was plenty of home-made or home-grown touches. Sefton’s South African roots were an important factor in the vibe & catering. Humorous touches included: a crisp wall (the couple’s favourite late-night snacks), customised black and white pictures of the couple in the toilet cubicles and even a choir of kazoos to welcome the grooms down the aisle. The couple lovingly grew hundreds of potted plants at home – they doubled as decorations/ table centres as well as wedding favours for the guests. Pictures of the couple with all the wedding guests were proudly displayed around the marquee. This was a truly laid-back wedding celebration with lots of personality and an emphasis on family and friendships.
