Below are some examples of weddings we have organised.
Actor’s Wedding in Ireland
For this wedding we took over a magnificent castle in Western Ireland. Guests flew in from all over the world to different airports and all were whisked away to their hotels with military precision. The night before the wedding, we arranged a wonderfully atmospheric dinner for the groom and ushers in one of the castle’s cellars, where deep red amaryllis complemented the free flowing claret.
After an intimate ceremony at an historic local church and as dusk fell, a reception was held on the lawn overlooking an idyllic lake. Guests made their way in to a marquee at the lake’s edge for a sumptuous dinner of local delicacies. Music came from a traditional ceilidh band, which soon had everyone dancing. At midnight guests went out onto the lavender strewn deck to watch a breathtaking firework display launched from barges on the romantic misty lake.
Author’s Wedding in North London
Guests arrived from the afternoon service to the Old Postmaster’s Hall in Kentish Town for a mid summer’s wedding party. The white space was filled with hundreds of flickering tea lights and the delicious smell of honeysuckle.
Guests made their way into the garden to sample the barbeque manned by chefs dressed in crisp starched whites. In the shade of a tree, stood a quirky retro stall complete with a moustachioed vendor handing out ice creams. Guests relaxed on the terrace which was furnished with steamer chairs and garden benches, sipping cocktails shaken by our expert team of bar tenders.
As night fell, guests were drawn inside to dance by the sounds of eclectic live music acts who had volunteered their services for the evening – friends of the groom! As the party reached a crescendo, delicious savoury and sweet canapés were circulated and the celebration carried on into the wee small hours.
British Actress and Superstar DJ
Simplicity was key for this intimate spring wedding. On account of stringent security requirements, we chose a venue where the civil ceremony and following party could take place under one roof. Guests arrived to an orchard of blossom winding its way up a marble staircase to the room in which the ceremony was to be held. Yet more blossom in vast urns flanked the registry table while guests were seated on chairs covered in simple, crisp ecru linen. The aisle was defined by single stem antique roses which matched the bride’s bouquet.
The wedding lunch took place in a magnificent high ceilinged room overlooking the River Thames. Guests sat at tables covered in fine gauze cloths decorated with spring flowers and were served a seasonal lunch. As a passion fruit pudding arrived, Diptyque mint candles were lit to heighten the guests’ senses.
After lunch, guests made their way in to the adjoining library where they sat on jewel coloured banquettes which complemented the rich leather bound books. Bar tenders served chilled martinis and deliciously sour cocktails, whilst from a raised walkway above, a selection of DJs entertained throughout the evening.
Impresario and Opera Superstar
The winter ceremony took place in a beautiful church in the City. Afterwards, the bride and groom and their guests embarked on a starlit cruise up the Thames. On arrival at the Riverside venue, guests were greeted by a magical twinkling walkway which led from the boat to a converted warehouse. Inside guests were led into the romantic candle lit dining room along a deep plum coloured carpet. Tables were decorated with the gorgeous floral arrangements of olive green, crimson and ivory. Silver birch trees outside and in added a touch of nature’s winter magic.
After dinner and speeches an amazing 20 piece swing band drew guests onto a golden dance floor which surrounded a low, intimate stage framed with a sweeping asymmetrical velvet drape. Golden curved bars dispensed drinks from two corners of the room and when guests momentarily stopped dancing they reclined on elegant chaises longues.
As the bride and groom departed through an archway of sparklers, thick snowflakes tumbled from the sky, the final exquisite detail of the perfect winter wedding.
