We think the client from this event’s testimonial speaks for itself:-


“We can not thank you and your team enough. The effort, professionalism and thoughtfulness in all you did was simply fantastic. Our guests have been positively overflowing with praise and admiration. We are enjoying basking in your glory!

Please pass on our thanks to Nick, Jason, Lorcan and Paul.What a team and such energy. Oh to be young!

Clare has already said she wants a Capability Event for her 21st. Being February it’ll be a little bit more challenging! We’ve already started thinking about it….maybe a masked ball…

Once again, many many thanks.

Alyson and Clemence xx”

Party Package For 150 Guests set on a Tennis Court

This Party Package is based on one of our favourite parties of the summer which saw us organise a party for a Record Producer who wanted to celebrate the completion of building his new house in beautiful Worcestershire. His enthusiasm for the celebration was infectious and our fantastic staff really made sure that the event went with a bang. As the finished product was so amazing, we thought we’d share the basic format of the event with you to give you ideas for your own events.
