A wedding with a difference
The client had approached us 14 months before the event date. The venue had been selected, Brixton East 1871, a nineteenth century old furniture warehouse.
The venue was a dry hire venue which meant that all catering, equipment, crockery, glass wear and décor needed to be hired in. With so many suppliers to manage on the day, the client needed specific assistance and support with coordinating the suppliers on-site and to manage the event itself.
We spent time with the client to help us understand the vision of the event.
A final set of objectives for us were defined:
As part of this project, we engaged in the following work streams
Supplier Management
On-Site Delivery
The day before the event was spent setting up the dining room. The tables laid, seating plan set and deliveries met and checked.
On the day of the event, an early start ensured we could meet and greet all the suppliers, delivery’s and complete the finishing touches. The bar and serving staff arrived and given a full briefing to ensure each element of the event was fully supported.
Guests arrived on a London bus and where greeted with 2 inspired cocktails. A chat street food cart provided the main reception snacks accompanied by some delicious Indian canapes. Guests we treated to the wonderful sounds of the Swing Nights Jazz Band who played throughout.
Guests were then announced for dinner, a cheese fondue was served which created a fun and relaxed experience. Indian sweets, ice cream, cake and champagne were all then served to complete the meal.
With the DJ, confetti cannons and glitter balls at the ready, the guests then had a marathon party which went on to 4am!
This celebration event had a wonderful feel about it throughout. It was structured, with a timed schedule of service and entertainment but the event took on a timescale that flowed from one element to the next. Our job was to ensure we responded with a seamless guest experience.
