Her sharp eye has also won over many-a-bride, hosts, and corporate brands.

Your journey with the team starts with an in-depth chat about your vision – where will the balloons go, what flowers are non-negotiable, and what quirky signage you can’t go without? The important stuff. They have a roster of brilliant venues across the South East that they can recommend. From fairy tale estates (hello, Froyle Park) to literal castles (ahem, Chiddingstone Castle to name one) and manors. Plus, they have tried-and-tested suppliers at hand, so you are starting your venue plan with a great blueprint of businesses. Even with all these quality businesses in the mix, your ideas take priority. The team can bring your bid day to life accommodating your budget.

The team’s nine years of experience means they are constantly researching trends and stocking up on chic pieces – whether you’re hosting a rustic affair or leaning into maximalist decor, you’ll find something for your aesthetic. Their stock includes centrepieces, flower walls, neon signs, chair decorations, chandeliers and furniture. Dust off your Pinterest board and let the experts do the leg work.
