Brief

Jude and Paul are a professional couple who know what they don’t want. They asked us to steer away from the traditional ‘pink roses & chandeliers’ reception that they had been subjected to by others!

We selected The Terrace, a stunning new bar/restaurant with cutting edge architecture that brought ‘the outside inside’ – ideal for making the most of summer without risking the great British climate.

Summer cocktails were served at a standing reception with canapés & international bowl food, while entertainers helped guests to mingle.

The venue was dressed with spot-lit, silk cushions in opulent, rich colours scattered around the mirrored dance floor, for a cool club atmosphere. Traditional flower arrangements were replaced with exotic orchids inside giant column vases.

Icing on the cake

Jude and Paul loved beating the system. They treated their guests to a glittering night out, rather than forcing them to make ‘polite’ conversation with a total stranger over a formal, four-course silver service dinner.
