Events that run to the minute.

Private dinners, launches and company days, planned by two people who have stood at the back of a room with a clipboard more times than they can count.

Rooms we have set

An hour before the doors open.

A long table at dusk with taper candles and place cards — A birthday dinner for forty, in a barn

A floral installation with gold hoops over a head table — A launch with a floral arch

A black banquet table with white feather centrepieces — A black-tie dinner, panelled room

An empty stage lit in pink and purple — A company awards night

Round dinner tables in a wood-panelled room — A charity dinner for two hundred

How a night unfolds

Every minute has a name next to it.

This is the sheet the whole team works from on the night: caterers, band, venue and us. You get a copy the week before.
