BEFORE WE TALK

A few
good questions.

Can you work in a private home?

Where the space and local rules allow it. We discuss access, equipment, noise limits and service arrangements beforehand.

Can we ask guests not to share photographs?

We can agree a photography policy and communicate your wishes to the team and guests.

Do we need a formal programme?

No. A thoughtful setting, good service and the right musical atmosphere may be enough.

Before we plan the details

Useful questions about the scope, preparation and provider terms.

Who this format suits

For hosts who want to gather their own people and keep the evening personal. A home, terrace or separately agreed venue can shape the format.

How planning works

We begin with the atmosphere and guests, then agree the setting, hospitality, music, lighting and pace. Venue restrictions, finishing time and supplier access are clarified beforehand.

How the budget is calculated

The estimate depends on guest numbers, setting, duration, food, drinks, styling and music. Equipment hire, delivery, installation and cleaning are itemised when part of the agreed scope.

What to include in your enquiry

  • Occasion, setting and guest numbers.
  • Music preferences and the desired energy.
  • Food, drinks and dietary requirements.
  • Noise limits, timings and access for the team.
