1. Bespoke events
tailored to you
Parties should be personal to the people behind them, so we begin by getting to know you – the things in life you love, the little details that make you happy. Then our in-house creative team gets to work.
From the theming and styling to the lighting and special audio visual effects, we craft every element to create an experience that reflects who you are. Creating moments that make you and your guests smile – and bring everyone closer together.
2. Luxury marquees
to transform any space
Marquees instantly add sophistication to any occasion – but their real beauty lies in their versatility. With the right design, you can add elegance to a garden party, set the scene for a wedding or create a festival style extravaganza!
From stretch tents and tipis to boho-inspired traditional pole marquees and sleek, contemporary frame tents, we offer a range of marquee styles to suit any occasion. Whether you're hosting at home, on a private estate, or even in a field, our fully serviced, styled, and themed marquees will provide a stunning backdrop and make your event truly unique.
3. Food design
for every taste
If people are partying, they need to be fed! But the kind of food you serve all depends on the environment. Whether you want a five-course fine dining experience, relaxed BBQ or classy canapes, we work with renowned caterers and chefs to create menus in keeping with your event.
Food and drink should always elevate the experience, with meals becoming memorable moments and colourful cocktails sparking lively conversations.
4. World-class entertainment
Live bands, magicians, opera singers, ballerinas, fire artists, cabaret acts… we have them all on speed dial. Because no event is complete without entertainment that gets people partying. Whatever mood you want to create, we’ll work our magic to make it happen. (That’s when things get really fun!)

FAQs
Explore our FAQs
How soon should I start planning my 40th birthday party?
We recommend starting 6–12 months ahead to give you the best choice of venues, suppliers and entertainment. But if time isn’t on your side, don’t worry, we can still deliver something extraordinary on a shorter timeline.
Can you help with ideas if I don’t know where to start?
Definitely! We’re full of creative concepts, whether you want to mark the occasion with glamour, nostalgia, or something completely unexpected. We’ll help shape a celebration that’s thoughtful, personal and entirely you.
Do you offer full-service planning or just parts of the event?
We can handle as much or as little as you need. From full end-to-end planning to support with styling, logistics or supplier management, we’ll tailor our service to suit your needs and preferences.
Do you only plan big 40th parties?
Not at all. But we go big, even for small or intimate occasions. Whether it’s a stylish dinner for ten or a full-scale event for 200, we treat every party with the same level of detail, care and creativity. It’s about crafting something meaningful, not just going big for the sake of it.
Can you help find the perfect venue?
Yes. For a truly unique birthday party experience, we recommend a marquee in your grounds. However, we also have access to a vast network of unique, high-end venues across the UK and beyond. Whether you’re after countryside charm, urban cool or something completely off-grid, we’ll find the perfect setting.
