✨ What a night! ✨
On Sunday, I brought Café Del Rio to life in Oulton Broad – the very first event of its kind for the area. Months of planning, design, and detail went into transforming a blank, underutilised courtyard into a full Ibiza-inspired riverside experience.
Tickets sold out, which, for an event organiser, is a huge confidence boost but is also incredible for a first-time event.
From creating the menu and even a bespoke Café Del Rio cocktail to importing 2.5 tonnes of sand for a beach vibe (complete with deckchairs and straw umbrellas!) – no detail was left to chance. A last-minute giant feather flag, atmospheric lighting, carefully curated music by two amazing DJ's, and an incredible surprise dancer performance on a hand-built platform… and suddenly, you could have been in Ibiza itself. 🌴🎶✨
I welcomed guests with my glamorous hostess and even one on stilts, all adding to the immersive experience. For me, it’s these touches of creativity and imagination that turn an event into a memory.🌟
Now it’s over, it feels a little surreal – but I’m so proud of what was achieved, and the one thing I took away from this night was that people were desperate for an event like this. Everyone I spoke to told me this was exactly what Oulton Broad needed, asking when the next one is!
❤️Now, I do have to give my HUGE thanks to these amazing people..
