Past adventures and future possibilities! Thank you to the Four Seaons for hosting us this weekend: it was fantastic to be back in their Florentine palazzo and be reminded of past celebrations we’ve planned with them in this magical, medieval city.

This was K&B’s garden ceremony with the unique backdrop of the Duomo in the late spring sunshine. Soon the couple embark upon their greatest adventure: parenthood! We are so thrilled for them and reminded what a privilege it is to be part of our clients’ journeys.

We are celebrating an exciting new chapter in our business which has transitioned to employee ownership. We have done this through the establishment of an Employee Ownership Trust - becoming, to our knowledge, the first social events planning company to adopt this model.

Since the company was founded in 2006, our work has always been about people: our wonderful clients, our trusted industry partners, and the remarkable team behind every celebration we produce. Moving to employee ownership ensures that the future of the company is shaped by the talented individuals who bring creativity, expertise and dedication to every event.

For our clients and event partners, the transition means continuity, stability and the same unwavering commitment to curating and delivering extraordinary celebrations.

For our team, it represents a meaningful investment in the future of the business and recognition of the collective contribution that has built our reputation over the past two decades. We are all proud of the legacy we have inherited and what we have achieved together over the past year as we moved towards this momentous step. We are all excited for what the next chapter will bring.

Thank you to our clients, event partners and friends around the world who have been part of our journey and for all your kind words as we enthusiastically navigate this change.

Dancing into forever… 💫

The design for the dining area dance floor at C&M’s wedding within the two-thousand year old Villa Adriana, was inspired by one of the original Roman mosaics found there. When dinner was over, DJ Raymond emerged from Hadrian’s Baths, backlit amongst the archeological ruins, to play the evening away until the sun rose upon this ancient, historic site… 🌟

Designing and constructing a reception amongst the magnificent ruins of the Roman Baths at Villa Adriana, whilst protecting the integrity of the site and staying true its spirit, was a challenge we were pleased rise to! ✨

The shared vision amongst us all - the client and the creatives on the project - was to invoke the atmosphere of a modern Roman banquet. For the dining area, simple table-scapes were adorned with apricots, grapes and floral garlands inspired by the relief sculptures on the Ara Pacis Augustae in Rome. To complete the scene, huge olive trees were constructed in situ to reflect the preexisting landscape.

🏛️A huge shout out to the specialist, scenic designers and our production teams on this project who disguised the event infrastructure so authentically. We don’t think you can tell where the ruins end and the back of house, catering and guest facilities (all necessary to deliver an event on this scale) begin… 🙌🙌🙌

This wedding at Villa Adriana was a first, with us taking over this UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety. The challenges were numerous: how to create and deliver a design that was sensitive to the surroundings whilst protecting the integrity of this two-thousand year old location. Curating a meaningful experience for guests whilst we moved them through what is a vast, archeological site. And crucially, never compromising on the agreed objective: “We were driven by how we wanted the event to feel rather than how we wanted it to look.” says Cati. "Sarah and her team understood this perfectly and delivered beyond our expectations.” ✨

The wedding of Cati Vlad and Morgan Aguiar-Lucander at Hadrian's Villa in Rome required some serious fashion to match the historic location.
