Less can be more when it comes to making an event truly sparkle, so I like to start with getting the basics pitch-perfect. I focus on the guest experience — from arrival to departure — and the
 importance of each interaction along the way. From the dapper butlers who answer the door and take coats, to the texture of the cocktail napkin fabric, the music, scented candles... These finer details will engage all the senses and, when they are perfected, alongside the wider food, drink and ambience, then you have created a glittering and memorable occasion.

Choose a sparkling 
location — such as Gibson Hall with its gold ceilings with theatrical domes,
chandeliers, gold emblems surrounding the walls and golden yellow curtains which remind us of a fairy tale. Being in a commercial area means you do not have noise restrictions, so guests can party the night away.
