EXQUISITE COUNTRY WEDDING with style….

A huge amount of meticulous planning went into creating this incredible wedding reception at the bride’s parent’s house.

The garden was measured out to the nearest few centimetres and the square tent was erected centrally. The pure linen cloths were brought up from a London supplier, we had meetings with hire companies to play around with table settings, meetings with the florist to fine tune the exact shades of flowers and candles. A tasting with the caterers helped to firm up the menu, and this was just for the dinner part of the celebrations.

The nightclub tent was built on top of their swimming pool which also required some fastidious planning!

Why use the services of a wedding planner? Because they take care of so much of the detail, and you only get involved with the pleasurable decisions to be made! Wedding planners who have many years experience of working at the quality end of the industry, such as myself with over 30 years under my belt, can guide you and remove so much stress.

If you’re planning your wedding for 2025 or 2026, and floundering, please call us now. We charge a fee for our services and do not take commission from any suppliers as we are working on your behalf to get all the best arrangements in place from both a financial and practical viewpoint.

BEST OF BRITISH PARTY: And so this incredible choreographed party continued what with exciting modes of British transport for guests to arrive in, a British Brass Band, and, much to my surprise, I was asked to source a Dalek (an Inspired Event Management ‘first’) to schmooze with the guests during their bowl food supper (fish & chips, bangers & mash, Asparagus Pea & Parmesan Risotto)!

Initially I got a quote from an agency for a Dalek and despite my client confirming by return that she wished to go ahead, the Dalek was then not available. Never one to give up, I began researching Daleks in the vicinity of the party! Before I knew it I was part of a Facebook Dalek building group - which led to me finding the most obliging Dalek guru who brought his pride and joy RAD along to the party! I feel honoured to have now been made a member of The Norfolk & Suffolk Dalek Society!!!

The party continued inside and out with the swimming pool covered with red, white and blue helium balloons at different heights above the water, Shepherd Hut loos, British puds including Spotted Dick, Eton Mess & Lemon Meringue Pie.

The most brilliant Britpop band got the whole crowd dancing - even Bojo and Mrs T let their hair down on the dancefloor!

The party continued the following day with a Landrover Defender arriving to serve coffees and pastries.

A hog roast and salads etc fuelled the guests before some very competitive ferret racing rounded the weekend off! It was a very close race between Bad Boy Bubba and Sexy Beast!

Thankyou to my client for allowing me to share some images of this INCREDIBLE weekend, whilst keeping guest identities under wraps.

It was a pleasure to organise these celebrations - as you can see Inspired Event Management will always give 110% to try to ensure that we achieve all you ask of us!

BEST OF BRITISH PARTY: Continuing from previous post….some guests arrived in Del Boy’s Reliant Robin - it was hilarious every time this well-loved old car drove into the party!

Meanwhile, a 25 piece brass band played during reception drinks - British music of course including the National Anthem!

No detail is too extreme for us to organise to make your celebration personal to you, and hopefully to exceed your expectations too!

Our client asked that no guests take photos at the party, nor post anything on social media - so we are grateful to be able to post just a few photos of select moments from this epic party, whilst keeping guest’s identities hidden.

We do not take any commission from suppliers - we work on your behalf to get the best arrangements in place from both a practical and financial viewpoint. We charge a fee for our services which includes all anticipated travel costs as well as miscellaneous sundries, so there are no surprises!

Why post a picture of Uncle Bulgaria you may wonder? Well this is just one example of how far we will go to meet our clients dreams and wishes.

It was a pleasure to organise this Best of British summer family party, where guests arrived dressed in a multitude of outfits from The Spice Girls, to Mrs Thatcher, Bojo and Ali G! A lot of guests stayed in a hotel nearby and we organised a vintage 1949 bus to pick them up early evening and bring them to the party. The driver in those days sat in his own secluded compartment away from the passengers, so we needed to find a ‘conductor’ to welcome the guests onboard. My client asked me to make sure it was a Womble - just to really get the party theme going!

No detail is too small for us!!!

More amusing photos to follow….!

PS We have many years experience of planning Corporate Events too ranging from Family Fun Days for large crowds, retirement dinners, awards ceremonies and Out of the Office bonding glamping Festivals!

We also have organised many large Celebration Life gatherings offering sensitive support throughout planning and on the day.

40th BIRTHDAY PARTY BY A RESERVOIR: Now that the summer season has come to an end, one of the most enjoyable Autumnal jobs is to go through all the photos from every summer event - which occasionally results in me seeing details which I didn’t even know had happened on the actual day! It’s also a wonderful way to relive every celebration without walking another 25,000+ steps!!!

On this occasion, my client brought me on board having booked her tent and caterer but with lack of precious time she needed assistance with co-ordinating all suppliers, managing the finer details of her birthday party which always elevate any event, such as having more than enough candles, some effective lighting inside and out, hiring in trees and shrubs to decorate the interior, getting personalised t-shirts printed up for all catering and bar staff, menus, enough casual seating (which she created from pallets), wraps/throws for warmth to name but a few items.

Additionally, with the tipis on her land being set very close to their reservoir, she was keen to ensure that that was a spectacle rather than a dark mass of water!

After much research and presenting various options (including the idea of a tethered lit up hot-air balloon being suspended above the water), we had an eye-catching illuminated display of laser lights and different styles of fireworks at intermittent intervals over the water throughout the evening!

The whole party, with 150 guests, had a supercool vibe! Luscious amounts of oysters were served alongside canapés followed by a range of curries. A wide range of cocktails were served, many in mirrored discoball cups!! The sun came out which was a total thrill after an appallingly windy and wet set up - and meant that all guests could enjoy a truly amazing sunset in a very special corner of Suffolk!
