YOU AGONISE OVER THE GUEST LIST, WE’LL DO THE REST

Throwing a great party is one of life’s special luxuries - an opportunity to give the gift of good times and memories to those you love. Life presents many a reason to host a fabulous party, whether family gatherings to mark a momentous occasion like an engagement or milestone birthday; to going away parties and retirements. They all have one thing in common - they have something to celebrate at the heart of it all. At Waxwing events, we know how to turn an average party into something totally spectacular. From inspiring venue design and decor to awe inspiring entertainment and food that’s truly Instagram worthy, nothing is overlooked.

We deliver the ultimate experience for you and your guests, allowing you to mark that special occasion in the most memorable way without having to lift a finger. We’ll work with you from conception of your event to execution, making sure that it’s every bit as awesome as you dream it to be from start to finish. Leaving you to worry about one thing only - who’ll get a coveted invite.

IT’S IN THE DETAIL…

  • We always start with the venue as it underpins the entire mood and character of your event. Leave it to us to find the perfect setting, from magnificent stately homes to trendy bars and hip restaurants; museums, galleries and everything in between - exclusively yours for your event.

  • Showstopping entertainment is what turns an average event into something people can’t stop talking about. We can help you create these precious memories by sourcing stand-out acts to surprise and delight your hand selected crowd.

  • We work with the best designers and venue dressers in the UK, to enhance your setting and add striking aesthetic elements in the form of floristry, lighting, candles, drapes, props and table dressing; always complementing and enhancing the unique features of your chosen venue.

  • We go to great lengths to create bespoke food menus as well as drinks to tie in with your event theme and showcase your personal tastes. From casual, street food stands with exciting, flavourful dishes; to exquisitely plated fine dining courses served to your guests, with complementary wine and hand selected cocktails - the focus is always on taste and presentation.

  • We work on the theory of integrating as many multi-sensory elements as possible to create an immersive, pleasurable experience for you and your guests. Everything combines to create a mood and ambiance, from sounds and visuals, to smells, textures and tastes. We work to create a truly experiential occasion that lives on in the memory long after the event is over.

  • No-one knows your event like we do - that’s why we’re always on hand at the event itself, to keep everything running smoothly and act as a point of contact for your event suppliers, meaning nothing is left to chance and you’ll never have to do anything but enjoy yourself. That’s a guarantee.

SIGNATURE EVENTS, FULL OF ATMOSPHERE.

LOVE ISN’T PERFECT, BUT YOUR WEDDING CAN BE.

A wedding isn’t simply an occasion to celebrate your love and future life together, it’s an expression of your personal style and it’s also a day to treat the ones you love to an occasion and experience they won’t forget. There is no right or wrong way to get married, the important thing is that you have your loved ones around you, that it’s what you want it to be and that it’s fabulous. That could mean a stately affair in a grand country mansion; a low key picture perfect gathering in a woodland hideaway or a sun soaked beach ceremony with the waves lapping at your feet. However you choose to get married, we’re experienced in tailoring your wedding day to suit your individuality and to make it everything you’ve dreamed of and more.

Our wedding planning services are comprehensive and platinum level support comes as standard. We only work on a limited number of weddings at a time, meaning we can dedicate more time to creating the day of your dreams. We’ll conceptualise with you and help to inspire your ideal wedding, source the suppliers needed to make it a reality, accompany you to meetings with suppliers, negotiate on your behalf, ensure terms and contracts are present and correct, manage your budget and be your central point of contact for all wedding planning matters - fielding supplier questions and queries quickly and efficiently.

Most of all we’ll be there to share the fun and excitement, it’s why we do what we do!
