How does it work?

From first enquiry to the morning after

A calm, considered process. We obsess over the details so you don't have to.

  1. 01

    Say hello

    Tell us as much or as little as you know so far. Even a date and a rough guest count is plenty to start with.

  2. 02

    A proper chat

    We'll talk through your ideas, your venue and the feeling you're after, and gently point out anything worth thinking about early.

  3. 03

    Come and see us

    Visit our West Sussex showroom to walk into the tents, feel the fabrics and see the furniture in person. It's the moment it all clicks.

  4. 04

    We visit you

    We come to your garden or venue, measure up, and work out the layout that makes the very best of your space.

  5. 05

    Your design

    You'll get a scaled plan and a clear quote, then we refine it together, as many times as it takes, until it's exactly right.

  6. 06

    We build it

    Our team arrives, installs everything and dresses it down to the last lantern, so you can enjoy the run-up rather than worry about it.

  7. 07

    Your day

    You celebrate, surrounded by the people you love. We come back the morning after and quietly take it all away.

Sustainability

Beautiful events, with a lighter footprint

We offset all our deliveries through tree planting, recycle, reuse and repurpose, and are always looking for ways to reduce waste on site. Our conscientious team can help you make the right decisions for your event, from battery generators to power it, to locally sourced food, to carbon-offsetting schemes that plant a tree for each of your guests.
