Reply to “Fancy dress stress” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread July 2010Found one – check out the Bizarre Bazaar if you're in need of fancy dress help… bizarrebazaaruk.com More
Thread “Tired of turkey?” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread July 2010Has anyone got any great alternatives to the trad Christmas turkey that would be suitable for large groups? More
Reply to “Tipi tips” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread July 2010That's great, thanks so much…
So does it work out better to buy rather than rent? Is there a lot of demand for tipis for weddings/parties etc at the moment? As far as I can see they seem to be springing up everywhere… More
Thread “Tipi tips” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread July 2010Does anyone know a reliable company that hires out luxury tipis/yurts/belle tents for weekends? Any ideas about costing etc? More
Thread “Hot topic” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread June 2010Is there an eco-friendly alternative to those horrible (but very useful) outdoor heaters? I daren't rely on the weather to be good enough for people to linger outside, but nor do I want to use those things as I've heard they gobble energy… More
Reply to “World Cup Party Food” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread June 2010How about spicy chicken wings/thighs marinated in Harissa, bit of cumin, herbs? Easy picking food… With some big salads – tabbouleh, roasted pepper and tomato salad. More
Thread “Henanigans” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread June 2010I'm looking for a PDR for 25 people for a hen party, possibly with some entertainment before/after/during. I'm not a fan of burlesque classes, usual hen thing – just want something to make it feel a bit different/special… Any ideas? More
Reply to “Festival entertaining” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread April 2010Lots of people say V is good for corporate entertaining, but I think it's a bit of a lame festival – no atmos at all. I was taken to the Big Chill by vodka company Zubrowka last year and had a great time. It's too far from London for a day though. How about a London festival like Lovebox or Field Day, both in Victoria Park? Music's better than V and smaller and more manageable too. More
Thread “Team building” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread April 2010I'm looking for a really fun, novel teambuilding experience – something that will be a real talking point, where people might be able to learn something – even if it's something like how to put together a newspaper, or make a scent. Has anyone out there tried anything that's really blown them away? Personal recommendations would be really useful… More
Reply to “Vintage props” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread April 2010Thanks so much! Really helpful responses… x More
Thread “Vintage props” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread April 2010I'm trying to find really interesting and unsual glassware/tea sets etc. I'm throwing a vintage-themed/prohibtion-style cocktail tea party so want to find pretty mis-matched tea sets which I can serve cocktails in. Don't have time to scour jumble sales etc and buy. Is there a company which hires out this sort of thing? Or a place where I can buy a job lot? They use this sort of thing at Bourne & Hollingsworth and it looks great… More
Thread “Fancy dress stress” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread March 2010I'm organising a themed party and want to get a fancy dress company to provide a dressing up box for guests so they can get into the swing of things. Does anyone know of a company which does this? I've seen brilliant stalls at festivals and venues (there was a great one at Punk once) and was hoping someone might be able to recommend a company… More
Thread “Cocktail conundrum” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread March 2010I have just heard that if you order a mojito, barmen think you're a pleb. Guess it's gone the way of the Cosmopolitan post SATC frenzy. So, I got to thinking, what is this year's hottest cocktail? Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received… More
Reply to “The little things” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread January 2010I went to an sportswear launch event at Sketch in the summer – food and cocktails were great and we were given a jacket and hat, as well as water and jelly sweets (not very healthy, but most appreciated) to take home. Wear the jacket for cycling and running all the time – was very pleased with that one… More
