In addition to oodles of canapés served throughout the night  Create designed two colourful food stations; one savoury and one sweet. Guests sampled salmon ceviche, Vietnamese rice paper rolls, Coconut and turmeric pancakes as well as tangy beef salad. To keep everyone’s sweet tooth happy our sweet station was made up of chocolate bark, brownies and truffles with white chocolate mousse, salted peanut crumb and dark chocolate dipped honeycomb.

The event began with a lunch, before guests were taken on a tour of one of London’s most famous contemporary art galleries. After exploring the myriad of rooms and exhibitions, guests gathered to begin the bartending competition. The talented bartenders created some inspiring cocktails, using knock-out flavour combinations – all of which were presented beautifully!

 

While the bartenders showed off their skills, we showed off some of ours! Our team served a selection of Create canapés, including smoked bacon muffins with fermented apple, seared scallops with cauliflower puree, cep macaroons, artichoke eclairs and hoi sin duck bonbons. We also served up some tempting sweet canapés, such as Linzer tart, opera gateau and rhubarb and custard panna cotta.

The Saatchi Gallery is one of London’s most exciting venues. Its unique nature not only stems from its fascinating history, but also because the space itself offers a range of possibilities and flexibility for your event.

The couple wed in the Nash Conservatory. The oldest of the 19th Century glasshouses at Kew, the Nash Conservatory is of both major historical and architectural importance. The venue was originally built inside Buckingham Palace’s grounds, and was later moved brick by brick to Kew, by King William IV in 1836.

 

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests raised a toast with a drinks reception and cake on the Banks Lawn.

 

  

 

Later, the Kew Explorer arrived to take guests to their next destination: The Orangery. This Grade I listed venue is light, airy and elegant, making it perfect for wedding breakfasts. It offers stunning views over the landscaped gardens and has room for up to 200 wedding guests.

Guests were served a delicious three-course wedding breakfast by the Create team. The starter was breast of quail, with smoked English pancetta, pumpkin purée, candied pecans, baby leaves and balsamic syrup. Or, a vegetarian option of chargrilled aubergine and smokey moutabel, with pomegranate, parsley, garlic and tahini sauce.

 

For the main course, we served a rendered duck breast with duck liver bon bons, creamed savoy cabbage, smoked pineapple gel, a beetroot ribbon, brown butter and blackberry vinegar and fennel. Vegetarians enjoyed a main course of spiced ratatouille, wrapped in courgette ribbons, with cocottes of beetroot, parsnip, butternut squash and potato, served with a pastry crisp.

 

For dessert, guests tucked into a ‘snow egg’ – a guava and custard apple egg with a sprinkling of lychee sherbet. There was also a vegan alternative of white chocolate gianduja mousse, with cherry jelly, almond meringue, cherry sorbet and lavender shortbread.

 

Then it was time for speeches and the grand opening of the photo booth, before the couple hit the dance floor for their first dance. Guests then partied the night away to celebrate the happy couple!

In July, the Create team catered for a stunning wedding at the Grade I listed heritage site.

   

The day began with a wedding blessing in the State Apartments, a beautifully elegant space consisting of two rooms: The Council Chamber and the Ante Room. Over the years the State Apartments have hosted Monarchs and many other noble figures. The rooms were designed by Sir Christopher Wren and are adorned with paintings by the school of Van Dyck, Kneller and Lely as well as important carvings and mouldings by William Emmett, John Grove and William Cleere.

 

   

Following the wedding blessing, the newlyweds led their guests out to the Ranelagh Gardens, a secluded and picturesque part of the Royal Hospital estate, for cocktails and canapés.

 

   

We served a selection of delicious canapés chosen by the happy couple, including barbecue rib croquettes, beer battered oysters, sweetcorn fritter, braised short rib of beef wrapped in kataifi pastry, barbecue tenderstem broccoli with lemon and dukka mousse and charred lamb skewers with chermoula and coriander.

For the main course, our chefs served a rump of new season lamb, with aubergine and cumin puree, charred tenderstem, smoked and crushed new potatoes and mint and shallot salsa. Vegetarians enjoyed a heritage tomato ragout with dukka spice, smoked crumpet bread panzanella and sauce vierge.

Guests got a little surprise during the dinner service, as amongst the Create waiting team were a few unusual guests – The Three Waiters. The trio of singing waiters served guests their meals before breaking into song, much to the guests’ delight! A table magician then brought a touch of magic to the evening’s entertainment, before the evening’s hotly anticipated speeches.

   

Following the wedding breakfast guests partied the night away in the marquee, feasted on delicious wedding cake and headed out to the nearby Whiskey Tent where they discovered a Whiskey Bar, fully stocked with all the bride and groom’s favourites.

White Company founder Chrissie Rucker MBE attended the event and presented awards to her team during dinner.

 

 

The Lindley Hall was chosen for the event due to its central London location, its reputation for luxury brand events and its blank-canvas white walls.

 

On day one of the event, 184 delegates were treated to a tableside show of next season’s clothing collections. The show featured 18 models, showcasing the White Company’s products beneath The Lindley Hall’s Edwardian glass vaulted ceiling, which provided an abundance of natural light.

 

 

Guests enjoyed a selection of canapes including dry-aged beef truffle horseradish tarragon crème fraiche, classic smoked salmon cream cheese, dill and lemon on charred bagel, rosemary focaccia mushroom stroganoff, crispy chorizo whipped potato croustade served on a flowerpot filled with peppercorns, fried halloumi pave chilli pesto and lemon gel, and baked artichoke soufflé with sun-dried tomato cream and basil.

The venue’s North Annexe was used to house a number of items from next year’s range, including bedroom and dining furniture, which were lifted into the venue using its 3-tonne goods lift.

 

The Mezzanine and organiser’s office were used as back-of-house areas for the models, while production company Oxygen Event Services Ltd hung a catenary wire from the supporting beams of the ceiling to drape and section the room, built staging for the conference and awards ceremony and assisted with AV throughout both days.

 

 

 

A three-course banquet concluded the two-day event, with starters of gin and elderflower salmon, with elderflower cream, peach blossom, pickled lemon, spelt crumb and dill, or Greek salad with feta panna cotta, grilled snake beans with Inca tomatoes, compressed cucumber, oliver granola and basil. Main courses included duo of chicken, a Spatchcock terrine, butter poached breast with creamed spinach, salted grape, sweet corn succotash and brown butter sauce, or Asian eggplant, with baked Aubergine, miso glaze, beer and honey, roasted peanuts and wild rice.
