Blank canvas venues

Blank canvas venues

In our 30 years as a caterer, we have catered for 100s of weddings and one question that comes up more than any other is, have you worked at a blank canvas venue before? It’s a huge concern for people, because until you’ve seen it happen, it really is difficult to picture the transformation of an empty space into a fully functioning wedding venue. Read More…

Event industry culture and how it affects our health behaviours

Event industry culture and how it affects our health behaviours

There’s a reason why Crossfit has become a global sensation, not because they reinvented exercise, people have trained in a similar way for years. The reason they have 13,000 ‘boxes,’ (gyms) and over 4 million members is because they found a way to create a culture, probably one of the most powerful examples we have in modern society. You only have to walk into a Crossfit box to feel it, there is a specific type of behaviour that’s encouraged to be part of the culture and that is to always give your best effort. Unless you’re willing to do that, you’ll probably realise Crossfit isn’t for you and you should find something else. The people that last in Crossfit buy into the culture 100%. Read More…

My first tasting… A taste for the senses

What a delicious experience!! I had a fun opportunity to hang out in the kitchen all day to experience a client catering tasting ‘behind the scenes’ with Executive Chef Adam Neale and Sous-Chef Maria Corrêa Monteiro.

Meet our amazing new events intern from across the pond – Jenna O’Grady!

My passion finally became reality…

Hi, I’m Jenna! I’m the brave American who decided to give up her finance job in New York City to pursue her dreams of event planning across the pond. The Event Academy is an incredible private institute in London that I found one day while googling ‘how to follow your dreams of becoming an event planner UK’. I sent an enquiry and literally within ten minutes, I received an email saying, ‘the head of admissions is in NYC right now, can you meet up with her?’ That’s when I knew fate was on my side and I had no choice but to jump onto this opportunity. I had two months to prepare for my wonderful new journey. Read More…
