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.

The newlyweds welcomed guests with a receiving line at the entrance to their wedding marquee, before guests were seated for the piece de resistance: the wedding breakfast!
The meal began with starters of watercress velouté, served with parmesan and chive beignets, crème fraîche and fresh truffle. 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. And for pudding guests tucked into a decadent pecan pie with fresh meringue and nitro pecan ice cream.
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.

The historic building is famous for accommodating some of the world’s finest luxury brands, shops and restaurants, but for this couple’s special day we transformed it into a mesmerising setting for a wedding breakfast.
The couple wed at nearby St Paul’s Cathedral. Shortly after the ceremony our first guests began to arrive for the wedding reception; drinks were served and guests were entertained with soft jazz music from Beyond Certainty.
During the reception guests were served a selection of Create canapés, including breaded octopus with oyster mousse and caviar, crispy asparagus gnocchi with rosemary and parmesan cream and venison tartar, with chilli and chocolate sauce. Smoked mozzarella was served in tartlet cases, with aubergine puree and beetroot.

We served smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels, baked goat’s cheese and pimento tarts, pork and sage sausage rolls, mini cheese burgers, cones of beer battered monkfish with chips and chargrilled Mediterranean vegetable kebabs with goat’s cheese.
The bride was delighted with how the day went, and got in touch following her wedding to say, “On the day it was like a dream! Walking into the Royal Exchange and seeing the perfectly arranged tables took my breath away and was exactly how I had pictured my wedding. I knew the service would be great but it exceeded my expectations! As soon as the guests arrived they were served the most exquisite seasonal canapes and (Create) never allowed glasses of prosecco to be less than half full!
The food service ran perfectly to time with the service staff serving all the guests at the same time in a manner that would rival the best restaurants in London. My husband and I like to think of ourselves as foodies and the wedding breakfast certainly didn’t disappoint! The whole operation was slick and professional and three months on I still have guests raving about how fantastic the day was. I would highly recommend this fantastic company to anyone planning an important celebration or event.”

Create and Concerto host a very special client dinner at The Natural History Museum
The 150 guests were treated to a private viewing of The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition during the drinks reception, before moving through to the Hintze Hall for a five-course dinner with matching wines served by Create.
The dinner started with grilled and poached asparagus, parmesan biscotti, pickled onions and asparagus jelly. This was followed by Megrim Sole, chervil root purée, razor clams with wild mushrooms and scallions, chervil foam and beurre noisette.
The main course was milk-fed cannon of lamb and confit lamb shoulder, garlic leaves and sprouting broccoli, with spring swede, poached potatoes and lamb jus. Create’s two desserts explored each texture of pineapple with pineapple carpaccio, pineapple granite and pineapple air, followed by a seasonal rhubarb compote with spiced vanilla cream, macadamia nut brittle, rhubarb and ginger sorbet.
The matching wines were provided by Vintage Cellars. Flowers were provided by Pinstripes and Peonies and full production by Hawthorn. Fullcircle supplied the entertainment and Esprit the staffing.






“Create goes from strength to strength and continues in its ambition to be the [best] bespoke event caterer in London. Tonight is a fine example of the high-end, quality catering the team takes great pride in serving to its guests”.

The couple chose Syon Park’s impressive Conservatory, as they wanted a venue surrounded by nature yet also close to London. The day needed to have an Australian touch, to reflect the bride’s heritage, as well as London influences, representing the groom. When they walked into The Conservatory they knew it was the space for them.
The Conservatory is a living and breathing greenhouse, so this couple chose to only enhance its natural beauty with further botanical touches throughout.
The day celebrated the union of two families, but was also a huge party. The couple wanted to concentrate on the three things most important to them: amazing food, music and beverages.
The bride said: “I met with Sophie from Create and never looked back. Sophie’s dedicated and warm approach coupled with Create’s quality and ethos were second to none and one we felt instantly aligned to.”

The bride and groom’s love of blue provided design inspiration – using sun prints, wedding planner Knot and Pop worked with silhouettes of flowers to create a beautifully organic scene with an eclectic mix of materials, textures and references.
The day began with a drinks reception, where guests enjoyed Lychee & pink ginger soft cocktails, or Champagne.
The day was packed full of experiences for everyone to enjoy. A floristry workshop entertained the kids, teaching them how to make their own floral crowns.
The blue botanical design appeared across a statement cake, and on over two hundred hand painted tiles for painted cookies to lay on. The wedding cake was served later in the day at the tea and coffee station.
Escort cards were placed upon a bed of foliage, inked in blue, with gorgeous modern calligraphy flourishes.
Guests also enjoyed Marryoke, filmed singing snippets of Pharrell’s Happy, to then be edited into a music video for the couple to remember the fun of the day.

Charlotte and Toby wed at St Nicholas church in New Romney, before heading to Littlestone beach for photographs, whilst their guests hopped on a vintage bluebird bus to the reception, where the party began in tipis.
The evening started with a canapé menu of popcorn chicken lollipops, pan-fried scallops and parmesan crisps with pea risotto. Cold canapés included duck carpaccio, on a cherry macaroon with whipped feta, honey cress and cherry kernel crumbs, poppyseed macaroons and beef carpaccio, served on savoury flapjacks with horseradish cream, pea shoots and beetroot crisps.
Guests were then seated within the tipis for a three-course wedding breakfast. The meal began with a starter of beer battered goujons of haddock with oven roasted chips dusted with sea salt and vinegar powder, garden pea puree and homemade tartare sauce, which complemented the day’s seaside theming and décor.
A main course of pink roasted rump of lamb with leek and rosemary charlotte, sautéed sugar snaps, baby carrots and redcurrant jus followed, or vegetarians could opt for asparagus twice baked soufflé with potato spaghetti crisps, chanterelle mushrooms, peas and lemon cream sauce.
The couple chose to serve their chocolate cake, which was entirely covered in white Lindt chocolate balls, with raspberries and cream for dessert. This was accompanied by cheese from the London Cheese Company.

The Bride and Groom chose the crowning glory of the Syon Park gardens, the Great Conservatory as the venue to hold their lavish celebration. The towering pillars and glass dome were filled with tables dressed with fresh white linen, tall candelabra of plump bright white roses with rich foliage and a hint of purple, along with opulent green damask napkins and green coloured waterglass – offering a stunning table top for guests to enjoy their three course wedding breakfast at.
The create cheese cake made a beautiful focal point in the room (second to the Bride of course!), with autumnal fruits and vast truckles of varied British cheeses.
