A Private Celebration on the Douro

Private Celebration

Pestana Palácio do Freixo, Porto

A Private Celebration on the Douro

A baroque palace above the river, taken privately for one family and the people who travelled for them. Arrival drinks on the balustraded terrace as the fountain runs, a black-tie dinner in the frescoed salon under a single chandelier, a saxophonist working the length of the table, and a scalloped burgundy-and-ivory cake cut late. Porto does the rest: golden hour on the Douro, boats below, dinner that never feels hurried.

One Long Table, After Dark

Whether it's a private dinner for a client, a closing celebration, or simply honest, brilliant cooking, we hold a small book of Michelin-level kitchens across Berlin. We get you connected to the right room, the right chef, and the right table, often at short notice. Menus shaped with the kitchen, wine chosen for the table, service briefed before you arrive.

Anglo African Fusion Celebration

Signature

London · Art Deco Hidden Gem

Anglo African Fusion Celebration

A private art deco townhouse in central London, a hidden gem with a stone courtyard, a brass-clad hall and no in-house restrictions on catering or décor. That freedom is the whole point: we bring in a private chef, a jollof and small-plates menu built with the family, hand-woven baskets from home, tropical fruit still-lifes, ochre pottery and pastel tapers on pale linen. Two heritages, one long table, one uncompromising standard of service.

An Atlantic Celebration

Signature

Freetown Peninsula, Sierra Leone

An Atlantic Celebration

The peninsula reads as coastline first: white sand, palm shade, a light that flatters everything after four o'clock. We built an evening around it, suspended blush florals over brass-framed rounds, a mirrored top table banked in roses, Moorish lanterns overhead, and a guest list dressed the way West Africa dresses. Local growers, local makers, imported nothing that could be found within an hour of the venue.

London · Unexpected Spaces

The best rooms in London are rarely the ones with a wedding brochure.

We work with art deco townhouses, civic halls, converted warehouses and private courtyards, buildings with architecture worth photographing and, crucially, the freedom to make them feel like yours. We use the atrium to bring in as much light as the day allows, bring in plants and pieces that feel personal, and build a room that breathes. That means a private chef cooking jollof and small plates properly, drummers at the entrance, a ceremony in one space and a feast in another, all inside a building most people walk straight past.

Glazed courtyard with London stock brick walls, sash windows and a perforated brass screen, set with long banquet tables — A glazed courtyard between two brick elevations. Nothing dictated, nothing branded.

Brick atrium under a glass roof with long linen tables and cane chairs — Original stock brick, a glass roof, and tables run the full length of the room.

Long linen table with woven chargers and tapered candles against a brick facade in evening light — Late light on the brickwork, woven chargers, our own supplier list.

Overhead view of banquet tables laid with rattan chargers, papaya and chillies in a London courtyard — The plan from above. Papaya and chilli on the table, in the middle of London.

Blank-canvas venues

Architectural spaces with nothing dictated: catering, décor and music all ours.

Private chefs

Chefs briefed to cook the food that actually matters to the family, at the standard the room deserves.

Two-site evenings

Ceremony in a civic hall, celebration in a hidden courtyard, movement handled so no one feels it.

The private chef · a signature celebration

West African food, cooked with European service discipline, in a sourced London space.

Because the venue comes with no fixed caterer, the menu is written with the family rather than chosen from a list. We brief a private chef, build the menu across two culinary traditions, and hold it to one standard of service: everything arrives at temperature, at the same moment, for the whole room.

Server in a chef's jacket carrying a tray of suya skewers with red onion and tomato in palm-leaf dishes — Suya on skewers, palm-leaf dishes, passed in a brick courtyard.

Rows of citrus punch in cut glasses with mint and dried orange, beside champagne flutes on a white display — Chapman punch and champagne, poured side by side.

White fluted serving station with copper heat lamps, carved wooden bowls and ceramics against a stock brick wall — A station built to the room: copper lamps, carved bowls, ochre ceramics.

Overhead view of guests in aso-ebi seated along long banquet tables in a brick courtyard, plates of jollof and small plates — One long service, everyone eating at the same moment.

Server in black gloves pouring grower champagne into cut crystal flutes on a white display — Grower champagne poured to order, cut crystal, nothing pre-filled.

Tropical fruit still-life in woven baskets and terracotta vessels beneath a tall floral arrangement against a perforated brass screen — A tropical still-life in woven baskets and terracotta, set against brass.

Tropical fruit still-life with ceramic vessel, watermelon, pineapple and peppers on a dark table — A tropical fruit still-life with aged ceramic: the quiet before the room fills.

Drummers in white and Ankara cloth playing talking drums and djembes in a brick courtyard — Live drummers in the courtyard, the hour the room changes gear.

Monogrammed buttercream cake decorated with berries, dried citrus and edible flowers on a linen-draped table — One cake, dressed in fruit and cornflower, on its own quiet table.

The menu, in movements

On arrival

Suya skewers with red onion and micro herbs in palm-leaf dishes. Chapman punch with dried citrus and mint, alongside grower champagne and a proper zero-proof pour.

The feast

Jollof cooked over smoke, sweet potato and scotch bonnet velouté, grilled seabass with pepper sauce, ayamase, plantain three ways, and seasonal English vegetables handled with the same seriousness.

The European register

A tasting-menu discipline underneath it: one sauce per plate, correct temperatures, timed service to the table rather than a buffet queue. Michelin-trained chefs, family recipes, no compromise on either side.

To close

Tropical fruit still-life, puff-puff with vanilla, chin chin and coffee, then a late table of small plates for anyone still dancing at two.

Sierra Leone · The Freetown Peninsula

An Atlantic coastline, dressed for the evening.

A second African portfolio, and a different register entirely. Here the work is couture-adjacent: suspended florals over gold-framed rounds, a mirrored top table banked in roses, brass lanterns, and a room that arrives dressed. Everything sourced within reach of the peninsula, styled with the restraint the setting already has.

Suspended cloud of blush gypsophila above an aged brass-framed round table set with glass baubles and coral napkins — A suspended cloud of blush gypsophila over a brass-framed round, open to the Atlantic air.

Gilded mirrored table banked with pink and ivory roses beneath a Moorish brass lantern — One gilded table, banked in roses, a brass lantern doing the rest.

Guest in a fuchsia sequinned gown holding a crystal-framed circular clutch — Fuchsia sequins and a crystal frame. West Africa dresses for the evening.

Pair of fuchsia crystal-heeled sandals resting on a dark wooden veranda rail above a white beach — The morning before: a veranda rail, white sand out of focus behind it.

Naples · The palace rooms

Rooms that do the work before a single table is laid.

Access in Naples runs through the historic houses: gilded enfilades, coffered vaults, marble staircases lit like a stage. We open them for private dinners, drinks receptions and off-site openings, then style with restraint, because the architecture is the guest of honour.

Gilded palace enfilade in Naples with crystal chandelier and red carpet running through successive doorways — A gilded enfilade, candle-lit sconces and one long red runner. A processional arrival, ready-made.

Coffered stone vault and arched windows above the monumental staircase of a Naples palace — Coffered vaults and daylight through arched glass. A reception space that needs almost nothing added.

Château Saint Joseph · The house

A shuttered château, taken over entirely.

Pale stone, slate mansards and an ivy-covered wing in the south of France. We take the whole property for founders' retreats and private celebrations, so the house, the gravel courtyard and the long tables belong to one group alone.

The pale stone facade and slate mansard roof of Château Saint Joseph in the south of France — The main house at first light, iron lantern over the open door.

Ivy-covered stone wing of Château Saint Joseph with pale shuttered windows — The ivy wing, where the guest rooms and the quiet hours are.

Case study

One celebration, documented in full.

A wedding is one part of the work, and clear evidence of how we run multi-day, multi-country logistics with restraint.

Long tables set beneath the glazed roof of a London courtyard — One London room, prepared to carry two families and their traditions together.

United Kingdom · Africa

A Culture, Carried Without a Relative in the Room

Distance, and no one left a stranger to the day.

Her family arrived from West Africa only days before the wedding. With no close relative in the UK to carry her culture forward, not for her own new family, nor for the friends and business colleagues flying in from India, the Middle East and beyond, the day needed someone to hold that story.

As the owner of a luxury jewellery brand herself, she needed someone who understood exactly how to tell her story, not simply plan around it. The answer was a series of live video sessions run like short lectures for both families, covering etiquette and symbolism, so no one arrived a stranger to the day.

Family and colleagues were hosted at the highest level of hospitality throughout, the full brief and sourcing arranged at pace, the event delivered in two months.

The result: two families who understood the day before they ever stood in the room together, and guests from three continents hosted at a standard that matched the life she had built her own brand on.

The Concierge Desk

A phone call, a table, a door that was closed an hour ago.

Not every request is a three-day production. Sometimes it's four seats at a Michelin table in Berlin on Thursday, a chef who'll cook off-menu for a client, or a private room found the same afternoon. That is the desk, quiet, personal, and built entirely on names we already know.

Direct lines, not enquiry forms

Chefs, maîtres d'hôtel and general managers we've worked beside, reached personally, not through a booking platform.

Last-minute is our normal

Same-week private dining, late additions to a table, a venue found in an afternoon. We work the phone so you don't.

Briefed before you arrive

Dietary needs, faith requirements, seating politics, the wine that matters, all handled ahead of the door opening.

City to city

Berlin, London, Lisbon, Milan, Zanzibar. The same standard of introduction wherever the meeting lands.

Delegate · Institute of Directors, London

She Boss 2026, in the room.

Founders, executives and changemakers under one roof for a day built on connection, insight and celebration. Concept to delivery, curated to match the calibre of the venue and the women in it.

The keynote from the lectern, beneath the gilt and portraits of the IoD.

Conversations that carry on long after the panel closes.

Final briefing in the mirrored doorway, minutes before doors.

Partners and speakers at the step and repeat.

Berlin · A great find

One long table, after dark. A kitchen opened for you, in one of the best rooms in Berlin.

Not a hotel ballroom and not a restaurant booking. A small, seriously good kitchen that will cook off menu for eight or twenty eight, in a room held privately, with candlelight, proper glassware and service briefed before you arrive. This is the kind of address you only get through someone who eats there.

A private dining room at dusk, candlelight running the length of one long table — The room held privately at dusk. Candlelight down one long table.

Intimate by default

Six to thirty covers. One table, one menu, one kitchen paying attention all night.

Excellent cuisine

Michelin trained hands, seasonal produce, and a menu shaped with the chef rather than chosen from a card.

Found, not booked

Addresses most visitors never reach, opened by a phone call, often within the same week.
