Setting up for Saturday’s wedding of Hannah & Nathaniel at Chilham Village Hall. 
The bride added dark green accents and the beautiful fresh flowers.  We unloaded all the boxes, set out the china plates, tea cups and cutlery and napkins just before  the service started in the ceremony room next door. 
We have had the honour of working in some amazing venues over the years and Chilham is one of the best.

Fantastic networking meeting today with @wibnkent at @thecornerhousecanterbury.  The lunch was amazing as always. 

Today’s presentation was by @helentopliss1 from WPA Healthcare.  Very entertaining and informative with real life examples of how they have helped provide care for existing clients with their health issues. 
Great to be amongst these inspiring and professional women who are always ready to help and support each other and have fun doing it.

Friday’s event was Derek’s 85th birthday party with 40 guests at St Phillip’s Church Hall, Palm Bay. 
Bernice contacted us a few weeks ago to talk through her plans and we were so honoured to assist.

🫖 Behind the scenes - when you hire vintage china and accessories from us, we provide a Hire Inventory list.  This confirms the items we have delivered and helps when re-packing to ensure everything is accounted for. 
We provide sturdy boxes to re-pack everything in, ready for us to swoop in and collect either later the same day or the following day. 
And the best bit is that we do all the washing up!  We just ask that you remove all food and drink residues before packing. 
We have a huge range of items to hire for weddings, wakes, baby showers and hen parties etc and it’s more cost effective to hire rather than trying to source/buy everything yourself only to be left with re-homing or selling everything after the event.  It’s a great way to re-use and re-cycle, doing your bit for the environment too. 

If you have an event coming up in 2025 or 2026 and would like to hire some of our exquisite vintage china or accessories, to add that wow factor, contact us now to book.  A small deposit secures your date leaving plenty of time for planning, invites etc.
