Wisley Garden Events
The stunning Royal Horticultural Society Gardens Wisley & marquee hire company Inside, Outside recently hosted a fantastic networking event in a beautiful section of Wisley Gardens in Surrey. In association with our good friends at Vanilla Bean Catering we supported the networking event with a mobile bar, flair bartenders and some very classy cocktails.
The day was organised as a networking event for all manner of local companies who are involved in the events industry. Everything from event caterers and equipment hire, to florists and mobile bars. It was a great opportunity for all the event companies in the area to meet each other and open up potential collaboration opportunities in the future. For us in particular we used this as an opportunity to show off our beautiful glassware (picture above) and our delightful cocktails!
We created two cocktails in particular that we aimed to showcase, the Butterfly Bramble and the Voodoo Mai Tai. The Butterfly Bramble was made up of gin, fresh lemon, white sugar syrup and blackberry liqueur – whereas the Voodoo Mai Tai was made up of a lovely mix of navy proof rum, demerara rum, fresh lime, fresh pineapple, falernum syrup and orange liqueur. Best of all, the piece de resistance, had to be the garnish on each. The Butterfly Bramble was accompanied by a beautiful butterfly on the rim of each glass hand-carved out of lemon peel; whereas the Voodoo Mai Tai was accompanied by a wedge of pineapple, soaked in overproof rum and flambé!
Our wooden fronted mobile bar fitted in perfectly to the surroundings, creating quite the hub of discussion and entertainment during the event. With close to 130 guests in attendance there was a fair amount of entertainment that needed to be provided. Alongside a live band were also our flair bartenders – with this particular event showcasing one of our multiple world champion flair bartenders, whom can perform some pretty amazing tricks:
