One Belgravia
One Belgravia launch party, One Belgravia
On the 30th of March One Events were delighted to throw a party to launch our newest venue One Belgravia, and what a party it was! Guests arrived to a riot of stunning flowers which created an arch over the front door and up the grand staircase, designed and executed by Chantal Flores. As guests made their way into the ground floor reception rooms, they were greeted with silver trays of Prosecco, beers and a yummy soft cocktail, while cut glass trays of canapes were circulated in abundance. The lucky guests were then invited upstairs in groups of 40 for a short cinema experienced made all the more fun by the individual pots of truffle and parmesan popcorn, before making their way into the intimate dining room. The dining room was a striking picture of black and white, with black banqueting tables and stunning monochrome chairs by Great Hire, and more beautiful flowers. Guests were treated to a main course of Spiced Corning Hake, accompanied by a choice of delicious wines by the Knotted Vine.
After a brief spell of calm while they sat and enjoyed their main course, guests were then invited into the final space of the night; the ‘party’ room! The talking point of the evening was the ‘Cocktail Bank’ where guests had to select the marble collating to the drink that they wanted, which once deposited into the bank, rewarded them by an anonymous hand dispensing the drink of their choice. There was also a stunning dessert station, serving a variety of sweet treats, and the main bar, which ensured guest well supplied to fuel the dancing! The final touch were the pulled lamb kebabs and falafel flatbread wraps, which served to help soak up the booze and ensure guests left feeling well looked after.
