Alford Hall Monaghan Morris, Annual Summer Party

Brief

Alford Hall Monaghan Morris understand the importance of showing their appreciation to their staff. By throwing a fabulous Summer Party they could achieve this objective. Their staff would all be travelling from London therefore the party had to be worth the effort!

Our response

The venue was the beautiful Somerset Estate of Orchardleigh House, a magnificent Victorian Stately Home built in 1856. Jarvis Woodhouse privately hired the Main House allowing the venue to be specifically arranged and set up to their needs. Inside the main dining room, tables were decorated and arrangements were made for the room to be turned from elegant dining room into the perfect venue for the after-dinner entertainment.

The Gardens were available for guests to use on arrival and before the drinks reception. Croquet was set up for the group, as well as a competition in the form of a football match on the front lawn! Guests were free to use the estate’s 550 acres of parkland and lakes, and in the evening guests were able to retire to the Billiard room with full-size table.

Refreshments were served on arrival and a full bar was available throughout the evening with ample waiting staff on hand to serve the guests. Everyone enjoyed a fantastic four course meal before dancing the night away.

Music was provided in the form of a disco where all attendees took part if they wished to have a go playing DJ. Full technical support was provided, and guests were able to both request songs and use their own tailored playlists to entertain the rest of the group.

All print and design of the invites and the guest list management was supplied by Jarvis Woodhouse Events.
