      We love to organise all types of celebrations, in particular the recent trend of having a ‘gender reveal' party - they're so exciting and there's always such a buzzy atmosphere! We also love personalized gifts and favours.

      Fun fact… We once planned an Alice in ‘Sunderland' themed afternoon tea party!

    • Thank you for everything you did for my Mum's party in the Bowes room.  I cannot thank you enough.  It went smoothly and the food was outstanding. The staff were brilliant too and all 10 of us that stayed at the Marriott enjoyed our stay as well.
