What we make.

You are marking something, a birthday, an anniversary, a reunion, and want it hosted properly without hosting it yourself.

Milestone birthdays

First birthdays, fortieths and fiftieths on a private beach, a rented island or a yacht: cake, décor, music and a photographer.

Anniversaries

A sandbank dinner for two or a beach party for forty, with a blessing if you want one and the flowers you had the first time.

Beach parties

Lighting, lounge seating, a bar, a DJ and a bonfire, designed to look right in the last hour of light and the first hour of dark.

Family gatherings & reunions

Multi-day island stays for the whole family: dinners, excursions and a group portrait at the end.

Private dinners & yacht evenings

Chef, table, lanterns and a boat: one evening, entirely arranged.

Maldivian celebrations

Naming ceremonies, Eid gatherings, graduations and family occasions in Malé and the islands.

How we work.

One planner from the first call to the last table. A written concept, a costed proposal and a rundown everyone has signed, so the day itself is the easy part.

  1. 01

    Enquiry.

    Tell us the occasion, the resort or atoll you have in mind, the date and the size of the group. We reply within 24 hours with an honest view of what is possible and hold the date. No fixed packages: every event is designed and quoted on its own terms.

  2. 02

    Your planner.

    One of our planners is assigned to you and stays with you to the end, reachable by phone, WhatsApp or video call and on hand for urgent matters from signing to the day itself. One person holds the brief, the budget and the vendors.

  3. 03

    Concept and theme.

    Your planner builds a concept around who you are: colour, florals, structures, lighting, table design and the shape of the day. Where you are unsure, we set out the options plainly. Key elements are drawn in 2D or rendered in 3D, so you see the set before it is built.

  4. 04

    Proposal and budget.

    A tailored proposal with a budget sheet that breaks out every component, from the arch to the table numbers. We work to a stated budget and show where money makes a visible difference. Quotations include GST and service charge. A 50 % deposit confirms production.

  5. 05

    Team and venue.

    We hand-pick the vendor team from our curated local network: florists, photographers, videographers, musicians, DJs, sound and lighting. Your planner walks the ceremony and dinner sites with the resort and agrees set-up times, sound limits and the wet-weather alternative.

  6. 06

    Rehearsal and rundown.

    A written rundown sets out the day minute by minute for the vendor team and for you. The day before, we meet on site, walk the sequence and reconfirm every earlier conversation so nothing is assumed and nothing is missed.

  7. 07

    On the day.

    Your planner and our production team are on the island from set-up to clear-down. We run the decoration sequence, cue the vendors and guide the couple, the party and the guests through the day. If the weather turns, the plan is already written and the call is made calmly.

  8. 08

    Afterwards.

    We clear the set, return the resort to its team and settle with the vendors. Photographs and films come to you through the photographers we introduced. We stay in touch for the anniversary, the next celebration or next year's retreat.

Recent work.

Nothing from this kind of commission is published yet; this is the newest work across the studio, from the same islands and the same team.

Questions.

The practical answers for celebrations: what it costs, how far ahead, what the resort does and what we do.

How far ahead should we book?

At least one month before the date; longer for a rented island, a yacht or anything in December, which is peak season across the Maldives. Tell us the date first and we will say plainly what is possible.

Can you host a celebration at the resort we are staying at?

Usually, yes. Most resorts welcome an outside planner for private events and we work with their events team on the venue, the food and the timings. A few run everything in-house; we tell you before you commit to anything.

How is a celebration priced?

There are no fixed packages. Your planner designs the evening and sends a proposal with a full cost breakdown: our fee on its own line, the vendors at cost, and government taxes (GST) and the 10 % service charge shown. A 50 % deposit confirms production; the balance is due before the event.

Plan a celebration

Commission a project.

A wedding, a styling brief, a celebration or a conference — tell us the dates, the island and what you have in mind. We reply personally within a day, and hold a proposal for five.
