For anyone unfamiliar with Are Events, please could you describe who you are as a team and what you do?
ARC Events can organise your wedding, corporate anniversary reception or child’s bat mitzvah! We are made up of a bold, experienced, fun team of visionaries, creatives, and logisticians who all hold a deep rooted love for designing and executing memorable events.
What, in your opinion, sets you apart from other event planners?
We have all worked within the different sectors of the industry, from catering to marquees, so know better than anyone what it takes to plan and deliver an exceptional event. We are also lucky enough to be recommended planners at some of London’s most iconic and renowned venues - venues that know and trust us to deliver on a brief.
So the big question today: How do you find the right venue, and what do you suggest people look at before they book?
The venue will determine the rest of the event - the styling, atmosphere, budget, guest numbers, timings - the list goes on. So before booking, have a clear idea as to what you want your event to look like.
ARC have worked at so many incredible locations. What has been your most favourite venue to work at to date?
Honestly, there are too many to choose from and each has its own special magic. Our website maps out all the wonderful venues we are lucky enough to work at and who know us! Over the last 15 years of working in these incredible historical museums, galleries, palaces and iconic buildings, from Kensington Palace to the Natural History Museum, we have had so many pinch-me moments working alongside some of the world's most famous art and for creatives like us, it doesn't get any better than that!
And to close things off Anna, what projects have you got coming up this year that you are really excited for this year?
I’m not able to single out just one, but we are very lucky to be working in many gorgeous cities across Europe this year. We do however also love working on a traditional marquee wedding set in the Cotswolds, or a black tie gala dinner at the V&A, and are lucky enough to be organising a few of each!
