Jen & Jack’s epic East London wedding bash was none other than amazing! They had chosen their venue, Shoreditch Studios, which is an urban cool & trendy dry hire, blank canvas space. A converted railway arch in the heart of buzzing Shoreditch. Now they had their party venue, then what. Having busy work lives they got in touch to get some help to bring their ideas & visions to life. A true collaboration, their ideas & dreams + my event planning knowhow & ‘little’ (it’s quite big) book of contacts. Loved working with these two and giving them a dream day.
Nice words from Jen & Jack on working with me + my team.
Dear Dita, Thank YOU so much for ALL of your help and support both in the in the run up and on our wedding day. We truly had the best day of our lives and having you there really meant we were able to to simply enjoy it all. Thank you again! ALL OUR LOVE. Jenny & Jack (so, so many thanks Dita - you were a star *)
P.S Thank you also to your amazing team. And of course to Ross, that pork was still the best ever. We have had so many compliments on the food

The day started at Hackney Town Hall, after the I do’s they headed to the reception venue on Retro London buses - well the guests did. J+J stopped off at a local pub in Hackney to have a pint (ace!) before joining their 170 guests back in Shoreditch.

The exposed brickwork venue was decorated with nods to Jen’s Asian heritage with pink & purple orchids in blue patterned pots + single stems of red for good luck. Lots of white lanterns + festoons in the ceiling and a curtain at the end to give the room that cosy feeling! There’s was Hygge in the air for sure!

Guests were treated to a fab menu of Dim Sum Dumplings & Oysters reception washed down with Champagne & Aperol Spritz. Perfect summer wedding stuff. For the main meal, provided by amazing Ross, Seven Cherries Food, it’s was an all sharing menu of Scandinavian starter and the star of the show Lechon Pork for main. Suffolk pork as a nod to Jack’s roots. A full-on fusion foodie wedding menu totally personal to the couple. Love it. The huge cake was made by Jack’s mum. After the sit down meal it was all about the Espresso Martini’s - great way to kick off the party! :)

And a PARTY it was - all the way to 3am! - The Atlantic Soul Orchestra kicked it off, then a line up of DJ’s and even a sax player. When guests took a break from all the dancing, they had fun at the photobooth. Epic & fun wedding celebration! Really pleased to have been involved to make it all happen.
BIG UP for all the Brides out there doing a Brides Speech. You all rock. Just like Jen here heading up the spiral stairs doing her ace one to the room.

WOW, this one was a BIG WEDDING. I provided extensive partial planning for Jen & Jack (souring suppliers, catering, buses, staffing, fun stuff) + provided most of the bar. As it’s a dry hire venue J+J jumped at the option of doing a trip to France for all their wines & Champagne.
Huge thanks to Elizabeth Alice Holt for all of her great snaps credited above, rest are by Dita Rosted Events.
Get in touch if you need any help with a celebration you are planning. Thanks, Dita X
