Description
Great dinners feel effortless—but they’re never accidental. I plan and style social dinners across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, weaving together menu, mood, design, and flow so you can host with ease and actually enjoy your guests. From coastal-casual to candlelit chic, I create nights that are intimate, delicious, and beautifully you.
What I Do
- Concept and moodboard aligned to your occasion, season, and space
- Menu planning and chef/caterer coordination (dietaries managed)
- Beverage curation: wine pairings, signature cocktails, non‑alcoholic options
- Tablescape design: linens, crockery, glassware, flatware, candles
- Florals and foliage: seasonal, textural, locally sourced
- Seating plan, place cards, and custom menus
- Lighting and music direction for an inviting ambience
- Timeline and service flow for seamless courses
- Vendor bookings, hire logistics, delivery windows, pack‑down
- On‑the‑day setup, final styling, and discreet host support
Dinner Styles I Plan
- Intimate birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones
- Social catchups, reunions, and neighbour nights
- Alfresco coastal dinners and long lunches
- Pre‑wedding dinners, bridal showers, hens lunches
- Brand tables, press dinners, and client hosting
Why It Works
