After a day of brilliant sunshine, the short storm did not deter clients from the Venue Reservations BBQ on Monday the 9th July at Gibson Hall.

A Morrocan haven was created in the Gibson Hall by Silverleaf Productions. They helped to set the scene for a laid back summers evening in the city garden by providing low wooden tables, surrounded by comfy leather bean bags and Hookah pipes offering cherry and apple flavours. For the young at heart a Giant Jenga set was available to keep clients entertained.

The Garden room, which played host to the musical entertainment was also decorated with ornamental screens back lit in red tones and simple but beautiful fish bowl floral centre pieces added elegance to the room.

As guests arrived into the Garden they were greeted with a Cayman Cup cocktail and invited to enjoy the last moments of sunshine and guests continued to arrive in expectation of a great evening.

I would like to thank our partners who helped to make this event a success. The New London Orchestras showcased what they had to offer by providing a classical Harpist to wow the guests and modern interludes were provided by DJ Kamal of Vinopolis whose equipment was kindly donated by Eclipse Presentations.

It was important for us to really impress our guests with everything this venue and our services have to offer. An excellent BBQ feast was laid on by Kudos Hospitality. The menu received a great reception from the guests that included Beef and Ale Burgers with Smoked Garlic and Ginger Chutney, Cajun Spiced Chicken Fillets with Guacamole, Tomato and Red Onion Salsa and a Fillet of Tuna with Olive and Tomato Tapenade. This was all served with an array of pastas and salads. A Raspberry Panacotta with summer Berry Compote to finish really upheld the summer spirit despite the weather.

The whole event was a great success, we were able to offer clients show rounds of Gibson Hall, which, as always, did not fail to impress, and to discuss the comprehensive service Venue Reservations has to offer with our venue finding expertise for any event requirement.
