1. What is your approach to crafting unique and memorable exclusive birthday party events?
At MGN events, we’re not just about planning events; we’re about creating unforgettable birthday memories. Our approach is a blend of creativity, innovation, and meticulous attention to detail.
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your aspirations and the emotions you want to evoke. Every event we create is a work of art, intricately designed to reflect your individuality.
2. Can you share examples of similar events you have planned and delivered for other clients?
Our portfolio comprises myriad extraordinary exclusive birthday party events that showcase our expertise, including:
- An intimate 40th birthday party for a super fan of the cult film, Kill Bill, held at The Trafalgar St James in central London. The theme was unmistakable in every detail including the colour scheme, and the evening featured witty film references from the birthday cake to the bespoke scatter cushion décor.
- A gothic romance-inspired 60th birthday event complete with illusory projections, exquisite botanicals, fireworks, dry ice, crystal chandeliers and custom-made, larger-than-life decorative features.
- A joint 18th and 21st Bollywood themed party held in a marquee in the grounds of a rural family farm. Catering for more than 200 people, the event was brought to life with exceptional details including Indian fusion food, stilt walkers and an aerial hoop artist, and an Indian elephant ice sculpture.
- An immersive Gatsby inspired 18th birthday party at a private residence in London featured a piano on the roof, a specially built swimming pool, Charleston dancers and professional immersive actors.
- With a clearspan marquee installed in a private garden, a 70th birthday party drew inspiration from the golden age of Hollywood. The atmospheric event featured an exquisite buffet-style dinner, two-tier cake, a roaming magician and a mirror ballerina.

Considering a marquee for your exclusive birthday party celebration is an excellent choice, and we specialise in adapting to various landscapes to ensure a seamless installation.
Our team is highly skilled at transforming even seemingly unconventional spaces such as uniquely shaped gardens, tennis courts, swimming pools, and areas with intricate landscaping into suitable locations for marquees.
We understand the importance of leaving your grounds in pristine condition. Rest assured; our goal is to maintain the integrity of your space. It is worth noting that factors beyond our control, such as excessive rain during installation or removal processes, may result in some disruption. We can even arrange for professional gardeners to enhance and titivate your grounds both pre- and post-event.
We look forward to demonstrating our expertise during a site visit.
Legal and compliance
22. How do you ensure legal and compliance best practice while working with your clientele?
We place paramount importance on legal and compliance matters. We ensure the utmost confidentiality and protection for our esteemed clients. We implement Non-Disclosure Agreements to safeguard privacy, discretion and security.
Given our extensive exclusive birthday party experience, we regularly collaborate with high-profile figures, celebrities and discerning individuals. Our legal and compliance framework reflects our dedication to creating a secure, trustworthy environment for our clients.
Contingency planning
