  • Live Musical Entertainment: The evening continued with captivating performances by a talented violinist, creating an elegant and memorable atmosphere.

The Brief

The event should deliver an exclusive, one-of-a-kind experience at an iconic venue and deliver an event that allows for meaningful relationships to be formed.

Our Solution

An invite only event at Kew Gardens including a private twilight tour followed by dinner in Temperate House. 

Maverick Live led on the creative, delegate management, logistics, venue and caterer liaison and entertainment for this jaw dropping event. 

Networking was facilitated throughout the evening by board movement across dining tables to ensure face time for vendors. 

The event raised over £200k for the B&Q Foundation.
