UNCOVER THE MAGIC OF UNIQUE VENUES AND FABULOUS FOOD

Planning an event in Surrey? We have a knack for discovering unique venues and collaborating with talented chefs, ensuring your event stands out from the rest.

MAXIMIZING YOUR NEXT EVENT WITH THE RIGHT SUPPLIERS

From the venue and catering, to the decorations and entertainment, every aspect of your event contributes to the overall experience for your guests. And choosing the right suppliers to suit the tone of your event can make all the difference.

WINTER PARTIES

Our winters in the UK can be pretty long, with the dark nights, short days and nippy weather – but they certainly do not have to be boring. In fact, we think they are one of the best times to arrange a party or celebration.

BEYOND THE SANDWICH PLATTER

When you think of a corporate working lunch, I am sure a sandwich buffet comes to mind...! Here at the Great Big Event kitchen, we are on a mission to ditch the classic sandwiches and provide lunches that are delicious and nutritious, and most importantly, loved by all.

GATHERING YOUR LOVED ONES TOGETHER!

Planning on hosting a party yourself this year? Whether you hope to invite a group round for finger food and fizz, or wanting to host a sit-down dinner with all the trimmings, why not let the Great Big Event help you feel like a guest at your own party?

FINGER FOODS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Whether you call them canapés, finger foods, or hors d'oeuvres – these well-presented small nibbles are so often the highlight of an event...

PARTY LIKE IT’S 2020 (OR 2021)!

Missed a special occasion or milestone birthday in the last year? With the various restrictions and lockdowns which have been in place across the country over the last year, many joyous occasions were sadly downgraded to the infamous “zoom” parties, or to very small gatherings.

SECOND TIME AROUND WEDDINGS

Life does not always go the way you might predict. It could be that a spouse has passed away, or simply that you’ve fallen out of love and hence the best decision is for you to part and find happiness with someone else.

WHY A MARQUEE IS ALWAYS THE BEST PARTY VENUE?

Extremely versatile in the design, venue and set up, using a marquee to celebrate an occasion gives you the perfect blank canvas to make a celebration totally “you”.

PARTY ENTERTAINMENT

Whether it’s a corporate event, a wedding, or a private party, you want to keep your guests engaged and entertained throughout the event. Adding entertainment to your party agenda can make your event unforgettable, leaving your guests talking about it for years to come.

CATERING AT SPORTING EVENTS

When you are having a day out at a sporting event, here at The Great Big Event, we understand that having fantastic food to accompany your day is of great importance. For everyone in attendance, whether that be fans or athletes, it can ruin your day if you feeling hungry or parched!

2022: WHAT A BLAST

As we see 2022 coming to an end, we have a lot to be grateful for. From providing the catering at the LTA Surbiton Tennis and organising some of the most magical parties and weddings, to corporate lunchtime catering and more still to follow - we've had a great year!

PLANNING THIS SEASON'S BEST CHRISTMAS PARTY!

Dare we mention the word Christmas yet? If you’re hoping to have a Christmas party this year, however big or small, we would say you need to start talking about it and planning needs to start! Whether you’re looking to host a Christmas dinner party, a festive afternoon tea, or a drinks and canape soiree, now’s the time get into the holiday spirit and start organising it.

THEMED PARTY INSPIRATION

As well as the joy they bring, themed parties are a great way of piecing together all the elements of a party. With the outfits matching the venue décor, music, invitations and food, with a bit of thought and creativity, the events can be quite the showpiece! Far from a child’s themed party, when done well, they are sophisticated and glamorous.
