Considered, discreet celebrations for Holland Park families — from the garden squares of W11 to the houses off Abbotsbury Road.
Holland Park is a small, particular slice of London, and the families who live in it tend to want particular things. A lot of our Holland Park work is in the houses lining the north side of the park, off Abbotsbury Road and Melbury Road, and in the streets climbing up toward Notting Hill along Portland Road and Clarendon Road. We’ve been planning parties in W11 and W14 for long enough to know which garden squares will stretch to a marquee, which delivery van sizes will fit down the mews, and which families will politely decline to be photographed for your end-of-year reel.
The Holland Park brief
Holland Park parents tend to want parties that do not look like they have been planned. The effort goes in — the food is good, the entertainment is genuinely entertaining, the styling is considered — but the day itself is meant to feel unforced. Home events are the most common, especially for children’s parties aged three to eleven. Teen and adult milestones here often lean toward seated dinners, private garden events, and — for the bigger moments — use of the park itself or one of its neighbouring venues.
Venues and settings
Holland Park the park is genuinely beautiful for summer events if your brief allows for an outdoor setting and the weather plays along — we’ve worked with families using the Kyoto Garden area for photographs and the Orangery for receptions. Opera Holland Park has been part of the backdrop for some of our more ambitious adult events. For teen and adult milestones, private rooms in restaurants along Kensington High Street, Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park Avenue take us through the evening. Home events dominate, though — especially in the larger family houses in W14 and on the Notting Hill side of the park.
What it costs
A Tiny Tots Discovery Party starts at £300. Most children’s parties in Holland Park run £1,500 to £4,500, depending on guest numbers, theming and catering. Milestone teen parties and adult events vary widely depending on venue and guest count — a sixteenth at home with DJ, catering and styling might be £4,000; a full garden or private-venue event considerably more. We quote clearly and early.
Why Holland Park families choose us
Because our staff sign confidentiality by default, and we don’t post client homes on Instagram — ours or anyone else’s. Because our entertainers are theatre-trained, DBS-checked, and trusted in houses where trust matters more than almost anything else. Because the founder of the company is still the person you can call. And because forty-nine years of planning parties for Kensington-borough families means there’s almost nothing we haven’t already seen, solved, and quietly delivered.

Frequently asked questions
How much notice do you need for a Holland Park event?
Six to eight weeks for home events; longer if the brief involves the park itself or a larger private-venue hire. Summer Saturdays go quickly — we recommend committing early.
Can you run events inside Holland Park?
Yes. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permits organised events in specific areas of the park with the right application. We handle the permissions process and plan around the park’s rules for each location.
Do you cover Kensington, Notting Hill and Shepherd’s Bush edges?
Yes — the Holland Park brief is usually adjacent to these clusters, and we work across them routinely.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. Every member of our team signs confidentiality as default. Nothing we plan is published anywhere without your explicit written permission — no photographs, no names, no case studies.
