Champagne, Caviar and Ainsley!

What a night! Music, laughter, banter and great conversation. All this plus champagne, cocktails, caviar and canapés. All the ingredients for a fabulous party – and it certainly was. Our showroom was bursting at the seams for the launch of Juliettes Exteriors, our new sister company specialising in global luxury property development and refurbishment. So much fun and so many selfies!

A group of five people dressed in formal attire stand closely together at what appears to be a party or social event. They are smiling and holding drinks. The background features elegant decor, including a chandelier and a large mirror, and other attendees are visible.

A woman in a black dress is smiling and holding a fluffy, light-brown puppy with a blue leash. She is standing in a well-lit room with other people in the background, some dressed in red and some talking. There is a gold-colored bar area with bottles and glasses behind her.

Surrounded by so many friends of Juliettes Interiors, there was hardly room to move – not that it stopped anyone, especially once the music got going. The wonderful Ainsley Harriott seemed to be everywhere, never flagging for a moment. He was certainly in demand, both for canapés and photos but, like the true gent he is, he never stopped smiling. His flair, exuberance and fantastic sense of humour made it an evening to remember. And I don’t think anyone will forget his unmistakable laugh in a hurry. So while a great many of us may have had a headache the next morning, I imagine he needed to give his facial muscles a rest.

Two people, dressed formally, are smiling at the camera in an indoor setting with other people in the background. The person on the left has light blue hair and is wearing a white jacket, while the person on the right is bald and wearing a dark blue suit.

Three women are gathered around a bar area. The woman on the left is pouring a drink from a bottle into a shaker. The two women beside her watch with interest while holding their own drinks. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly at a party or event.

Four people posing together at a social event, dressed in formal attire. One woman is wearing a patterned dress, and another is in a light, fur-lined coat, holding a purse. Two men are smiling, one in a black suit and the other in a dark blazer, holding a glass.

The champagne, gin, caviar and canapés were flowing, which probably explains the volume by the end of the evening. Our thanks to Kings Fine Food for the exquisite Siberian caviar, and Wild Island Gin for the essential ingredient in our signature J&T Cocktail. We were delighted to welcome Chris Osburn, otherwise known as Tiki Chris, the talented mixologist who created the J&T for us in a competition earlier this year. We lost count of how many were actually served but Juniper, our gorgeous gin trolley, did us proud – as did every member of staff who made sure that glasses were topped up and everyone was made to feel welcome.

A group of four people are joyfully gathered together. One woman in front is holding a smartphone to take a selfie. The others, including another woman and two men, are smiling and laughing towards the camera. They appear to be at a social event or gathering.

A stylish wooden bar cart on wheels features a top drawer with a handle, an array of bottles, glasses, and bar tools on the surface. The cart has compartments holding various liquor bottles and space for additional storage. It stands in a modern, elegant room.
Juniper, our Perfect Modern Gin Trolley

A woman in a navy blue lace dress is polishing a wine glass with a white cloth. She has her hair styled in an updo and is standing next to a large, ornate crystal chandelier. Other people are visible in the background at what appears to be a formal event.

Our guests enjoyed the unveiling of our new season’s luxury furniture collections, including our luscious new Dressing Room. Luckily, furniture of this calibre is sturdy, well-built and designed to withstand the rigours of daily life (and parties). Every piece of luxury furniture in the showroom still looked pristine the next day, unlike a few of us.

Two women are joyfully conversing at a social event. One wears a shimmering, metallic outfit and holds a martini while the other, in a black blazer and red scarf, holds a glass of champagne. Both have long blonde hair and are smiling. The setting is elegant and festive.

Five people are gathered in a luxurious room with white, ornate decor. Four of them sit on a couch, while the fifth person stands behind it, energetically posing with wide eyes and raised hands. One person on the couch lifts their leg playfully. Everyone seems joyful.

We would like to thank everyone who came along and made the evening such a success, particularly Ainsley who was utterly exhausted by the end of it. We loved every minute and, judging by the vast number of selfies taken on the night, our guests also had a great time. Keep an eye out for the next one because we can’t wait to do it all again.

Obviously time to go home…
