PenniBlack was delighted to once again deliver America's Birthday BBQ for our long-standing client, Wilson Sonsini, transforming Russell Square Gardens into a vibrant Fourth of July celebration for over 300 guests. With live barbecue stations, Americana-inspired styling, patriotic flowers and flags, and a relaxed festival atmosphere, guests enjoyed an evening of exceptional food, drinks and networking in one of London's most iconic garden settings. From five sizzling BBQs and multiple food and bar stations to thoughtfully designed vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, every detail was carefully considered to create a seamless outdoor celebration.

The event featured two beautifully styled food stations and two fully stocked bars, allowing guests to move freely throughout the space while keeping service efficient. The park was transformed with red, white and blue styling, American bunting, patriotic floral arrangements and stars-and-stripes details, creating a fun yet sophisticated Independence Day atmosphere. Drinks were served directly from cans as part of a low-waste service approach, while our experienced event managers, chefs, bartenders and front-of-house team ensured every aspect of the event ran effortlessly from start to finish.
