Wandsworth Foster Carers Awards

Formal Dinner for 150 guests.

PenniBlack were honoured to be asked to cater for the Wandsworth Foster Carers Awards, a celebration to mark the amazing achievements by the people who open their hearts and homes to the children across the borough.

The brief was to deliver a formal seated dinner for 150 guests with all the trimmings, to be hosted in the beautiful Wandsworth Civic Suite. The theme was gold and navy blue, so we opted for stunning gold beaded charger plates, gold rimmed glasses, gold napkins, and navy balloons.

The PenniBlack team also designed beautiful favour boxes with a selection of luxurious handmade assorted truffles for each of the guests.
