the man behind the scenes
Our story starts at a bar in Brunswick, with two different 30th birthday parties, a shared cocktail, a three-hour conversation, and an evening that ended with a dinner invitation. One meal led to many more and, two and a half years later, at our home in Melbourne, a carefully arranged rose petal display posed a question – for which the answer was an immediate YES! Giddily, we celebrated our engagement at our favourite local restaurant and were soon busy planning what would be the best day of our lives.
our story - annie & andrew
A day in the life of a tableware hire company founder is a dynamic journey, where no two days are alike. Whether it's delivering elegant settings for a wedding, christening, or a vibrant birthday celebration, the diversity keeps things exciting. One day might see me unloading our delivery van, meticulously sorting cutlery, and ensuring every charger plate shines. The next, I'm immersed in the creative process, brainstorming unique charger plate, cutlery, and glassware options to offer our clients. This creative outlet is one of the best aspects of my job, allowing me to infuse a personal touch into each event we contribute to.
