What's your typical project size?

Anywhere from a 30-person private dinner to a 1,500-cap corporate launch. About 70% of our work sits between £15,000 and £80,000 in total spend, though we've produced both ends. Smaller events under £5,000 we usually refer to trusted partners.

How far in advance should we book?

Weddings: ideally 9–12 months out, though we've turned around a Provence wedding in eleven weeks. Corporate: 8–14 weeks is typical. Birthdays and socials: as little as three weeks if the brief is tight. We hold a small calendar of fast-turnaround weeks each quarter for short briefs.

London is home. UK-wide regularly, and we have repeat producers in Provence, the Amalfi Coast, Marrakech, Mallorca, the Cotswolds and the Scottish Highlands. Anywhere else, we'll quote travel and a scouting trip honestly.

How does pricing work?

A flat planning and production fee, plus suppliers at cost. We never take supplier commission — it keeps us honest about who's the right florist, caterer, or band for the room. Fees scale with guest count and complexity, not with budget.

Do you handle the legal & logistical bits?

Yes. Licensing, insurance, supplier contracts, accessibility provision, dietary management, transport, accommodation logistics, and on-the-night safeguarding. Anything you'd worry about, we handle.

What if we change our minds mid-plan?

It happens, often, and it's fine. We rebuild without drama. The 25% deposit is non-refundable; everything else (suppliers, venues, etc.) is governed by their own contracts, which we negotiate to be as flexible as we can.

Maison Estelle Event Planner — Mayfair Members' Club Private Parties

Capacity

16 to 140 across the club's private dining and event rooms

Best for

Birthdays · Socials & Pop-ups

The club's strongest formats for our briefs are private dining for 16–40 (a single long table in one of the upstairs rooms), full-restaurant takeover for 60–80 (the most common 40th and 50th birthday format), and the occasional small after-party in the lower-ground bar (continuing the inner ring after a separate dinner).

Maison Estelle's character is the value. Quiet rooms, distinctive interior, dedicated service that doesn't feel like service. The food is consistently strong. The bar programme is tailored to brief on request.

Lead times: four to eight weeks comfortably for private dining; eight to twelve for full takeover. Most of our Maison Estelle clients are members or have a member host the booking.

Questions, answered

Planning an event at Maison Estelle.

01How does Maison Estelle compare to Annabel's?

Smaller, quieter, more discreet. Annabel's is for the bigger, louder, more visual milestone parties; Maison Estelle is for the quieter dinner-and-drinks formats with the same level of finish.

02Do we need to be members?

A member host on the booking is preferred. We can usually find a workable booking route for non-member clients; tell us at brief stage.

03What about late hours?

Private dining and full takeover routinely run to 01:30. The club is licensed and the staff are practised at late-running private events.
