If you're a supplier who'd like to partner with What About The Kids please get in touch.
Florists
nutty’s flowers
If you’re looking for flowers, real or dried to add something a little bit extra to your event get in touch with Nutty’s Flowers. From flower table decor to flower walls and arches, they can transform your event with beautiful blooms.
Photographers
Florence Berry Photography
Family, Baby, Event and Wedding photography.
Florence’s style is fresh and candid, whilst still making sure she doesn’t miss any potential WOW moments. Whilst most of the shots are caught naturally, she is also available to help prompt nervous couples/children/families ready for their moment in front of the camera. Her aim is to keep approachable to ensure your photography experience is fun and relaxed!
Party boxes and kits, and party favours
Craft & Crumb
Craft & Crumb’s award-winning bake kit party bags will rival any of the usual plastic filled varieties that end up at the bottom of the fruit bowl! Their party bags are a memorable and unique gift that continue the fun after the party has ended. From dinosaur cupcake kits and superhero biscuit kits to sweetie strings kits and marshmallow good popcorn kits, they really will delight your party goers!
Pickles & Bakes
The Pickles & Bakes 'Edible Paint Biscuit Party Favours' make for the perfect end, to the perfect party. Each set comes complete with iced biscuits of your chosen theme, an edible paint palette and re-usable brush. They are mess free, eco friendly, delicious and super fun. All that's left for your guests to do, is paint to their hearts content before devouring their creation. Simple!
Grazing platters, party food and catering
Flourish Grazing Events
Based in Kent, Flourish Grazing Events create culinary masterpieces using locally sourced produce. From displays of fine cheese and paired chutney, cured meats and freshly sourced fruit and vegetables, the quality of these offerings is unbeatable. What started off as an idea in a kitchen in Kent, soon flourished into something utterly special. Art comes in many forms, from painting to song writing, but at Flourish Grazing, they use food to help to create displays which are in an artistic league of their own.
Venues
East Quay, WhitstablE
This tops our list for direct sea views and originality. The venue is the original oyster grading room of the Seasalter and Ham Fishery Company and still oozes coastal heritage charm. A regular wedding venue complete with a sizeable dining room, dance floor stage and open-plan kitchen and mezzanine level.
Eridge Village Hall
We love hosting events at this beautiful Victorian hall within easy reach of Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough and Rotherfield. A perfect rural setting with an acre of picturesque garden with the ability to seat up to 100 guests - a fabulous venue for weddings or parties.
Royal Wells Hotel
Stylish hotel in prime proximity to the Tunbridge Wells Pantiles area. If you're looking for an elegant setting for an afternoon tea party, wedding reception or other special occasion, the Royal Wells Hotel has great onsite facilities and fantastic dinner and drinks options too.
Networks, communities and blogs
B.LOVED
A superb blog featuring stylish and modern inspiration for anyone planning their dream wedding or party. Their features also now cover family, lifestyle and interiors written by an extensive team of contributors who are all passionate about one thing - inspiring hard working women! Check out their recent blog about a lucky three year olds' themed party that we had the delight of being part of.
Mums the word
Our favourite network for busy working mums run by two sisters (both mums) with bags of PR and event experience. Their vision was to offer ideas and facilitate events that all the family can enjoy together (including parents). They run #Wild_Child - monthly fun family dance parties as well as a series of regular Mamas meet ups covering every kind of topic on your mind. Super popular and often sold out so get in early!
