Aiden’s 40th
An intimate 100-pax celebration hosted by Aiden at his private Abbotsford home, this event was designed as a journey through mood, music and moments. Guests moved between spaces transformed with intent, from a hidden speakeasy bar set in the garage, complete with a caviar station and live jazz singer, pianist and saxophonist, to a bedroom reimagined as a sultry Red Room with a nod to 1920s cabaret. DJs Flight Facilities set the pace as the night unfolded, blending burlesque energy with old-school glamour. Layered, immersive and quietly theatrical, the evening captured the essence of Cookes, considered hospitality, bold creativity and an experience that lingered long after the last song.
Nat’s 50th
A 50-pax gathering at a private Malvern East residence, this event saw the home completely transformed into a highly curated and beautifully styled setting. Guests flowed through the space enjoying an elevated canapé menu with roaming entrées, complemented by generous cheese and dessert stations designed to encourage connection. Roaming caviar rings added a playful touch of luxury, while a lemon sgroppino station delivered a bright, celebratory finish. Polished, intentional and seamlessly executed, the evening captured the Cookes approach to intimate entertaining where every detail is considered and every space tells part of the story.
