Private Events

We bring your special occasion to life

We create and execute luxury events and parties in Oxfordshire, the South East and beyond. Tell us your dream and we’ll turn it into a reality.

At Octopus Events, we deliver exceptional experiences that your guests will talk about for years to come. Our flawless execution and attention to detail allow you to relax and enjoy every moment of your celebration. From simple and elegant to dazzling and extravagant, each bespoke event is tailored to your needs and style whether it’s a weekend-long house party, a family celebration, wedding, fashion show, milestone birthday, ball or fundraiser.

We bring vision and over twenty years of experience.

From the venue and styling to catering and entertainment, we’ll oversee every aspect for you and run things on the day with unflappable professionalism. We love to see (and hear!) our clients’ reactions when they walk into their incredible celebration for the first time. There’s magic in the air when hard work and fabulous ideas come together in spectacular style.

Parties & Celebrations

Parties should be elegant, stylish, glamorous and, most importantly, fun. We design and produce spectacular events for your most joyful moments – milestone birthdays, family celebrations, anniversaries and engagements. If you’re looking for a reason to celebrate, we can organise seasonal events like summer BBQs, garden parties, Halloween, Christmas celebrations and cocktail parties. Our knowledge of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Cotswold venues is second to none.

Luxury Experiences

Special people deserve special experiences. We can help you to organise something unique to show someone how important they are. Art previews, VIP experiences, luxury train journeys, world-class theatre performances, private dining or behind-the-scenes tours – we’ve got plenty of ideas up our sleeves.

Get in touch with Sarah today to discuss your upcoming luxury experience.

Fashion Shows

Fashion shows need a theme, an aesthetic and an atmosphere. With models, fundraising, catering, music, high end production and promotion, there are a lot of moving parts. We’ll take the stress out of organising a memorable show so you can focus on hosting it… and looking at the clothes.
