From Micro Pigs to Private Jets: The Art of Stress-Free Event Planning

According to a study by World Scholarship Vault, event planning has been ranked as the third most stressful job in the world.

Are you looking to put on a lavish dinner party? Or celebrate that special someone’s birthday in style? At Willow Concierge, we believe that life's most precious moments should be savoured, not spent stressing over the logistics. We specialize in crafting seamless, luxurious experiences, freeing you up to focus on what truly matters.

We recently planned an intimate dinner party at a client's home. We curated a bespoke experience, from selecting the perfect private chef and a professional mixologist to sourcing rare wines and beautiful, complementary tableware. The result? A night of exceptional cuisine and effortless elegance.

For a client's 50th birthday, we orchestrated a grand celebration at a top London private members' club. Our biggest challenge was coordinating flights and transfers for 40 guests traveling all the way from Brazil. We handled every detail, ensuring friends and family could celebrate together without a hitch.

For a pig-obsessed 10-year-old, we created a truly memorable birthday. We organized a custom piggy cake made by a specialist cake designer and, to the delight of all the kids, arranged for three adorable micro pigs and their handlers to visit the house.

Organising events for our clients naturally comes with immense pressure to make such deeply personal occasions run without any hitches, and we strive to supersede their expectations. But it is incredibly satisfying to see everything come together, and the joy that such events bring.

Willow Concierge is all about taking the stress out of your life and helping free up your time. From event planning to travel planning, sourcing gifts to finding the perfect household staff, our bespoke concierge and lifestyle services are certain to give you peace of mind and help you do more of what is important to you.

Protecting What Matters: Professional Art Collection Management

Did you know the British art market was worth an incredible £8.6 billion in sales in 2023? It's not just about the numbers; this vibrant industry supports tens of thousands of jobs and injects significant value into the UK economy. For art collectors, this often means managing incredibly valuable — and deeply personal — assets.

At Willow Concierge, we understand the immense value our clients place on their art and antique collections. Beyond their monetary worth, these pieces often carry profound emotional significance. That's why we support our clients with the management of their collections, providing peace of mind so they can get on with enjoying their passion.

We recently had a client, a passionate collector and founder of a globally-recognised art foundation, who needed to consolidate a large number of artworks from around the world. We meticulously catalogued every item, arranged secure, climate-controlled storage where needed, and even entrusted specialist removal firms we knew would handle everything with the utmost care. For this client, art is a lifestyle, and we continue to manage their collection, from updating inventories to attending auctions on their behalf, arranging for cross-border shipping of newly acquired artwork so they can be enjoyed and loved in their home. This frees our client from the tedious admin and stress, allowing them to focus on what they love.

This is just one way Willow Concierge simplifies our clients' lives. From event planning to daily diary management, household maintenance, or personal shopping, our bespoke concierge and lifestyle services are designed to expertly handle important tasks and free up your precious time.
